5 years agoMinnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins looks to be a decent QB2 option in Week 5. The Vikings will face off with the New York Giants on the road as 4.5-point favorites, so there's a good chance that Cousins will need to throw as long as it stays a close contest. He hasn't played well in 2019 and is coming off a brutal outing against the Chicago Bears, but the lowly Giants Defense currently ranks just 30th in pass rush and 29th in pass coverage (according to PFF). Both Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs have extremely winnable matchups. The Vikings remain a run-first offense, which caps Cousins' upside, but he can be started as a QB2 and bye-week streamer.--Kyle Ringstad - RotoBaller
