Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Tre' Harris

Thursday, December 11, 11:57 PM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 30 of his 44 pass attempts for 373 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 15 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also took one sack and recovered his own fumble. Cousins led five scoring drives on Thursday, including the game-winner with less than two minutes left to play. The veteran quarterback shook off the old narrative that he's incapable of thriving in the primetime slot, and in doing so, he kicked off his candidacy for the top-scoring fantasy quarterback in Week 15. It's unlikely that many managers started Cousins in the first week of the fantasy playoffs, but his big game could be enough to justify deploying him as a fringe top-12 fantasy option heading into a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals next week.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris took advantage of Quentin Johnston's absence in the team's 16-13 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, catching three passes for 49 yards on five targets while reaching a season-high 82% route participation and a 19% target share. Harris made his most notable impact late in the first half with a 37-yard catch that set up the Chargers' only touchdown, and his increased usage was evident in a low-volume passing game. Week 16 presents a prime matchup against a Dallas Cowboys secondary that ranks last in passing yards and touchdowns allowed. Harris' fantasy value depends on Johnston's health, but if his role remains elevated, he could serve as a deep-league flex or DFS punt with upside in a favorable matchup.
