Outlook Kirk Cousins

Kirk Cousins at San Francisco — High-Scoring Potential on the Road

Kirk Cousins silenced outside noise by leading Las Vegas to a win over the Jets, throwing for three touchdowns while head coach Klint Kubiak reaffirmed him as the unquestioned starter. The veteran signal-caller enters Week 9 leading the NFL with 19 passing touchdowns while leaning heavily on Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker.

Facing the 6-1 49ers on the road, Cousins should see plenty of passing volume as significant underdogs in a game with a high 51.5 over/under. Our weekly projections slate him for roughly 250 passing yards and nearly two touchdowns (16.6 fantasy points), cementing him as an appealing streaming option and quality QB2.
