Kirk Cousins

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to cut veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins ahead of the new league year, which starts in mid-March.

Fantasy Impact

Cousins recently restructured his contract and reportedly is considering a career in television. However, he is not yet set on retiring and could continue his NFL career if an opportunity presented itself. Cousins has been open about his desire to return to a starting role.

Kirk Cousins agreed to a “modified” final two years of his contract.

Fantasy Impact

This move means Cousins could stick around with the Falcons heading into next season. It is possible it's dependent on who the next head coach is. It's also possible the modified contract makes it easier to trade him this offseason.

Kirk Cousins completed 18-of-32 passes for 180 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Falcons 19-17 win over the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

It was a quiet season finale for Cousins, but he did enough to get the Falcons another win to end the year. They ended the season in a three-way tie with the Panthers and Bucs for the division, which sent the Panthers to the playoffs in the tiebreaker. It is unclear what his future in Atlanta holds heading into next season.

Kirk Cousins completed 13 of 20 passes for 126 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Monday's 27-24 win over the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Cousins managed the Falcons offense well behind a run-heavy approach that saw running back Bijan Robinson go for nearly 200 yards on the ground Monday night. If the 37-year-old QB is aiming to land a starting gig next season, he's been doing a great job in the rehearsal. Headed into Week 18, Cousins has led the Falcons to three straight wins, completing 64.6% of his passes for an average of 232 yards and a 6-1 TD/INT ratio in that span. He's also only taken two sacks behind impressive offensive-line play. Cousins will finish the season in a matchup with the Saints.

Kirk Cousins completed 21-of-35 passing attempts for 197 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception while adding a touchdown on the ground in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Cousins had a good showing on Sunday. He scored three total touchdowns en route to a win over the Cardinals, although he also committed two turnovers on the day, which threw some cold water on his fantasy total. He should continue to sustain the fantasy value of Atlanta's best skill-position players over the last couple games of the season.
