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.

The Minnesota Vikings hope to have starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) back in time to play in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles, which would mean backup Carson Wentz is likely headed back to a reserve role once again. With McCarthy yet to practice, however, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported it's possible the second-year quarterback could be out longer, but cited a league source saying there was "nothing to see here" regarding a change in McCarthy's timeline. The Vikings are on a bye in Week 6, which will give McCarthy another full week of rest before tentatively returning to practice next week. Managers in Superflex leagues with stakes in the Vikings' QB room should be ready to keep up with the injury reports in the lead-up to Week 7.
