Kirk Cousins Attempts 52 Passes as Raiders Come Up Short

Sunday, October 4, 9:01 PM

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 31 of his 52 pass attempts for 365 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 4 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also finished the game without being sacked. It was a very impressive performance from the veteran quarterback, with the lone blemish being the interception. Vegas came up just three points short of the Chiefs in this battle of unbeaten teams, putting Kansas City in sole possession of first place in the AFC West for now. Not only has Cousins been able to support consistent fantasy production from players like Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty, but he also has fantasy value of his own, racking up 11 touchdowns through four weeks. He's a sneaky low-end QB1 option heading into Week 5 against the New England Patriots.

Malik Willis Is Only an Option in the Deepest Leagues

Saturday, October 3, 2:51 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis is in a tough road matchup this week against the Minnesota Vikings, and he'll be without star RB De'Von Achane (knee) and starting receiver Caleb Douglas (ankle). Willis has only thrown one touchdown in his three games this season, while averaging 209 passing yards per game and completing 57% of his passes. He has added some value on the ground, running for 101 yards and another touchdown in three games, but the Dolphins' offense ranks last in the NFL in points per game and sixth-worst in yards per game. Without Achane, Willis may have to run more and could carry enough value to be a fringe starter in two-QB leagues in some matchups this season. Week 4's matchup against the Vikings is a very tough one, though, so he ranks 29th in RotoBaller's QB rankings for Week 4. He should be left on the bench if possible this week and only started in desperation, even in leagues that require multiple QBs.
