Michael Penix Jr. and Malik Willis debated for fantasy football waiver claims

As NFL Week 8 approaches, fantasy football players are considering whether to add quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. or Malik Willis. Penix Jr. has been performing well for the Atlanta Falcons with seven touchdowns and no interceptions over the last three games. Meanwhile, Willis recently led a notable upset for the New York Jets. Penix Jr. averages 231 passing yards per game, while Willis relies heavily on his running ability, ranking second in rushing yards among quarterbacks. Upcoming matchups may influence decisions, as the Falcons face a tough Tampa Bay defense, and Willis leads his team against a weaker New England rush defense. Analysts are evaluating their long-term potential as waiver wire targets.
