Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Bo Nix

Saturday, September 27, 7:46 PM

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Atlanta Falcons have no plans on trading quarterback Kirk Cousins, at least "for now." There are several factors to consider regarding a potential deal involving the signal-caller. He has a no-trade clause. In addition, his hefty contract is something most teams aren't willing (or able) to take on. After Michael Penix Jr. played poorly in the Week 3 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers, some believed Cousins would reclaim his spot as the team's starting quarterback. However, that's not the case, with Penix in line to remain under center. Of course, anything could change. With that said, as long as Cousins isn't starting, he's not worth rostering in any format. On the other hand, his fantasy stock could climb significantly if he gets shipped elsewhere and gets a chance to start. Cousins briefly saw some action in Week 3, throwing for 29 yards off 5-for-7 passing.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown as the Broncos held on for a 13-11 victory against the New York Jets on Sunday in London. The second-year quarterback also added 24 rushing yards on five carries in a game thoroughly dominated by defense. Nix's overall numbers weren't remarkable, but he also didn't commit a turnover as the Denver defense held New York to just 82 total yards and recorded nine sacks. The Broncos have a favorable schedule coming up, with Nix set to take on a Dallas Cowboys defense currently ranked 32nd in net yards per attempt in Week 7.
