Kirk Cousins News
Friday, September 18, 1:24 PM
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins will be challenged to keep the winning momentum going as he faces a sturdy Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 2. The veteran play caller was solid in his debut with the Silver and Black, completing 21 of 30 passes for 160 yards with three touchdowns in a 27-13 win against the Miami Dolphins, though he also threw two interceptions. The Chargers allowed 277 passing yards in a Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but ranked fifth in the league in 2025 with just 179.9 passing yards allowed per game. Cousins got away with making a lot of short passes to running back Ashton Jeanty against Miami, but will need to utilize Vegas' young receiving corps to succeed on the road against the Bolts. The four-time Pro Bowl selection remains too risky to start in standard redraft leagues but has deep-league fantasy potential, and a strong performance against a good Chargers defense could raise his value.

Jaxson Dart News
Monday, September 14, 6:14 AM
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 23 of 29 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns, and added 54 yards on 11 carries in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Despite concerns about Dallas' improved defense and the Giants' run-heavy offense, Dart was surgical in Week 1. Dart ranks second in the NFL in completion percentage (79.3%), second in passer rating (134.2), and second among quarterbacks in rushing yards through Week 1. With Malik Nabers (knee) active and tight end Isaiah Likely producing elite numbers in Week 1, Dart has the best supporting cast of his career and is maintaining an elite rushing floor. Moving forward, Dart is a mid-tier QB1 and appears to be a breakout candidate to watch this season.
