Kirk Cousins Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-30 passes for 242 yards and one touchdown in Week 14's win over the Detroit Lions. Cousins rebounded from a tough Week 13 by completing 80% of his passes and finding 11 different receivers in a very efficient outing. He found rookie wideout Olabisi Johnson in the first quarter for his lone touchdown. Fantasy owners were surely expecting a bit more scoring from Cousins in this one, but the Vikings got up early and were in complete control from the get-go. Start Cousins with confidence as a QB1 in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is in line for a big game in Week 14 against the Detroit Lions. Cousins has become a model of consistency, tossing multiple touchdowns in seven of his last eight games played and completing 69.3% of his passes to this point in the season (at 8.5 yards per attempt). The Detroit Lions Defense has been getting demolished by opposing fantasy quarterbacks all season, including in Week 7 when Cousins exploded for 338 yards and four touchdowns. The only possible concern for his outlook this week is volume as the Vikings are favored by 13 points and may look to lean on the run. He'll need David Blough and the Lions offense to put up some points in order to approach his ceiling this week, which shouldn't be counted on. Still, start Cousins as a low-end QB1 in this extremely favorable matchup at home.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 22 of 38 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns in Week 13, falling just short of a comeback in a 37-30 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Cousins also threw his fourth interception of the year in the defeat. He was not as accurate as he had been in previous games, as the Seahawks Defense schemed against him effectively for most of the evening. Top wideout Adam Thielen (hamstring) missed this game and running backDalvin Cook (shoulder) left shortly after halftime, so getting those two back would surely boost Cousins' outlook. Cousins is on the QB1/QB2 borderline in Week 14 against the Detroit Lions.
