Kirk Cousins News
Friday, October 30, 1:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins remains a strong weekly fantasy play as his team prepares to face the host New York Jets. The 38-year-old completed just 59% of his passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Vegas' fourth straight defeat. Still, head coach Klint Kubiak maintains that Cousins is the Raiders' de facto starter, as the veteran leads the league with 16 touchdown passes. Plus, Cousins' 1,877 passing yards through seven games rank third behind only Rams QB Matthew Stafford and Packers starter Jordan Love. The Week 8 matchup will be interesting: the Jets' defense has allowed just 187.7 average passing yards per game, but it also allowed Drake Maye and Malik Willis to pass for over 200 yards over the last two games. Cousins is a solid QB2 for Week 8.

Russell Wilson News
Wednesday, June 3, 3:25 PM
Quarterback Russell Wilson is announcing his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Wilson will end his playing career to join The NFL Today on CBS Sports for the upcoming 2026 season. The 37-year-old was named a Pro Bowler 10 times in his 14-year career and came away with one Super Bowl ring after the Seattle Seahawks took him with the 75th overall pick in the third round in 2012 out of the University of Wisconsin. Despite his size (5-foot-11, 206 pounds), Wilson quickly became one of the most dangerous dual-threat signal-callers in the league over the last decade-plus thanks to his scrambling ability and strong arm deep down the field. Mr. Unlimited will finish his outstanding career with 46,966 passing yards, 353 touchdowns, and 114 interceptions over 205 regular-season games with the Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, and New York Giants. Wilson spent the vast majority of his career (10 seasons) in Seattle, and he finished out with only six games played (three starts) in 2025 with the Giants before he was benched for rookie Jaxson Dart.
