All Fantasy Points insights about Kirk Cousins
PositiveValueOct 27, 2026
Kirk Cousins is available in 43% of leagues and leads the position in passing touchdowns with six of seven games featuring either 295+ passing yards with 2+ TDs or 3+ passing TDs. He is QB11 by fantasy points per game with five QB1 finishes in his last six games, performing well against top-tier opponents (Kansas City, Buffalo) and appearing relatively matchup-proof. The source recommends him as a stable QB2 option providing more consistency than pure streaming—the strategy is to roster Cousins and still stream the best weekly matchup at the backup spot. Despite an upcoming tougher strength of schedule (Jets above average, 49ers top 10, Seahawks top 3), the source argues he deserves more credit than a typical streamer and may be the best QB available off waivers.NegativeDepth ChartOct 21, 2026
The source highlights the risk of Kirk Cousins being benched in favor of Fernando Mendoza, which would render him replaceable by waiver wire options.PositiveProjectionOct 16, 2026
Kirk Cousins is a strong streaming option and a fringey QB1, ranked by the source as a top-tier play behind only Jalen Hurts. This recommendation is driven by the Bills' defense, which allows the third-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.PositiveValueOct 13, 2026
Kirk Cousins is a competent streaming option for Week 6, especially against a Buffalo Bills defense allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. He is available in 63% of leagues and should be treated as a C-tier option. The source notes he lacks top-five fantasy upside and is not a priority asset, but suggests a 2-4% FAAB bid if a manager is desperate for a quarterback.
