Kirk Cousins Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 25-of-38 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 4 win over the Saints. The Vikings' offense looked out of sync at some points of this game, but Cousins was able to connect with Justin Jefferson on a 41-yard pass late in the game to set up a game-winning field goal. The veteran's fantasy production in this one wasn't eye-popping, but the tough matchup with the Saints shouldn't discourage fantasy managers from starting Cousins in the coming weeks. He gets a good matchup with the Bears in Week 5 and can be valued as a low-end QB1.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will face a tough Saints defense in Week 4 as the Vikings travel to London. The Saints have given up the fifth-fewest passing yards this season, and have allowed the fewest passing touchdowns. Cousins has had respectable production in two of the first three games this season, but a tough matchup away from home doesn't make him that appealing of an option this week. Despite offseason reports of becoming a more pass-heavy offense, this hasn't necessarily inflated Cousins' passing numbers this year. With a TD-INT ratio of 5-3, the veteran is at best a low-end QB1 option this week.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-41 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns in a come-from-behind win in Week 3. The veteran threw the go-ahead touchdown to K.J. Osborn in the game's final minute, as the Vikings offense looked much better than they did in a disastrous Week 2 effort. Cousins will continue to have QB1 appeal moving forward, but he likely has a limited ceiling in terms of fantasy production.
