Atlanta @ Green Bay
Team Totals: Packers 25.5, Falcons 19
Nearing a state of desperation, the 0-2 Falcons will start Michael Penix Jr. at Lambeau Field after Tua Tagovailoa, Cooper Rush, and Jack Strand failed to answer the Weeks 1-2 bell. Penix tore his left ACL last Week 11 after previously tearing his right ACL in both 2018 and 2020 in college. This is a streaming spot for Green Bay’s D/ST as near-touchdown home favorites versus a Falcons offense that’s already conceded the NFL’s third-most sacks (7). … Penix made nine starts in 2025; in them, Bijan Robinson averaged 22.7 PPR points per game versus 21.6 sans Penix. The Packers have defended the run well early this year, but Robinson is the ultimate bellcow, averaging 24 touches through two games. Atlanta has activated only two running backs for its game-day roster. Bijan is a weekly top-three RB1.
