Michael Penix Jr. was exactly what the Falcons needed, problems piling up for Packers, plus more fantasy football takeaways from Week 3 TNF

Penix completed 18-of-25 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown. He had one interception and he wasn't sacked. Best of all, Penix got the ball to Drake London (9-194-0, 10 target), a welcome development after two washout games.

Penix has now made 13 starts (and played 15 games overall) as a pro. London's been productive in those games: 89-1,341-8. Looks like London can return his ADP, after all. But Kyle Pitts Sr. is another story. Pitts had just one piddly five-yard catch last night, and his career with Penix has been middling: 44-428-2.

There's no fresh reveal to Bijan Robinson 's 213 total yards and two scores, he's just a rare, generational talent. Jahmyr Gibbs was the consensus No. 1 pick most of the summer for good reason, but Robinson could easily wind up outscoring every back this year. Penix is good for Robinson, merely because it helps Atlanta sustain more offense; the buoyancy effect. But Robinson would be great anywhere.
