Kirk Cousins Is A Tournament Option
5 years agoMinnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins projects as a solid tournament option in daily fantasy formats on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Cousins has been struggling after going off for an 18/1 TD/INT ratio in a seven-game stretch before their Week 12 bye, but he will finally have top weapons Adam Thielen and Dalvin Cook fully healthy. The Saints Defense has allowed 11 quarterbacks to throw for two or more touchdowns this season and starting cornerback Eli Apple (ankle) has already been ruled out. This matchup has the highest total of the weekend and the Saints are favored by 7.5 points, so it's highly likely that Cousins will be asked to throw quite a bit. Taking a chance on Cousins as an inexpensive, tournament-only option in daily fantasy formats could pay off in a big way.
