Kirk Cousins

Kirk Cousins completed 19-of-30 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons’ 38-20, Week 6 win over the Panthers.

Cousins’ stat line looked quiet on a ground-and-pound day for the Falcons. He attempted 30 passes while the Falcons also ran the ball 34 times. Managing the offense consistently, Cousins’ sole touchdown throw was a three-yard pass to Drake London. He may have had another touchdown throw later in the game on a deep shot to Kyle Pitts, where Pitts stopped running and did not make a play on the ball. No turnovers or sacks against a weak Panthers defense for Cousins, though fantasy managers would have liked more scoring. The Falcons play another struggling defense in the Seahawks for Week 7, putting Cousins in the high-end QB2 range.
