Expert Note
View More NotesThrough two games of the 2026 NFL season, Kirk Cousins is the QB11 in fantasy points per game. Do I expect this to continue all season? Nope. Do I also need to show Kirko Chainz some respect? Yep. Among 29 qualifying passers, he has been average on a per-dropback basis, ranking 19th in yards per attempt, 21st in passing success rate (13th-highest aDOT), 20th in highly accurate throw rate, and fourth-best in catchable target rate. Cousins has been better than many expected to begin the season. I don't know if Cousins has another standout performance in him for Week 3, but he's a viable streaming option and should return at least strong QB2 production this week. The Saints rank 17th in EPA per dropback allowed while giving up the sixth-highest passing success rate and 11th-highest CPOE.
Player News
View More NewsKirk Cousins completed 19-of-29 passing attempts for 253 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Fantasy Impact
Cousins played a good game on Sunday. He threw three touchdowns over the course of the day and he led Las Vegas to a big win over their divisional rivals. He isn't expected to be a good fantasy option himself moving forward but should be good enough to support at least two fantasy options on this offense on a week-to-week basis.
