Who Should I Start? Michael Penix Jr. or Jaxson Dart

Sunday, November 2, 8:39 PM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts for 221 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the New England Patriots. He also added two rushing attempts for 19 rushing yards. Penix returned from a one-game absence and delivered his best fantasy performance of the season, finishing with three passing touchdowns for the first time in his young career. All three of those touchdown passes went to Drake London, who also accounted for more than half of Penix's passing yards. Penix fared well enough against a strong Patriots defense that we expect him to remain a solid QB1 option against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart remains a high-floor fantasy option for the Week 10 road matchup against the Chicago Bears due to his elite rushing production, despite a limited receiving corps. Currently the 17th-ranked fantasy QB, Dart averages a solid 18.48 fantasy points per game, significantly buoyed by his impressive five rushing touchdowns on the season. This week's opponent, the Bears, presents an appealing matchup for dual-threat quarterbacks, as they are the 26th-ranked fantasy defense against QBs, allowing an average of 19.66 points per game. Furthermore, Chicago's pass defense has been susceptible, allowing an average of 237.6 passing yards and 20 passing touchdowns through eight games, confirming Dart as a strong QB1 with significant upside.
