Kirk Cousins

Cousins has finished each of the last two weeks outside the top-20 quarterbacks, but there's hope for a rebound. The Dolphins rank 25th in passing defense with 8.1 yards allowed per pass attempt after enabling a Tom Brady resurgence. They're especially vulnerable if Xavier Howard doesn't return from a meniscus injury to cover Stefon Diggs. Cousins' gaudy lines are becoming fewer and far between, but he's a reasonable starter if Miami is missing its star cornerback.

Kirk Cousins throws late TD pass in Vikings Monday night loss

Kirk Cousins completed 20-of-33 passes for 208 yards on Monday night against the Seahawks. He tossed a six-yard TD pass to Dalvin Cook with under two minutes left in the game for the Vikings only points in a 21-7 loss.

Fantasy Impact

Cousins' final numbers look better than they were in a game that the Vikings offense sputtered against the Seahawks. It was the second straight game that Cousins was limited to 210 yards or fewer through the air with only one TD pass. He'll return home in Week 15 and try to right the ship against the Dolphins.
