Kirk Cousins

The Jets have coughed up over 300 passing yards in each of the last three games, which is especially troubling considering the opponents (Blake Bortles, Case Keenum, and Andrew Luck). Cousins finally took it easy with a lighter workload against Arizona's atrocious rushing defense, but he should get a chance to pick apart a battered secondary if Trumaine Johnson (groin) and/or Buster Skrine (concussion) sit out again. Cousins is a fine, low-floor starting option.

Kirk Cousins limited to 233 passing yards in Week 6

Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-34 passes for just 233 yards during the Vikings 27-17 win over the Cardinals in Week 6. Cousins threw one touchdown pass on a 13-yard strike to Adam Thielen in the third quarter. He also ran for a seven-yard score later in the quarter, finishing with 14 rushing yards on four carries in the game.

Fantasy Impact

With the Vikings pulling away in the second half, Cousins threw a season-low 34 passes on Sunday, resulting in his lowest passing yardage for the year, as well. Cousins salvaged his fantasy day by adding a rushing score, his first of the season, on a read-option that he kept for the score. Cousins and the Vikings travel to New York to face the Jets in Week 7.
