Kirk Cousins News
Friday, November 13, 12:07 PM
Quarterback Kirk Cousins' return to Minnesota not only brought new life to the Vikings, but it also created some additional fantasy potential for Cousins ahead of a Week 10 game at Green Bay. Following a trade from Las Vegas, the veteran quarterback steps into a different situation, albeit one in which he is already familiar with his top three pass catchers, both offensive tackles, and his head coach. Cousins threw for a career high in yards while playing in Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell's system in 2022, and nobody has completed more passes to superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson than Cousins. Returning to an offense with some high-end wide receiver talent should give the 38-year-old QB some steady fantasy appeal, including this week against a solid Packers defense that ranks eighth against fantasy quarterbacks. As RotoBaller's No. 14 quarterback this week, Cousins is a surefire Superflex option and even a possible starter in one-QB formats despite the challenging matchup.

Deshaun Watson News
Wednesday, November 11, 4:13 AM
The Cleveland Browns will start quarterback Deshaun Watson in Week 10 against the Houston Texans, according to Mary Kay Cabot. Watson suffered a concussion in Week 8's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, prompting second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders to start in Week 9. Sanders completed 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions, and added 28 rushing yards on 10 carries. Although the Browns lost in overtime to the New Orleans Saints, speculation around the league suggested the team would roll with Sanders for the foreseeable future. However, the Browns will continue to start Watson, who has had a bounce-back season in 2026. In eight games, he has completed 163 of 249 passes for 1,806 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions, while adding 217 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Fantasy managers should still view Watson as a low-end QB2, while the rest of the offense should retain their value.
