Outlook Michael Penix
Michael Penix makes season debut at Green Bay — risky start on a short week
After missing the first two weeks recovering from knee surgery, Michael Penix makes his season debut as Atlanta's starting quarterback on Thursday night in Green Bay, with Tua Tagovailoa serving as the backup. The 0-2 Falcons desperately need a spark for an offense featuring weapons like Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson.
Fantasy managers should view Penix strictly as a superflex option or bench stash for now. Facing a tough road environment on short rest, our models project modest production around 212 passing yards, 1.3 touchdowns, and 13.6 fantasy points, making him too volatile for standard single-QB lineups until he proves his form.

Outlook Christian Watson
Christian Watson vs. ATL — Primed as Top Target at Lambeau
Watson enters Week 3 as Green Bay's primary perimeter weapon after racking up 187 receiving yards and three touchdowns over his first two contests. He quickly returned from a sideline evaluation last game to find the end zone, and with fellow receiver Jayden Reed ruled out with a neck injury, Jordan Love should lean heavily on Watson's playmaking ability.
Fantasy managers have pushed his start rate to 90%, trusting him as an everyday lineup fixture. Our projections slate Watson for around four receptions, 69 yards, and strong touchdown upside (15.3 fantasy points). With Green Bay favored at home, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a strong start.
