Kirk Cousins News
Friday, November 13, 12:07 PM
Quarterback Kirk Cousins' return to Minnesota not only brought new life to the Vikings, but it also created some additional fantasy potential for Cousins ahead of a Week 10 game at Green Bay. Following a trade from Las Vegas, the veteran quarterback steps into a different situation, albeit one in which he is already familiar with his top three pass catchers, both offensive tackles, and his head coach. Cousins threw for a career high in yards while playing in Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell's system in 2022, and nobody has completed more passes to superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson than Cousins. Returning to an offense with some high-end wide receiver talent should give the 38-year-old QB some steady fantasy appeal, including this week against a solid Packers defense that ranks eighth against fantasy quarterbacks. As RotoBaller's No. 14 quarterback this week, Cousins is a surefire Superflex option and even a possible starter in one-QB formats despite the challenging matchup.

Lamar Jackson News
Saturday, November 14, 4:18 AM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (thumb) has a chance to return later this season after undergoing surgery on his thumb last week, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jackson has been given a 6-10 week recovery timeline. If the star quarterback makes it back on the shorter end of that timeline, a Week 15 or Week 16 return could be in play. If it takes Jackson the full 10 weeks, he would likely remain out through the end of the fantasy playoffs. Jackson remained highly productive when healthy this season, throwing for 967 yards and six touchdowns and rushing for 144 yards and a touchdown while playing just three full games. Fantasy managers may want to consider stashing him in a bench or an IR spot, but there's definitely a risk that he does not return in time to impact fantasy leagues. With Jackson sidelined, veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett will take over under center for Baltimore.
