Michael Penix Jr.
Premium tier / #34 overall
Michael Penix Jr. enters the 2026 season with ATL and ranks QB33 and #260 overall in the current Gridiron Value projection. The model projects 51.9 PPR points across 13.0 games, or 4.0 points per game, placing the expected outcome in a lineup and depth tier. The preseason depth chart lists Michael Penix Jr. as QB2, so the opportunity forecast is tied to that current role rather than name value alone.

Projection confidence is 43%, with a 0% modeled chance of a Top-24 positional finish. Availability is the main uncertainty because the current injury designation is Questionable.
