Kirk Cousins

Kirko Chainz was amazing last week. The Atlanta Falcons passing offense is quickly rounding into form as Cousins looks more and more like his old self. He is the QB16 in fantasy points per game, but that's on the rise. Cousins ranks tenth in yards per attempt, 13th in CPOE, and fourth in highly acccurate throw rate. Don't be surprised if he is a QB1 again this week. Carolina's pass defense has been struggling allowing the sixth-highest yards per attempt, the 13th-highest CPOE, and the second-highest success rate per dropback.

Kirk Cousins completed 42-of-58 passing attempts for 509 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in Thursday night's 36-30 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Cousins was able to move the ball at will on Thursday night. He totaled a staggering 509 passing yards over the course of the night, and he was also able to score on four separate occasions. He looked like the same player that he was before last year's Achilles tear, and if he keeps that up, that will be terrific news for all of Atlanta's skill-position players moving forward.
