QUARTERBACKS Kirk Cousins FD 7200 DK 6400 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 19.59 DK - 20.97 When the hate goes too far: the Kirk Cousins story. Listen - there's a lot of bad things you can say about Kirk Cousins and his NFL resume. He's not an elite "real life" quarterback, and probably won't ever be the QB on a Super Bowl winning team. But for daily fantasy purposes? None of that matters. Cousins is currently priced like a no upside game manager, when the reality is that he leads the NFL in pass attempts, is 3rd in yards, and 11th in completion percentage. He has a dynamic downfield option in Desean Jackson. And... it hasn't all come together yet this season. But the underlying stats with Cousins suggest that much brighter days are ahead. Interceptions are largely correlated with completion percentage, and upside is largely correlated with total yards. While it hasn't played out this way in a small sample in 2016, the Giants allowed the very most passing yards in the NFL in 2015, so I'm not ready to call them world beaters just yet. Cousins has both, and in a bye heavy week, grabbing a QB on a pass heavy offense for $7200 in the game with the 4th highest total can rarely be a bad thing. Matt Ryan FD 8500 DK 7400 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 20.69 DK - 21.7 He could end up on the chalkier side of things considering the matchup. Even though the Saints held the Giants without an offensive touchdown last week, they aren’t exactly any sort of defensive stalwart. In fact, so many things broke right for them last week (still lost) including fumbles, poor Giant play calling and an outright drop for ODB that would have been a touchdown. The Falcons have one of the highest implied totals this week and Ryan isn’t in the upper price tier of signal callers. In what could be a shoot out (we’ve heard that before) Ryan could be looking at close to 40 pass attempts when it’s all said and done. In the first two games this...
