His 2024 debut left more questions than answers, and he lacks the rushing upside many other young quarterbacks use to set a floor.

Penix has the tools to become a top-15 starter this year. Whether he can advance this quickly is the big question. Atlanta has the offensive line and ground game to play balanced football. If Penix can leverage a more successful vertical passing game, Atlanta could compete with Tampa Bay for the division rather than competing with Carolina for a Wild Card. 

If there's a quarterback who could become a fantasy starter that's worth waiting for as your QB2 at the end of drafts, Penix is one of the top candidates.

Very cerebral quarterback. Throws with elite anticipation. Shows a great understanding and ability to diagnose defenses pre- and post-snap. Surrounded by talented weapons.
