MichaelPenix Jr.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Much to the shock of most of the football world, Penix was selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the No. 8 pick in the draft out of Washington. Falcons coach Raheem Morris simply fell in love with Penix and took his guy, despite the Falcons having signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract in March. The plan is still for the Falcons to start Cousins at quarterback, meaning Penix will serve as a backup for the next couple of seasons as long as Cousins can stay on the field. Penix is on the "old" side for a rookie, has two right ACL surgeries on his resume, adds little with his legs and won't play any time soon. He should be drafted in dynasty formats only.
