Outlook Michael Penix
Michael Penix at Green Bay — Starting Debut on a Short Week
Atlanta officially named Penix the starting quarterback for Thursday night's matchup against the Packers, marking his return nine and a half months after reconstructive knee surgery. Taking over the reins from Tua Tagovailoa, Penix steps into an 0-2 offense that desperately needs a spark after failing to reach the red zone across the first two weeks.
Throwing into live game action on a short week at Lambeau Field brings undeniable volatility. Our weekly projection lands at roughly 191 passing yards, 1.2 touchdowns, and 11.9 fantasy points. With roster rates lingering at 3%, fantasy managers in standard formats should keep him on benches until he establishes consistency, though he remains an upside stash in Superflex leagues.

Outlook Malik Willis
Malik Willis vs KC — Tough Matchup Limits Viability
Willis enters Week 3 leading an 0-2 Dolphins squad against the undefeated Chiefs after compiling 417 passing yards and two total touchdowns across his first two outings. He shook off a minor toe injury in practice and is set to pilot the offense as double-digit home underdogs, which could force Miami into a pass-heavy game script.
Our weekly projection forecasts around 156 passing yards and 19 rushing yards, totaling 13.6 fantasy points. Started in just 5% of leagues, Willis lacks the passing consistency to be started in standard 1QB leagues, making him a clear bench option outside of deep two-QB formats.
