Penix completed 13 of 21 passes for 135 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings.

The Falcons played from ahead for the entire game, and the team was happy to rely on its running game. That limited Penix's pass attempts, though he wasn't all that efficient with his opportunity, averaging only 6.43 yards per attempt while primarily targeting short areas of the field. Atlanta may be able to control their Week 3 matchup against Carolina in similar fashion, which could lead to another quiet performance from Penix.

Penix completed 27 of 42 passes for 298 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and rushed six times for 21 yards and another score in the Falcons' 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Atlanta.

Penix opened his first full season as a starter in fine fashion, looking poised and in command against a veteran, aggressive Buccaneers defense for most of the afternoon. The southpaw signal-caller leveraged Bijan Robinson's elite yards-after-catch skills on the opening drive, hitting his star running back for a 50-yard catch-and-run touchdown. Penix would go on to cap off an 18-play, 91-yard marathon drive in the fourth quarter with a four-yard touchdown run, and he then drove the Falcons a total of 60 yards in eight plays to put them in position for a would-be game-tying field goal that Younghoe Koo couldn't convert. Penix also lost Drake London to a shoulder injury for that final drive, and it remains to be seen if he'll have his top target available for a Week 2 road showdown with the Vikings next Sunday night.

Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson said Thursday that Penix, who did not suit up for any preseason action, is "ready to go" for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Buccaneers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Penix said, "I pride myself to make sure that each and every week I'm always ready come game day," though he acknowledged that "the biggest difference is the reps," or lack thereof, as he prepares for the fourth regular-season start of his NFL career. The presence of star playmakers Bijan Robinson and Drake London will assist Penix in his goal of hitting the ground running, and it's encouraging that Darnell Mooney (shoulder) has returned to practice in a limited capacity and seems to have a shot at playing Week 1. On the other hand, Atlanta's offensive line had looked like one of the team's major strengths the entire offseason, but with Kaleb McGary (leg) now done for the year and swing backup Storm Norton (ankle) out 6-to-8 weeks, third-stringer Elijah Wilkinson is expected to start at right tackle. The lack of reliable blindside protection will be a notable hurdle for the southpaw signal-caller to overcome Sunday and throughout the 2025 campaign.

Jacobs was limited in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers' ground game has struggled to get going through two contests, but Jacobs still has churned out 150 yards and two touchdowns on 42 carries while hauling in his only target for four yards. Coming off nearly a week of rest since last Thursday's win against the Commanders, though, Jacobs wasn't able to handle a full allotment of reps Wednesday as Green Bay prepares for Sunday's contest at Cleveland.

Jacobs rushed 23 times for 84 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted during the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

The workhorse back was the only Packers running back to log a carry, and Jacobs worked hard for his yards all night considering he had a game-long run of just 10 yards. Jacobs also went in for his second touchdown in as many games on a two-yard run just before the midway point of the second quarter, rounding out his fantasy performance in solid fashion. After logging 43 touches in the first five days of the new season, the veteran back now will get some extra time to ramp up for a Week 3 road matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Jacobs rushed 19 times for 66 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for four yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Lions.

Jacobs scored at least one rushing touchdown in eight consecutive games to close out the 2024 regular season and extended his TD streak to nine games with a three-yard score in the fourth quarter. He's locked in as Green Bay's bell cow running back, as Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks had just one carry apiece. Jacobs will look to add to his touchdown streak in Thursday's Week 2 home game against the Commanders, who held the Giants' running backs to 30 combined rushing yards in Week 1.

Brown hauled in all five of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

Brown saw his target volume fall back down to earth following last week's 16-target, 10-catch outburst. The veteran wideout still led the Chiefs in receptions, with his five targets being usurped by only Travis Kelce's six in an overall lackluster passing performance Sunday. Brown could see his target share cut into if Xavier Worthy (shoulder) continues trending towards playing in Week 3. That said, Hollywood should stick in the starting lineup at least until Rashee Rice (suspension) returns in Week 7. Brown remains a plus PPR play when the Chiefs visit the Giants next Sunday.

