Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Quinn Ewers

Saturday, December 20, 11:09 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins had his best game of the season by far last week in a 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, completing 30 of 44 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. The 37-year-old focused his attention on his top pass catchers, and should get another weapon back in Week 16, with Drake London (knee) expected to suit up on Sunday. The veteran should have a full complement on offense for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals, a defense that is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, but that has yielded 35 points per game over their last three games, which is nearly the worst in the league over that stretch behind only the Cowboys and Jets (35.3). Even so, with a strong run game to lean on in the form of Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, Cousins projects as a low-end QB2 for this week's contest.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers finished with 260 passing yards, two interceptions, and no touchdowns in his first NFL start on Sunday against the Bengals. The seventh-round pick out of Texas started strong, completing 10 of 12 passes in the first half and leading two scoring drives in the first half. In the second half, though, the Dolphins fell apart and allowed 28 unanswered points, while Ewers threw a pair of interceptions. He is still in search of his first NFL touchdown, but he's expected to get another start in Week 17 when the Dolphins host the Buccaneers. The Dolphins seem ready to move on from Tua Tagovailoa, so Ewers will likely get an extended audition the rest of the season.
