Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) will be the starting quarterback in Week 3. Why It Matters: Penix Jr. has been recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and is now ready to return to the lineup. He will have good pass catchers to work with and can be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Michael Penix is set to make his first start for the Falcons since last November when the team faces the Packers on Thursday night and the quarterback shared his excitement about that return during a press conference on Tuesday.

Over the past eight years, the lefty quarterback has been injury free only in Montlake.
