Positive signalProjection

Cousins is a viable starter in deeper leagues; spend 5-10% FAB.

Cousins has played well despite a lack of elite weapons, tying for the NFL lead with 11 touchdowns. While the upcoming schedule against the Patriots, Bills, and Rams is tough, he is a viable starter in deeper leagues. Pete Nova recommends 5-10% FAB, noting that he is a better long-term play than other waiver options.
