Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Kyren Williams

Saturday, December 21, 9:10 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins is expected to be released before his $10 million roster bonus is due on March 17, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Cousins signed a hefty four-year, $180 million deal with the Falcons last offseason, but the move hasn't panned out very well for Atlanta. The veteran quarterback has the Falcons at 7-7 and second place in the NFC East. He has completed 66.9 percent of his passes for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns, and a career-high 16 interceptions. Cousins was benched for first-round pick Michael Penix Jr. ahead of Week 16, and with the news that he'll be cut loose next March, it's possible that the veteran signal-caller doesn't register another snap in a Falcons jersey. The 36-year-old's proven track record should help him land a job somewhere else, but he won't get nearly as lucrative of a deal. He likely won't be a shoo-in to start with his next team, either.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams racked up 122 rushing yards and a touchdown on his 23 carries on Sunday and added one catch for seven receiving yards in the road win over the New York Jets in Week 16. He was the focal point of the Rams' offense in the cold in New York and carried the load in the 19-9 road victory. He didn't break any big plays, and his longest run of the day was just 13 yards. However, he continues to post big totals almost every week. He is up to 1,243 rushing yards on the year and 15 total touchdowns in his 15 games this season. Next week, he'll have a good matchup against the Cardinals at home on Saturday night.
