Kirk Cousins Week 2 Outlook - Falcons at Eagles

Well, I went from not concerned a ton to EXTREMELY concerned about Kohl's poster boy. His Week 1 performance was...something. Cousins was the QB28 in fantasy with the 12th-lowest yards per attempt, the eighth-lowest CPOE, and the 11th-lowest catchable target rate. If he doesn't turn it around quickly don't be surprised if we start hearing chants for Michael Penix to take over. We'll see if he can turn it around in Week 2 against a Philly secondary that allowed the seventh-most passing yards, the third-lowest CPOE, and the 14th-highest yards per attempt in Week 1. Philly generated the lowest pressure rate in the NFL in Week 1, so Cousins should have clean pockets to set his feet.
