From the article

Cousins is flying further under the radar than he would have otherwise been were it not for a poor showing against the Patriots last week. He had three consecutive games with at least 20 fantasy points before his 13.7-point, QB20 outing in New England. That poor showing notwithstanding, Cousins stands at QB9 on the season. On Sunday, he faces a Buffalo defense that's allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, including three 25-plus-point fantasy scores, matching the Lions and Commanders for most in the league, as well as the second-most pass completions per game (26.8).

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Cousins projected QB13 but source expects QB1 finish against Bills' weak pass defense.

Cousins is projected as QB13 with 17.4 points against Buffalo but the source predicts he finishes inside QB1 territory. He's flying under the radar after a poor 13.7-point, QB20 outing against the Patriots, but has three consecutive 20-plus-point games prior. Buffalo has allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks with three 25-plus-point scores; four of five opposing QBs have topped 265 yards with multiple touchdowns against them. The Bills-Raiders game has the week's highest over/under at 53.5 with the Raiders as 5.5-point underdogs, signaling a pass-friendly game script.
