Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Lamar Jackson

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.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned from a three-game absence and picked apart the Miami Dolphins for four touchdowns through the air with a 78.3 completion percentage. He'll have a tougher task ahead of him in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. They're around the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs, with an average of 16.62 per game. Over the last three weeks, however, the Vikings have given up 19 or more fantasy points in each game. Jackson is already a must-start, and should continue to roll while the offense is the healthiest it's been all season.
