Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Lamar Jackson

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Atlanta Falcons have no plans on trading quarterback Kirk Cousins, at least "for now." There are several factors to consider regarding a potential deal involving the signal-caller. He has a no-trade clause. In addition, his hefty contract is something most teams aren't willing (or able) to take on. After Michael Penix Jr. played poorly in the Week 3 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers, some believed Cousins would reclaim his spot as the team's starting quarterback. However, that's not the case, with Penix in line to remain under center. Of course, anything could change. With that said, as long as Cousins isn't starting, he's not worth rostering in any format. On the other hand, his fantasy stock could climb significantly if he gets shipped elsewhere and gets a chance to start. Cousins briefly saw some action in Week 3, throwing for 29 yards off 5-for-7 passing.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has seen consistent involvement to start the 2025 season. Through six games, he's logged 15 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown, while adding 18 receptions for 144 yards and another score. Hill and Derrick Henry have operated in a near-even timeshare, with Henry playing 54% of snaps and Hill at 45%. However, with Lamar Jackson returning to the lineup, that balance could shift. In Baltimore's five losses in 2024, Henry has averaged 14.8 carries per game, compared to 20.9 carries in their wins. Hill is heavily used as a receiver in this Ravens' offense, so when the Ravens lead games, they rely on their 6'3, 250-pound running back to take over. With a healthier roster and a favorable upcoming schedule, expect Hill's usage and snap share to decline as the Ravens put more on Henry's plate.
