Kirk Cousins "Staying Put for Now"

Saturday, September 27, 7:46 PM

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.

Patrick Mahomes Explodes for Four Touchdowns on SNF

Monday, October 13, 12:50 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 22 of his 30 pass attempts for 257 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday night's win over the Detroit Lions. He also rushed for an additional 32 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The veteran quarterback had a very productive evening in terms of moving the football and scoring points, now tallying 10 total touchdowns and just one turnover over his last three games. Most importantly, the 30-year-old seems to have found a nice rhythm under center, scoring at least 29 fantasy points in each of those three contests. He'll remain a high-end QB1 for Week 7 against the Raiders.
