Michael Penix at New Orleans — Intriguing Streaming Upside Indoors

Michael Penix looked sharp in his season debut following an ACL injury, throwing for 256 yards and a touchdown against Green Bay to secure his starting role over Tua Tagovailoa. Operating Kevin Stefanski's offense alongside playmakers like Bijan Robinson and Drake London, Penix demonstrated impressive arm talent despite offering virtually zero rushing output.

Traveling to face New Orleans in the Caesars Superdome, our models project Penix for approximately 254 passing yards, one touchdown, and 16.7 fantasy points. Although his non-existent rushing baseline caps his floor, his capable supporting cast and dome conditions make him a viable streaming candidate in deeper formats and Superflex leagues.
