SIT ‘EM – QB

60. . Quarterback. Vikings. Kirk Cousins. 1. player

Kirk Cousins hasn’t been what many expected him to be when he signed with the Vikings and he’s the featured Sit ‘Em at quarterback for the final week of the season.

Cousins and his Vikings squad still have a lot to play for this week, meaning they’ll be on their A-game, but the problem is that the team on the other side of the field has a lot to play for still too. That team is the Bears, who could still get the two-seed in the NFC and get that first round bye.

The Bears defense smothered Cousins when the two met last month, holding him to 262 yards and picking him off twice. Cousins did have two touchdowns in that game, but for the most part, struggled against a very good Chicago D.

I’d keep Kirk Cousins on the bench this week, as the match-up does not favor him at all.
