Kirk Cousins News
Tuesday, November 10, 9:49 AM
The Las Vegas Raiders are trading four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday for their 2027 third-round pick, sources told Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Cousins will now return to Minnesota for their playoff push, while the Raiders will now turn to No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza for the rest of the 2026 season and beyond. Kyler Murray (hamstring) is sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, and veteran Carson Wentz looked awful in Monday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills, so the Vikings are turning to a man they know very well to help their offense turn things around. The 38-year-old Cousins was performing admirably for the Raiders up until his three-interception performance in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Going into Week 10, Cousins ranks as the overall QB5 with 2,340 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in nine starts. Only Joe Burrow has thrown more TD passes than him. In Minnesota, Cousins will have QB1 upside in the right matchups, with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as his top two receivers in a familiar environment. The acquisition of Cousins should also be great news for Jefferson, whose value had tanked with Murray and Wentz under center in Minnesota.

Ty Simpson News
Saturday, October 3, 6:28 PM
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Ty Simpson entered the season with very little redraft value, and he continues to slip down the rankings as the season goes on. Any value that Simpson had prior to the season was driven by his role on the depth chart, as many people expected him to be the backup quarterback and the insurance option behind Matthew Stafford. Instead, Simpson has been inactive as the emergency third quarterback, which means he wouldn't see the field even if Stafford were to get injured. Instead, the backup duties belong to Stetson Bennett, who has more experience in the Rams' system. As a first-round pick, Simpson still has plenty of dynasty appeal, but any glimmer of redraft value is slipping away as long as Simpson remains inactive.
