Michael Penix Jr. News
Tuesday, November 10, 6:14 AM
Atlanta Falcons 26-year-old quarterback Michael Penix Jr. continued to struggle in a favorable Week 9 matchup against the Bengals, completing only 20 of 31 pass attempts for 162 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Surprisingly, he used his legs a bit in this one, which he is not known for, rushing for 50 yards on three carries. This season, Penix has been poor, ranking 28th in dropbacks per game, 20th in EPA per dropback, and 24th in expected fantasy points per game. His schedule also gets much harder over the next few weeks, with matchups against the Chiefs and Vikings on deck. Penix is a dynasty or deep superflex league until further notice.

Jayden Daniels News
Thursday, November 12, 9:22 PM
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 23 of 33 passes for 249 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in Thursday night's 24-21 win over the hosting New York Giants. He added 28 yards on 11 carries. Daniels wasn't at his best in Week 10, but redeemed two fourth-quarter interceptions with a game-sealing 32-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Stefon Diggs. They were the LSU product's first two picks of the season. Daniels has been solid this year for Washington, albeit underwhelming for fantasy due to a lack of a running game and injuries to his WR corps. Still, it was his first three-touchdown game since Week 6 of 2025, and his ball placement has been sound. He'll get another chance to be a fantasy contributor his next time out against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. Cincinnati has been a bit tougher on fantasy quarterbacks than the Giants, but is by no means a scary matchup, and Washington should be forced to score points.
