Kirk Cousins's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-35 passes for 232 yards and a touchdown but turned the ball over three times in a 34-14 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. Two of the turnovers came via interception and the other was a fumble that turned into a scoop-and-score for the Seahawks. It was the fifth time in seven games that Cousins failed to record two or more touchdown passes and he now has seven picks in as many games. This was supposed to be a favorable matchup with a banged-up Seahawks secondary and Atlanta favored by three points, but instead, it was a lopsided affair that went in Seattle's favor. While it makes Cousins hard to trust as a weekly streaming option, the good news is that the 36-year-old gets the Buccaneers in Week 8, a team he threw for over 500 yards against with four TDs just a few weeks ago, so he'll get an opportunity to bounce back next week.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins came back to Earth in Week 6, completing 19 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions on 30 attempts as the team went with more of a balanced attack. It marked the fourth time in six games that the 36-year-old threw for one TD or fewer, finishing outside the top 20 at the position for the week. Week 7's matchup with the Seahawks has shootout potential with 51 projected total points and the Falcons as only slim favorites on their home turf, which bodes well for the veteran signal caller's chances of putting up solid fantasy numbers, however, we should see more of a balanced attack again with Seattle looking particularly vulnerable against the run in recent weeks. Still, with the positive game script that is expected, the Michigan State product projects as a high-end QB2.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 19 of his 30 pass attempts in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Panthers. The 36-year-old tallied 225 pass yards and threw just one touchdown pass, as it was the ground game that took over in this one with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier combining for 200 yards rushing and three TDs. Outside of his monster Week 5 performance, the veteran QB has been fairly pedestrian for fantasy, with only two multi-touchdown performances in six games, while Sunday marked just the second time this season that he didn't throw an interception. Next week's potentially high-scoring home date with Seattle makes him a viable streaming option though, and assuming the offense keeps progressing he should be at least a high-end QB2 most weeks with upside.
