Kirk Cousins A Solid Option At QB In Week 9 Versus The Cowboys
16 seconds agoAtlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns last week against the Buccaneers and draws another favorable matchup in Week 9 versus the Cowboys who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to the QB position. Atlanta typically leans pass-heavy, throwing almost 57% of the time, and with the Falcons as three-point home favorites with a relatively high expected total in this contest (48.5), it sets up for a good day for the 36-year-old signal-caller. Keep in mind, however, that outside of the two games against Tampa Bay, the veteran QB has posted only modest production in the six other contests, averaging 220 yards passing with a 6:6 TD:INT. Nevertheless, with 2x All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons still out and Dallas likely missing a couple of other key defensive pieces, Cousins projects as a low-end QB1 for Week 9.
