Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Jaxson Dart

Friday, October 31, 11:35 AM

The Athletic's Josh Kendall reports that the Atlanta Falcons have yet to have "any serious trade discussions with another team," regarding quarterback Kirk Cousins ahead of next Tuesday's trade deadline. Cousins has been the speculation of quarterback-needy teams, although his recent performance in a blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins likely didn't help his case. As it stands, Atlanta is likely to hold both the veteran and second-year pro Michael Penix Jr. (knee). However, Kendall notes that doesn't mean Cousins is a long-term fit for the team. He figures to resume backup duties behind Penix Jr. once the latter is fully recovered from his knee injury. That's likely to change following the 2025 season.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart remains a high-floor fantasy option for the Week 10 road matchup against the Chicago Bears due to his elite rushing production, despite a limited receiving corps. Currently the 17th-ranked fantasy QB, Dart averages a solid 18.48 fantasy points per game, significantly buoyed by his impressive five rushing touchdowns on the season. This week's opponent, the Bears, presents an appealing matchup for dual-threat quarterbacks, as they are the 26th-ranked fantasy defense against QBs, allowing an average of 19.66 points per game. Furthermore, Chicago's pass defense has been susceptible, allowing an average of 237.6 passing yards and 20 passing touchdowns through eight games, confirming Dart as a strong QB1 with significant upside.
