Fantasy Impact:

Kirk Cousins is likely the next in line to receive a blockbuster deal in the NFL, especially since his team, the Washington Redskins shelled out an enormous amount of money to lure Josh Norman to the nation's capital just a few days back. Cousins will enter his second-consecutive season as the team's starter and will look to build off of his record setting 2015 campaign this year. Cousins is a borderline QB1 with moderate upside. His success rests upon the health of DeSean Jackson, who missed seven games last season to injury. A healthy trio of Jackson, Pierre Garçon and Jordan Reed could be enough for Cousins to remain a top 10 fantasy quarterback.
