Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Tua Tagovailoa

Sunday, October 1, 7:55 PM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 12-of-19 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 21-13 win over the Panthers. Despite getting their first win of the season, Cousins had unfavorable fantasy production as he threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Despite his struggles in this one, the veteran has put up strong numbers in the first month of the season as he is now up to 11 passing touchdowns through four games. Fantasy managers can continue to treat him as a QB1 option in Week 5 against the Chiefs, as the Vikings will likely be airing it out in an attempt to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and company.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 25-of-35 passes for 282 yards, one touchdown and an interception in Week 4's 48-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Tagovailoa was soundly outdueled by Josh Allen as Miami's humming offense was hushed a bit in this battle of two AFC juggernauts. He had a solid 155-yard first half, but Miami's two touchdowns went to De'Von Achane on the ground over the first two quarters. Tagovailoa hit Braxton Berrios on a 11-yard bullet pass near the back of the end zone to strike first out of the second half's gates and salvage an otherwise dissatisfying fantasy day based on Tagovailoa's brilliant start entering Sunday's affair. After absorbing a season-high four sacks with star left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) exiting this one, the 25-year-old signal-caller should see much cleaner pockets in Week 5 versus a nonexistent New York Giants pass rush with two sacks covering three games.
