Kirk Cousins Not A Preferred Option At QB In Week 13
17 seconds agoAtlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has flopped in his last two starts, posting a 0:2 TD:INT in those games, although they came against some fairly good pass defenses in New Orleans and Denver. Week 13 brings a matchup against a Chargers pass defense that is middle-of-the-road based on fantasy points allowed to QBs, but has allowed at least two TD passes to be thrown in each of the last three games. Granted, one was at the hands of Joe Burrow and the other was Lamar Jackson, but the third was Will Levis, so Cousins certainly has a shot to do it as well. Coming out of their bye week, the 36-year-old has had plenty of time to prepare and this contest is a home game which should work in his favor. Los Angeles is also coming off a Monday night game, so will have had a little less time to prepare than normal. All that being said, Cousins has looked fairly pedestrian outside of three big games, posting a 6:8 TD:INT in the eight games that were not against Tampa Bay and Dallas. The veteran also won't help managers out in the run game. The 13-year pro figures to be a mid-to-low-end QB2 this week.
