Why It Matters: Penix started slow, but he eventually found his rhythm with a lot of quick passes that led to yards after the catch. He even hit a couple of downfield shots as the game wore on and the Packers committed numbers to trying to slow down Bijan Robinson. Given the long layoff, it was an encouraging performance, but the final totals still don't move the needle. What Penix's presence does is help open things up for guys like Robinson and Drake London. As far as standalone value, Penix isn't worth owning unless you're going to carry three QBs.
