Kirk Cousins last three games have been quite a roller coaster ride, as he has gone from torching the Eagles to slumping against the Giants to showing a surprising amount of fight against the Seahawks. How should Fantasy owners approach him in Week 6's matchup between the Redskins and Cardinals?
Arizona's defense has surrendered 19-plus Fantasy points to each of their last three quarterback opponents, and could be missing some key players. Cornerback Patrick Peterson is dealing with an ankle sprain and could be limited, while defensive lineman Calais Campbell is dealing with a knee injury that is likely to keep him out. The Cardinals are one of the league's toughest teams to run the ball against, so Washington might end up having to throw the ball against them; if they are shorthanded, that only helps his chances.
Cousins is obviously tough to rely on at this point, with how up-and-down he has been. Still, his performance against Seattle should give you enough hope to consider him a worthy No. 2 Fantasy quarterback in Week 6.
