START
KIRK COUSINS, QUARTERBACK, WASHINGTON REDSKINS
Normally, you shouldn’t go out on a limb with a relatively untested quarterback on a very mediocre team this late in the fantasy season but you should consider making an exception this week. Kirk Cousins put up 381 yards last week against the Falcons, and this week he gets to play against the worst pass defense in all of football in the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas gets torched for 297.4 yards a game. It would be a bold move to start Cousins this week but bold moves win championships.
It would be hard to expect another 381 yard game, but against the Cowboys defense, anything is possible. Be bold! This is a great match up for the young quarterback.
