Latest news

Falcons to start QB Michael Penix Jr. going forward

Pro Football Talk

The Kirk Cousins era in Atlanta is over. There was one?

There was. For fourteen games. After five subpar performances, Cousins has been benched for rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

It’s no surprise, given the things Morris said after Monday night’s unexpectedly tight win over the Raiders, and then earlier today, the story pointed out. As the story also added, it's a pretty stunning move considering the team is coming off a win, and they gave Cousins a contract with $100 million guaranteed. Of course, Penix was the eighth overall pick in the NFL Draft this past spring. It's tough to tell what fantasy owners will get if they need to start Penix this week, as it will be a bit of a risky call given it's likely a fantasy playoff game. The weapons are certainly there for him to have some success, and, it's a home game against the Giants. Owners can probably view him in the QB2 range for those type of leagues.

ATL QB Kirk Cousins - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 @ Las Vegas Raiders
As the Falcons claw their way out of an ever-deepening hole on offense, Kirk Cousins is doing all he can to pile the dirt back on. He's on an incredible streak of four straight games without a passing touchdown, pairing it with eight interceptions and a measly 6.8 fantasy points per slate. We have to expect him to snap out of it at some point, but you can't trust him as your QB in a pivotal Week 1 of the Fantasy Playoffs.
