Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em: Week 5

Cousins is coming off of one of the worst fantasy QB performances in 2014 with 5 total turnovers. He was under pressure, made awful decisions, had no run game, and just wasn’t ready to go, like the rest of the Redskins, on Thursday Night Football last week.
Overall, I like him as a decent fantasy QB going forward, but in Week 5, he goes up against the best defense in football, the Seattle Seahawks.
Consider Cousins a last-resort starting QB for Week 5.
Surprisingly, the Seahawks have allowed the 7th most points to QBs in terms of fantasy, but they have gone against some of the leagues top QBs already through their first three games (had their bye Week 4). They have already went up against Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, and Phillip Rivers.
The Seahawks are coming off their bye week which means they have had two weeks to prepare for the Redskins and they should tear them apart in Week 5. I would avoid all Redskins, if possible.
Consider Cousins a last-resort starting QB for Week 5.
