Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. day-to-day ahead of Week 9

Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. is day to day with the bone bruise in his knee, but HC Raheem Morris told reporters that he feels “really good” about his QB for Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

Related Players: Kirk Cousins

Fantasy Impact:

The Falcons' offense has been quite the rollercoaster ride this season, and it could be another tough one against a good Patriots defense. Penix and Cousins can be left on benches this week, while Darnell Mooney is an interesting WR4 type regardless of who starts.

Falcons QB Michael Penix, WR Drake London considered day to day

There's a chance multiple key players return for the Atlanta Falcons' game Sunday against the New England Patriots.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Monday all players who have been injured lately are considered day-to-day in Week 9. That includes safety Jessie Bates III (ankle), quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee), wide receiver Drake London (hip), defensive lineman Zach Harrison (knee), cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. (hamstring) and edge rusher Jalon Walker (groin).

Fantasy Impact:

The Falcons take on the Patriots in the early window on Sunday and it looks like there's a chance both players are back for a Falcons team that struggled against the Dolphins. Penix has a knee injury and did practice leading up to last week's game. London has a hip injury. Hopefully we'll know more by Wednesday.

Kirk Cousins ‘highly likely’ to start Week 8

Falcons QB Kirk Cousins is “highly likely” to get the start Sunday against the Dolphins, in place of the injured Michael Penix Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

Cousins worked with the first team all week in practice as Penix was limited with a bone bruise in his knee. It would make Cousins’ first start since Week 15 of last season, before the Falcons made the switch to Penix in Week 16. Cousins draws a Miami defense that has ranks dead last in expected points added per play. It’s far from the worst streaming option this week with six teams on a bye.

Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. dealing with bone bruise in foot

Falcons HC Raheem Morris told reporters that Michael Penix has bone bruise in his foot that now will leave him day to day.

Related players: Kirk Cousins

Fantasy Impact:

The Falcons play an early Sunday game at home against the Dolphins, which is a great matchup. Considering it's a week with six NFL teams on their bye, Penix owners may want to pick up Cousins just to be safe. The earlier start will give owners time to make adjustments if they need to.
