49°Availability
Kirk Cousins completed 21-of-33 passes for 234 yards with one touchdown in the Falcons 27-24 loss against the Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Cousins was able to avoid any turnovers on the afternoon. He was able to toss a touchdown to David Sills. He draws a much tougher Seahawks defense next week.
Kirk Cousins completed 16-of-23 passing attempts for 199 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's 24-10 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Sunday was Cousins' first start since Michael Penix Jr. (knee) was declared out for the season. The veteran looked pretty good in that game, finishing with about 200 yards and two touchdowns with just one turnover. He will likely struggle more in tougher matchups moving forward, but the eventual return of Drake London (knee) should also significantly help him.
Kirk Cousins will take over as the Falcons starting quarterback in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact
This was expected after the injury to Michael Penix Jr., but with the news that the Falcons starting QB will indeed undergo season-ending surgery, Cousins will officially move into the role going forward. Cousins came on in relief of Penix in this past Sunday's loss to the Panthers, completing 6 of 14 passes for 48 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
Kirk Cousins struggled on Sunday against the Panthers, going 6/14 for 48 yards in the overtime loss.
Fantasy Impact
Cousins entered the game in the third quarter after starting quarterback Michael Penix injured his knee. Penix could miss time, putting Cousins in the starting role. If Cousins does have to start in the upcoming weeks, he shouldn't be considered fantasy viable, and will lower the floor and ceiling of all Atlanta pass catchers.
Kirk Cousins went 21/31 for 173 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in his 2025 starting debut.
Fantasy Impact
Cousins struggled against a very beatable Dolphins defense, leading the offense to only 10 points. If Penix is unable to return in Week 9, Cousins won't be a viable fantasy play except as a desperate start in two-quarterback leagues.
