Cousins' QB1 streak faces jeopardy vs. 49ers' strong run defense.

Cousins sits as QB5 in fantasy points per game, but his sustainability is questionable. The Raiders' passing game relies heavily on Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty, which may be tough to sustain as a QB1. San Francisco ranks 11th in passing yards allowed (223.9 per game) and is much stronger against the run. Jeanty is averaging just 3.12 yards per carry and could still be in the Kubiak doghouse. If San Francisco contains the run, it puts Cousins in obvious passing situations, making it harder to move the chains. His three-game streak of top-12 finishes is in jeopardy; the source recommends pivoting to Malik Willis, Bo Nix, or Sam Darnold instead.
