Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Tommy DeVito

Saturday, December 6, 11:42 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 234 yards and one touchdown in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, spreading the ball around to seven different receivers, each with at least two targets apiece. The veteran QB now has an unremarkable 3:1 TD:INT in three starts this season, and heads into a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Seahawks. Seattle's defense has yielded just 152.7 yards per game passing over their last three contests (sixth-fewest) and is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs. The game will be played indoors in Atlanta, but with the Falcons missing their top receiver, Drake London (knee), and with an implied team total of just 19 points, they are not expected to find the end zone frequently. It all points to Cousins being a very low-end QB2 for Sunday's showdown.

The New England Patriots claimed quarterback Tommy DeVito off waivers on Wednesday from the New York Giants, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Giants didn't have a need for DeVito any longer after signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and trading up to draft rookie Jaxson Dart in the first round in April. The 27-year-old will now head to the AFC East, where he'll serve as the QB3 behind starter Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs. DeVito went undrafted out of college before joining the Giants and making his NFL debut in 2023, when he started six games. In his two NFL seasons with the G-Men, DeVito has completed 65.3 percent of his 222 pass attempts for 1,358 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He is well off the fantasy radar but could push Dobbs for QB2 duties during the year behind Maye.
