5 years agoMinnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins could be a sneaky play in Week 1, squaring off at home against an Atlanta Falcons Defense that was obliterated in 2018. The Falcons defense finished 27th in passing yards allowed per game, which translated to them being the fourth most-favorable matchup for opposing fantasy quarterbacks. They return a few starters (Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen), but until they prove otherwise, this is a unit that can be thrown on. The Vikings may be looking to feature the run more this season, with a healthy Dalvin Cook and an improved offensive line, but stud wideouts Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs will demand touches as well and Cousins will be happy to oblige. Cousins should be viewed as a high-end QB2 in this advantageous matchup, and he is absolutely worth a long look as a cheap option in daily formats.--Kyle Ringstad - RotoBaller
