Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank made it clear this week that the organization views Michael Penix Jr. as its franchise quarterback, signaling full confidence in his long-term future in Atlanta.  Blank praised Penix’s leadership, work ethic, and poise, note that the team believes he has all the traits necessary to lead the Falcons for years to come.  The endorsement from ownership reinforces Atlanta’s commitment to building around Penix and suggests the team will prioritize developing the offense to fit his strengths, that the new head coach will have to figure out.

For fantasy football managers, this confirmation cements Penix’s status as a long-term dynasty asset and puts added intrigue on the Falcons pass catchers moving forward.
