Kirk Cousins benched for Michael Penix Jr.
Rookie named Atlanta's starting QB moving forward
By: Doug Orth | Tue Dec 17, 7:00 pm

The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to a 4-year, $180M contract this offseason with $90M fully guaranteed. He will head to the bench after starting just 14 games for Michael Penix Jr. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)

FFToday's Take: While it was probably a move that should have been made a while ago, there is no question that it still comes as a shock given the money Cousins is still owed. Schefter notes that if Atlanta cuts Cousins before the start of the new league year, it will leave the Falcons with a dead-cap charge of $65 million. With regards to Penix, there will be expectations for him right out of the gate as the No. 8 overall pick coming into an offense with such a dynamic supporting cast. The left-hander will draw the Giants in his first career start, which gives him a chance to be viable in fantasy this week. While he is not the same kind of running threat he was before all of his college injuries, he is a very capable runner, which puts him in the mid-range QB2 conversation.
