Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 32-of-50 passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns in the team's 28-24 loss versus the Chargers in Week 3. Despite the team's 0-3 start to the season, Cousins has been putting up some solid efforts for fantasy managers as he has benefited greatly from the pass-heavy offense. The veteran has averaged 46 pass attempts through three games, which will keep him a borderline must-start QB1 option moving forward. Cousins will look to lead the Vikings to their first win in Week 4 when they take on the Carolina Panthers on the road.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) exited the Week 3 game against the Green Bay Packers with a shoulder injury. According to Katherine Terrell, Carr has an AC joint sprain and is considered week to week. The 32-year-old signal-caller has completed over 65% of his passes for 636 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions this year and looked to be headed toward a third straight win to begin his New Orleans career. The team blew a 17-0 lead after his exit. In his absence, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston will start for New Orleans. He has upside with a supporting cast of Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, Rashid Shaheed, Juwan Johnson, and Alvin Kamara (returns in Week 4), but the Saints will likely be unwilling to let him throw a ton of passes thanks to his well-documented turnover issues. Expect the Saints to lean on its running backs and defense while Carr is sidelined.
