Outlook Michael Penix

Michael Penix at Tampa Bay — Surging Efficiency in Division Tilt

Michael Penix is completely past his mid-October rib concern and enters Week 8 on fire after tossing three touchdowns with zero interceptions in a win over the 49ers. With six passing touchdowns over his last two contests, he has demonstrated command of the offense and elevated top targets Drake London and Kyle Pitts.

For this road matchup in Tampa Bay, our projections peg Penix for 15.3 fantasy points on roughly 232 passing yards and 1.5 passing scores. While his near-zero rushing floor limits his ceiling, his razor-sharp form makes him a viable streamer and high-end QB2 for fantasy managers needing bye-week quarterback help.

Outlook Rachaad White

Rachaad White Set for Expanded Workload in Division Clash With Eagles

Rachaad White is healthy and in line for elevated touches following Jacory Croskey-Merritt landing on injured reserve with a groin issue. Operating ahead of Jeremy McNichols and Austin Ekeler in the backfield rotation, White should handle meaningful early-down carries while serving as Washington's primary pass-catching back.

Our weekly projections expect White to generate around 11 fantasy points, anticipating roughly 7-8 carries and 3 receptions for 47 total yards. With Philadelphia struggling on a five-game losing skid, White profiles as a reliable Flex play whose weekly floor benefits from his passing-game role.
