Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Daniel Jones

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.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 212 yards and two touchdowns while adding a third touchdown on the ground in a Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Jones' bounce-back season has been one of the best stories in the NFL this year as he has now thrown for 1,502 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding four rushing scores. He will now head on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7 as he looks to stay hot. The Chargers have been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing the 25th-most fantasy points per game to the position through six games. That being said, the Colts and Jones in particular have been too good this season to fade due to a difficult matchup. Jones sets up as a top-12 fantasy QB heading into Week 7's games.
