"Given reports early Saturday morning suggesting that the Falcons will sit their injured quarterback Michael Penix in favor of veteran Kirk Cousins, the intrigue shot through the roof for this Dolphins game. Should Cousins step in for Penix, who is questionable for the game with a bone bruise in his knee, it'll be interesting to see how this impacts the team's passing game."
"Given the concerns surrounding the quarterback position, Falcons running back Bijan Robinson and the run game should take center stage against the Dolphins. Leaning on the run game should do wonders to help take pressure off the passing game. Bijan should get back to playing like one of the NFL's best players against a vulnerable Dolphins run defense, which has given up the most 10 and 20-yard rushes of any team this season."
The Falcons enter Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins with quarterback uncertainty after Michael Penix suffered a knee bone bruise and could be replaced by veteran Kirk Cousins. The team chose to retain Cousins in March, and a start could affect the passing attack and Cousins' trade stock. The Falcons are expected to emphasize the run game, centering on Bijan Robinson against a Dolphins defense vulnerable to big rushes and receptive to running backs in the passing game per FTN Fantasy. The offensive line must bounce back after a rough outing against the 49ers, with right tackle Elijah Wilkinson seeking a rebound.
