Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. practices fully, takes all starting reps

Oct 14, 2026

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. left the Atlanta Falcons' Week 5 game against the Baltimore Ravens late in the fourth quarter after taking a shot to the ribs. He returned one play later to attempt one pass on third down, but Penix did not take the field with the offense for Atlanta's only possession in overtime after a lengthy drive by Baltimore.

He did, however, return to the field for the Falcons' first practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact:

Penix is back in the QB2/superflex conversation against Chicago, provided he avoids a setback.

Jeremiyah Love could miss Rams game with left ankle injury

Jeremiyah Love wasn't practicing Wednesday, and whether he plays Sunday against the Rams is uncertain with his lingering ankle problem.

Coach Mike LaFleur said the right ankle sprain the rookie running back suffered against the Raiders in a preseason game is healed. But Love's left ankle has been a problem for a couple of weeks and will be monitored day-to-day and "we want to get this ankle right," LaFleur said.

Fantasy Impact:

Allgeier is worth adding wherever available. If Love sits, Allgeier would have a real chance to move from a deeper FLEX into the RB2 conversation through additional carries and scoring opportunities. Knight would become a speculative option in deeper leagues, with his usefulness dependent on how Arizona divides the remaining work.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker listed as full on Wednesday’s estimated injury report

The Panthers listed Jalen Coker as a full participant on Wednesday’s estimated injury report as he returns from a quadriceps injury. Carolina did not practice Wednesday; Coker was on the field Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Coker is back in the WR2 conversation against Philadelphia if he progresses through the week without a setback. His return would push Tremayne and Metchie toward deeper-league bench roles, while McMillan remains a strong starter. Having both primary receivers available would also strengthen Young’s case as a streaming quarterback.

Marvin Harrison Jr. will make Texans debut Sunday

DeMeco Ryans said Marvin Harrison Jr. will play Sunday vs. the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact:

Harrison enters the WR3/FLEX conversation, but managers should account for an uncertain workload in his first game with a new offense. He offers considerably more upside if Houston gives him a substantial route share. Collins remains a WR1, while Boutte, Hutchinson, and Noel become harder to trust as standalone starters with another receiver competing for opportunities.
