It will be an upgrade for the Falcons.

I would play Cousins against the Dolphins over all of those guys.

I love Kirk Cousins’ personality. He’s comfortable in his own skin of being kind of nerdy. When Falcons players were asked, “Who is the greatest female athlete of all-time?” Kirk went full historian.

Haha I just remember that the SF league I traded away Penix I drafted Cousins with a 28th round Mr Irrelevant. Might have to start him at QB2 this week.


Oh snap I just traded for Dalton because Goff’s on a BYE, so I’m running out Dalton & Cousins. Feeling like I’m in a Time Machine playing in 2019!

My concern with Cousins this week is Bijon Robinson runs for 400 and 5 TDs and Atlanta only needs to throw the ball 10 times.

But even that he still will get the nod. All he needs is one long dump off to Robinson

That may happen, or it’s over thinking it. Probably a better start than Mac Jones.

I’d give that one a 50/50 shot. But if cousins is 100% physically he might surprise with shots to London & Mooney. Pitts immediately becomes more interesting with the way Kirk leans on his TEs.

Nah. Cousins was a mess in ATL. From what I’ve read he was never 100% healthy.

[The Kerminator]

With London being downgraded to questionable I'm thinking it's gonna be Bijon Robinson all day long.

May finally get some use out of Mooney this week with this news and Cousin's starting

Hell, if I get 15 points from him I’ll be satisfied

He catches the ball too, IIRC. Maybe check my math on that one, but I think it’s a possibility.

Same. Exactly what I’m hoping for. 20 is a bonus. Anything else would be sugar on top.

He was solid against ATL defense which I think is rated higher than KC or at least comprable. Bad matchups in a lot of cases can garnish cheap inflated stats (rushing / cheap TD etc.)

A reason having me reconsider Mac Jones over Cousins. Even though I said I’ll be glad when this week is over and that I didn’t care how many matchups I lose, it’s times like this you can have fun with fantasy football when it’s more challenging.

 

[-OZ-]

I traded Flacco away which leaves my choice between Marriotta and cousins.


What year is it?

I'll wait until tomorrow before game time. If London plays Cousins plays. If London doesn't play then it's decision time. With London playing Cousins has a solid floor. Without London and Miami's sieve-like run defense Cousin's floor is a bit lower than Mac Jones'.

Sounds like a sound plan. Or at least on paper it does. We’ve been bombed back to the stone ages. No more internet. We will be adding stats using the USA Today newspaper.

Schefter:

Falcons Kirk Cousins officially is starting Sunday in place of the injured Michael Penix, per sources. It will mark Cousins first start this season.

It’s going to be that either way.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

gotta nerf the falcons O so its not 30-0 by halftime

 

[travdogg]

I am curious if Cousins plays really well, if Penix gets the alleged "JJ McCarthy treatment" a little. Penix has been pretty bad this season. At 3-3, the Falcons could choose to run with something that gives them a spark.

Good comment. But Cousins' mobility and the run game, which Mina Kimes pointed out last year, was partially responsible for the decision by ATL to go with Penix last year and is something to watch in addition to how he throws the football. Arm strength and running game might be non-stat things to look for.

Arm strength will loosen the box. You'll see the stretch plays and how the defensive line and linebackers are spaced and how they get to the ball carrier out wide in the running game.

I am not perfect and am not awesome with scheme or reasons, but this has been pointed out to me by people who are pretty darn good at it.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Superflex?
Am I right as to why you are lurking in here on a QB that has never looked right since the Achilles injury 2 seasons ago?

 

[Mitchie]

Agree Cousins can take this job but has to really have a good performance and show that last year's poor play was due to not being fully recovered, Penix has looked rather pedestrian, having London out will not help matters though

 

[JohnnyU]

I doubt the Falcons want Cousins to be anymore than what he currently is, a backup. I wonder if the Vikings are in the market for Cousins? I know that contract is hard to move, but never say never I suppose.

 

[Max55]

In Superflex I see Cousins as a lotto ticket that is going to get scratched off today.

He would have to perform really well to start a QB controversy or enhance any trade value but there’s a chance.

Cousins was very good before he injured his shoulder in game 10. 272 ypg, 16 TDs vs 5 INTs. He made Mooney fantasy relevant. Stats per FFI.

 

[WaltonGoggins]

Note for Cousins peeps London is ruled OUT.

I think we can probably put this narrative to bed.

 

[Uncle Leo]

I’m sure Jets will give Kirk a 3 year $100 million contract in 2027. This way Kirk will be at $500 Million earned in the NFL.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Ugly

Ian Hartitz
Kirk Cousins looking very bit of 37 years old. Can't move, missed a wide open Darnell Mooney for a first down with potential for more over the middle, struggling to move, not showing any ability to stretch the field, really doesn't seem capable of moving, and really can't move.

Warren Sharp
today was a great reminder why Kirk Cousins is the greatest bag getter in the history of NFL bag getters

$27,500,000 in cash this year

$321,692,254 career earnings

ONE (1) career playoff win
