PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026
Bold prediction: 300+ passing yards, 3 TDs, and a top 10-12 QB finish this week against the Jets; the source ranks Cousins way too low by consensus and projects him to become the first QB this year to pass for 300 yards against New York. Cousins leads the NFL in touchdown passes and is positioned as a strong streaming option despite being a short underdog; the source expects him to win and extend his starting time in Las Vegas. The source notes Cousins will face San Francisco next week after the Jets matchup.PositiveProjectionOct 26, 2026
Leads the NFL in touchdown passes and ranks third in passing yards. Delivered QB1 finishes in recent weeks (QB9 last week, QB8 this week) with consistent production: 295 passing yards and 2 TDs in Week 7, 313 passing yards and 2 TDs in Week 6. Has at least 2 passing touchdowns in all but one game this season (only Week 5 vs. Patriots had 1 TD). The source recommends adding him, noting he 'looks like he's going to have another QB1 finish' and benefits from Vegas's struggling run game forcing pass volume.PositiveProjectionOct 24, 2026
Week 7 streaming recommendation against Los Angeles Rams. Cousins is playing well with QB13 season ranking, posting 313 passing yards and 2 TDs vs Buffalo last week in a 3-point loss. Josh Allen likes him this week with better value in 6-point passing TD formats than 4-point, though schedule gets difficult in weeks 9-12 (SF, Seattle, Denver, Cleveland).PositiveProjectionOct 17, 2026
Kirk Cousins is a recommended low-end QB1 streamer for Week 6. Despite recent struggles, he faces a Buffalo defense allowing 298 passing yards and 100 fantasy points per game in a high-total 53-point game. He is also noted as a potential source for long touchdown passes to Trey Tucker.PositiveProjectionOct 15, 2026
Highest-ranked QB option among the group (Tyler Shuck, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Kirk Cousins). The source loves this matchup for Cousins and sees bounce-back potential this week with a favorable opponent.NegativeProjectionOct 12, 2026
Kirk Cousins is a polarizing streamer option; while he is coming off a poor performance against New England (243 yards, 1 TD) and faces difficult upcoming matchups against Buffalo and the Rams, he remains a viable streamer due to his tendency to hyper-target Brock Bowers in favorable home environments.NegativeRoleOct 12, 2026
Kirk Cousins is expected to remain the starter for the immediate future to attempt to win upcoming home games before his job security is re-evaluated.PositiveProjectionSep 28, 2026
Has nine passing touchdowns through the season and is putting up low-end QB1 numbers consistently; the Raiders are 3-0 and he's averaging three touchdowns per week. With Brock Bowers back and an elite play caller in Clint Kubiak, Cousins is on a heater heading into a huge matchup against Kansas City this week. The source emphasizes this is a strong streaming and league-winning opportunity in deeper and superflex formats.PositiveValueSep 26, 2026
Terrence Ferguson recommends Kirk Cousins as a viable streaming quarterback, noting his six touchdown passes over the last two games and a QB10 finish in Week 2. Ferguson praises the Clint Kubiak offense for its effectiveness despite the team's injury issues, though he acknowledges concerns regarding Cousins' interception rate.PositiveProjectionSep 14, 2026
