Kirk Cousins - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

Kirk Cousins - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins played well in the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 35-year-old signal-caller threw for 344 yards, two touchdowns, and a pick. He also completed 75% of his passing attempts. Although Cousins has proven to be one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the National Football League over the years, his performance in Sunday's meeting with the Bucs exceeded expectations. However, he'll have his hands full on Thursday night against Philadelphia. The Eagles defense finished Week 1 as a top-10 fantasy unit, accumulating two sacks in the encounter with the Pats. The squad added an interception, courtesy of Darius Slay, who returned it for a 70-yard score in the first quarter. Still, Cousins has Justin Jefferson at his disposal, meaning he at least warrants consideration in 12-team leagues and up, despite the challenge ahead. At the same time, the veteran should be starting in nearly all Superflex setups.
