Kirk Cousins at Chargers — Low-Ceiling Option in Divisional Road Matchup

Cousins guided Las Vegas to a Week 1 victory with three touchdown passes, though two interceptions and conservative downfield attempts highlighted potential weekly volatility. He now heads on the road as an underdog against the Chargers, while top receiving option Brock Bowers deals with a knee injury that kept him out of practice.

Our models project Cousins for roughly 202 passing yards, 1.4 passing scores, and one interception (12.2 fantasy points). With negligible rushing production and rostered in just over 5% of leagues, fantasy managers in standard formats should keep him on the bench.
