Kirk Cousins A Risky Start Versus 49ers

Kirk Cousins A Risky Start Versus 49ers

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look for a bounce-back effort in Week 7 after an underwhelming performance against the Bears in Week 6, as he managed just 181 passing yards. The veteran is in for a tough matchup against the 49ers defense, who have allowed just 4.5 yards per attempt to quarterbacks this season. Cousins will again be without his All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson in this one, so it looks hard to trust the Vikings signal-caller on Monday night. Although he ranks first in passing touchdowns and second in passing yards this season, fantasy managers can consider streaming a quarterback in place of the 35-year-old. Cousins has the look of a low-end QB1 at best in this matchup.
