I have Stroud and have not been impressed lately. Plus Diggs is probably out this short week, and they play the Jets so the matchup is not one I am comfortable with at all. Regular QB scoring (4 for TD passes, 6 for TD runs, 1 point for every 25 yards passing).

Who would you stream as they are all on waivers in my 10 team league.

Cousins and Darnold are pure passing players, where Nix and Williams offer running upside. All matches on paper are actually good.
 
I would rank them this way:
  1. Cousins - Offense is playing well and he is throwing TD's. Dallas can't stop anyone
  2. Darnold - Sunday night gives you something to root for
  3. Nix - playing well
  4. Caleb - lowest floor of all of them.
 
I figured it would be between Cousins and Darnold. Cousins can be spotty but has the higher upside...Darnold I feel has the safer floor...
 
Appreciate it buddy! Anyone else?
I'm going NIX. You have some good options. NIX has been QB3 the last 3 weeks. BAL is a very friendly QB Def. So you've got a QB playing WELL AND a favorable Matchup AND Rush opportunities and he's done well vs decent opponents.

ATL vs DAL If Cousins and ATL get up they can just hand the ball off to Bijan and Allgeier. Game Script could hurt you there.
CHI vs? AZ. Williams is too inconsistent to trust for me. Which would you regret more: Starting STROUD and losing. Starting Williams and Losing...but could've won with stroud?
Darnold lost Darrishaw in OL in the last game. He's done OK but I think more tape is coming out on him and teams are adjusting. I don't know much about IND. If Flacco is starting that's probably better for sustained drives vs Richardson. How's IND DEF? I haven't researched.

One of the things to monitor with STROUD is the cross Blitz schemes that he had trouble with last week. He struggled to recognize the reads. Other teams will pick up on this in film an disguise coverages and blitzes better.

DEN lacks a clear Top WR option. Bix is still producing.
Stroud is ranked QB20 by another rankings site. Cousins QB6, Darnold QB8, BNix QB15. Nix has a 4star matchup. Darnold 5 star. Cousins 4 star in standard scoring. Oh Caleb Williams is QB12 with 3 star.

I think some of these ratings are just data complied. There are articles today about NIX playing well and why. And some of the others.
My vote would be Nix over Stroud. I don't blame you for going Cousins or Darnold either. I'd be surprised by Williams.

Tank Dell and Dalton Shultz will get more targets. I think Mixon is the RB there too. I forget when NICO comes back but that's something you'll want to monitor.

Good luck.
 
I’m definitely not dropping Stroud, when Nico gets back it’ll be him and Dell like last year and they did fine just them two. I still don’t like him over cousins or darnold this week though.

Colts benching AR for Flacco. Colts could score more and force Darnold to throw more often now maybe. Colts defense gives up points and Flacco keeps the back and forth going with his ability to produce.

I think I’m rolling Darnold here.
 
I'd go Cousins at home in the dome against a very average Dallas D
Darnold would be my second choice
see my post please
