Kirk Cousins Week 12 Outlook - Falcons at Commanders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 24th 2022, 1:05pm EST

Cousins is coming off a dreadful game against the Cowboys, and his prospects don't look any better in Week 12. Cousins' struggles against pressure are well known. He's 20th in PFF pressured passing grade, 26th in pressure-adjusted completion rate, and 25th in pressured passer rating (minimum 30 pressured dropbacks). New England's secondary is stout and suffocating, ranking first in pass defense DVOA with the lowest EPA and success rate per dropback since Week 5. Their pass rush is second in pressure rate. Cousins is a scary QB2.