Brown brought in 10 of 16 targets for 99 yards in the Chiefs' 27-21 loss to the Chargers on Friday night.

Brown led the Chiefs in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and Xavier Worthy's exit from the game on the third play from scrimmage due to a shoulder injury certainly played a part in the former's boost in opportunity. While Brown's mostly short-area role left him just short of the 100-yard mark despite the significant catch volume, he did record a game-long 49-yard reception. Brown's chemistry with Patrick Mahomes was certainly encouraging after the veteran wideout missed the majority of the 2024 regular season due to a sternoclavicular injury, and his hefty workload could come close to being replicated in a Super Bowl LIX home rematch with the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 14 if Worthy is sidelined for that game.

Browning appears set to take over as Cincinnati's starting quarterback for at least several weeks, with Joe Burrow (toe) slated to undergo surgery and expected to be facing a three-month recovery timetable, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Browning stepped in to relieve the injured Burrow during Sunday's 31-27 victory over the Jaguars, completing 21 of 32 pass attempts for 241 yards and two touchdowns and three interception while also scoring on a game-winning, one-yard touchdown carry. The presence of the standout receiver duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will assist Browning's efforts to produce while stepping in as Cincinnati's starter under center, beginning with a Week 3 matchup with the Vikings. The Bengals currently have Brett Rypien on the practice squad but are likely to add additional quarterback depth in the near future. While Browning may face additional competition in the weeks to come, he now becomes a priority add in fantasy formats that allow multiple signal-callers to be started.

Browning replaced an injured Joe Burrow (toe) in Sunday's comeback win over the Jaguars. He completed 21 passes on 32 attempts for 241 yards and two touchdowns and ran for the game-winning touchdown. He also threw three interceptions.

Browning's interceptions were pretty rough, especially on the latter two throws. The Bengals will need him to tighten it up going forward as the schedule appears to be tougher. Burrow has torn toe ligaments and could be out several weeks, so the burden will likely fall to Browning in the near term.

Dicker made both of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Chargers' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Monday.

All four of Dicker's kicks came from within 40 yards, with his 38-yard try early in the first quarter being his longest kick. He hasn't attempted a field goal more than 40 yards, but his distance has never been an issue as he went 16-for-20 across the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons. Dicker's leg will be needed in the Chargers' Week 3 contest against a Broncos defense that yielded five field goals to Spencer Shrader across the Colts' seven offensive scoring drives in Week 2.

Dicker went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries during the Chargers' 27-21 win over the Chiefs on Friday.

Dicker had no problem connecting on his field-goal attempts from 39 and 36 yards in the second quarter, and all five of his kicks came from within 40 yards. He's coming off a strong 2024 regular season in which he made 30 of 31 field-goal attempts within 50 yards and went 9-for-11 on tries from 50-plus yards. Dicker has missed just five field-goal attempts since the start of the 2023 season and will have his opportunities to show off his kicking power when the Chargers' offense stalls outside the red zone.

Coach Aaron Glenn noted Wednesday that Fields (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Fields sustained a concussion during Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com and Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports report.

Fields was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bills to be evaluated for a possible concussion.

Dobbins rushed the ball 14 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts. He added one reception on two targets for nine yards.

Dobbins rushed the ball 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Titans.

Worthy (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Coach Andy Reid said that Worthy (shoulder) will practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Worthy (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, but the Chiefs believe the receiver is "looking good" to play Week 3 against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Meyers finished with six receptions (on 12 targets) for 68 yards in Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers.

Meyers brought in eight of 10 targets for 97 yards in the Raiders' 20-13 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Meyers, who is still seeking a contract extension with the Raiders, appears further entrenched as the team's No. 1 receiver following the announcement of Amari Cooper's retirement Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Taylor (ankle) caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Taylor (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Taylor (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills but is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
