Atlanta Falcons rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. went 21-for-38 with 312 yards, two passing scores and an interception during their overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. Penix added five yards and score on his lone carry. After averaging just 212.5 passing yards during the first two games of his career, Penix enjoyed a strong finish to the 2024 campaign, despite falling just short to the Panthers. The Washington product leaned on his top wideout Drake London as he threw to him 18 times. London also brought in both his touchdown passes and finished the day with 187 receiving yards. The 24-year-old has tallied four total touchdowns over his first three NFL games but sits with a 1-2 record, with both of his losses coming in overtime. Fantasy managers should expect Penix to be in the driver's seat to open as the team's starting QB in 2025.

Buffalo Bills defensive back Anthony Brown has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Brown was on the practice squad, but the team has decided to move on from him following their playoff victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The departure of Brown won't impact the Bills roster considering he didn't spend any time on the active roster. The 31-year-old hasn't played since the 2023 season with the San Francisco 49ers. However, Brown was a long time full-time starter with the Dallas Cowboys before leaving the team following the 2022 season. Brown will look to catch on elsewhere ahead of next season.
