Michael Penix Jr. Looks Sharp in Loss

Sunday, October 18, 6:53 PM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. put together a strong performance under center during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. He completed 19-of-33 passing attempts for 225 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the loss. Penix was mostly reliable, but he did lose a fumble during this game. This was the first time this season that Penix threw multiple touchdowns in a game. He hasn't been a great fantasy option so far this season, but this performance should give fantasy managers some hope. We'll see what he can put together against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.

Shedeur Sanders Unlikely to Be Traded Despite Hiring Agent

Saturday, October 17, 9:24 AM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is unlikely to be moved before the November 10 trade deadline despite recently hiring his first agent, according to Jonathan Jones of The Athletic. Sanders signed with Adie von Gontard of Young Money APAA Sports after previously representing himself, raising questions about his future in Cleveland. However, Jones reports that general manager Andrew Berry remains fond of the 2025 fifth-round pick and would be reluctant to trade him. Sanders has barely seen the field this season behind Deshaun Watson after completing 56.6% of his passes for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions across eight games as a rookie. His contract runs through 2028, giving Cleveland an inexpensive option to develop while Watson's long-term future remains uncertain. Sanders has no immediate redraft appeal, but his age and contract situation make him worth holding in deeper dynasty superflex leagues.
