BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End QB2
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins (elbow, shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday, and looks like he'll be good to go for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. His injuries appear to be minor, and he may have simply been load-managed by his team.
The Falcons strangely flopped against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, somehow dropping a divisional game to a team that's been decimated by injuries. However, divisional matchups often lead to strange results, as teams prepare much more heavily for opponents they have to face twice per year.

Cousins is QB11 on the season, so he's a startable fantasy asset. He'll face the tough Denver Broncos defense in Week 11, though. Denver has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, which pushes Cousins into QB2 territory. He has a variety of weapons to throw to, though, so he should be mostly fine.
In most leagues, he's a fine starter. He has plenty of weapons on his offense that help him maintain fantasy relevance.
