Kirk Cousins

Everyone loves to have an opinion about Cousins, but there's no denying the fact that he has been the QB3 in fantasy football over the past three games. Despite some tougher matchups, Cousins has gotten the job done and he's been incredibly consistent here as of late. Against the 49ers defense that's middle of the pack from a fantasy standpoint against opposing QBs, Cousins can be viewed as a solid low-end QB1 play with upside if this game turns into a shootout.
