Vikings QB Kirk Cousins completed 27-of-38 passes for 315 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Sunday afternoon's defeat to the Rams. He additionally rushed four times for 17 yards.
Fantasy Impact:
Cousins was coming off a combined 303 yards across the previous two outings, but broke out of his mini-slump this week with 315 yards. However, he threw his fourth interception in three games after recording a total of three interceptions through the first 12 contests of the year. He additionally coughed up the ball a whopping three times, though was able to recover in every instance. The Vikings offense was completely stagnant in the first half, but finally got going after halftime to keep the game within reach. Cousins was without the services of a healthy Adam Thielen in the second half, who re-aggravated his high-ankle sprain late in the second quarter despite returning to the field in the third frame. It remains to be seen whether he'll have his No. 2 pass-catcher available for next week in Green Bay. In any case, Cousins should serve as a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 for that pivotal game.
