Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Bo Nix

Thursday, December 11, 11:57 PM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 30 of his 44 pass attempts for 373 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 15 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also took one sack and recovered his own fumble. Cousins led five scoring drives on Thursday, including the game-winner with less than two minutes left to play. The veteran quarterback shook off the old narrative that he's incapable of thriving in the primetime slot, and in doing so, he kicked off his candidacy for the top-scoring fantasy quarterback in Week 15. It's unlikely that many managers started Cousins in the first week of the fantasy playoffs, but his big game could be enough to justify deploying him as a fringe top-12 fantasy option heading into a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals next week.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will host the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 for the first round of fantasy playoffs. The Packers enter Week 15 as the fifth-best defense in the NFL, averaging just 287.2 yards per game. It's been tough sledding for the Broncos this year in defensive matchups, and with Nix scoring just two touchdowns through the air along with three interceptions in the past four games, it will be hard to have faith that Nix will match some of the best quarterbacks in playoff matchups. While Nix has been a solid quarterback for the Broncos and is looking to lead them to their 11th straight win, Nix is RotoBaller's QB18 for Week 15.
