Kirk Cousins News
Sunday, November 15, 4:19 AM
The Minnesota Vikings and quarterback Kirk Cousins discussed the possibility of him remaining with the team in 2027 prior to Tuesday's trade being finalized, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Vikings gave the Raiders a third-round pick in exchange for the opportunity to bring Cousins back to Minnesota as their starter. He's a free agent after this year, but unlike the last time he hit the open market, it sounds like the Vikings will try to bring him back. "Team brass placed a call to agent Mike McCartney, who has represented Cousins for his entire career," Rapoport wrote. "The message delivered in the short conversation was this: The Vikings would like for Cousins' return to Minnesota to be more than a one-year rental." Cousins should offer an immediate boost to the Vikings, who watched Kyler Murray (hamstring) suffer a multi-week injury and limped to the finish line of Monday Night Football in Week 9 with Carson Wentz as their starter. Cousins represents a healthy and productive alternative after racking up 2,340 passing yards, 22 total touchdowns, and eight turnovers across nine games with the Raiders this year. From a fantasy perspective, Cousins should maintain his fringe top-12 quarterback status while throwing to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison (thumb).

Cam Ward News
Friday, November 13, 3:15 PM
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward enters Week 10 coming off easily his best performance of the season, and quite possibly his career, completing 26 of 40 passes for a career-high 304 yards and two touchdowns against Cincinnati before the bye. Ward also added a career-high 41 rushing yards, becoming the first Titans quarterback with 300 passing yards and 40 rushing yards in a game since Marcus Mariota in 2018. It was an encouraging step forward after an inconsistent first half of the season, but Ward is still averaging just 185 passing yards per game with six touchdowns and five interceptions through eight starts. Jacksonville presents a much tougher challenge than Cincinnati. The Jaguars have allowed only eight passing touchdowns against 11 interceptions, the third-best mark in the NFL, and also rank second in points allowed. They have been more vulnerable in terms of yardage, giving up 229 passing yards per game, but opposing quarterbacks are averaging just 13.9 fantasy points per game against them in standard scoring due to their ability to keep folks out of the end zone. Ward's encouraging performance before the bye gives him a tinge of upside, but this is not the matchup to chase last week's breakout. He remains a lower-end QB2 in Superflex formats and should stay on the bench in standard one-quarterback leagues
