5 years agoMinnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins proved legions of doubters wrong in a thrilling 26-20 overtime win in the wild-card round over the New Orleans Saints. However, he finished with underwhelming fantasy numbers, as he threw for just 242 yards and one touchdown in the victory. Saturday's Divisional Round matchup won't prove to be any easier. The San Francisco 49ers Defense ranks in the top three in yards allowed per attempt, pass DVOA and passing yards allowed per game and rank 10th in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. They're also expected to get starters back from injury at all three levels of the defense. Wide receivers Adam Thielen (ankle) and Stefon Diggs (illness) are projected to play, but this defense has been a top unit all year and passing volume remains a concern in the Vikings run-heavy scheme. Cousins is not a recommended cash-game option in DFS and he should only be employed as a dart-throw contrarian play in large-field tournaments.--Kyle Ringstad - RotoBaller
