Michael Penix vs. Baltimore — Resurgent passing attack faces tough home test

Penix has revitalized Atlanta's offense since making his season debut, leading the team to consecutive wins while completing 73.3% of his passes for 479 yards over two starts. Operating under an overhauled scheme alongside playmakers Bijan Robinson and Drake London, Penix is fully healthy and entrenched atop the depth chart ahead of backup Tua Tagovailoa.

For Week 5, we project Penix for approximately 230 passing yards and 15.5 fantasy points in a favorable home dome matchup against the Ravens. While his roster rate has steadily climbed to 13%, his lack of rushing mobility keeps his floor modest, leaving him best viewed as a viable QB2 or Superflex option rather than a standard single-quarterback starter.

Tyler Allgeier vs DET at Home — Flex Consideration in High-Scoring Matchup

Operating behind Jeremiyah Love in Arizona's backfield, Allgeier has carved out a steady secondary role and is coming off a Week 4 contest where he broke free for a 22-yard touchdown. He has remained reliable in limited work, hauling in all six of his targets over his last two games.

With this game carrying shootout potential, our models project him for about 8 carries, 29 rushing yards, and 8.2 fantasy points. While recent offensive line injuries could limit efficiency on the ground, his rising start rate leaves him as a playable deep-league flex option.
