Kirk Cousins

The Atlanta Falcons have decided to bench Kirk Cousins.

Fantasy Impact

It seemed to be only a matter of time. The Falcons ended a four-game losing streak on Monday, but Cousins still didn't play well. He had just one touchdown to eight interceptions in his past five games. Michael Penix Jr. will start the remainder of the season for Atlanta.

Kirk Cousins completed 11-of-17 passing attempts for 112 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Monday's 15-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

Cousins has been struggling recently, and he wasn't able to have any kind of a bounce-back game on Monday. He only had 17 attempts on the night, which left him with just over 100 yards to go with one score and one interception. HC Raheem Morris acknowledged after the game that they need better play at the quarterback position, so it's worth keeping tabs on Cousins' performance over the next couple of weeks.

Kirk Cousins completed 23-of-37 pass attempts for 344 yards and two interceptions in the Falcons' 42-21 Week 14 loss to the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Cousins has struggled behind center of late, throwing one or more interceptions in each of his last four games for the Falcons. The veteran quarterback will look to right the ship in a favorable Week 15 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders next Monday night.

Kirk Cousins completed 24-of-39 passes for 245 yards and four interceptions in the Falcons 17-13 loss against the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact

It was a nightmare game for Cousins, throwing four interceptions with one being brought back for a touchdown. He also threw another pick in the end zone. He'll take on the Vikings next week.

Kirk Cousins completed 18-of-27 passes for 173 yards with an interception in the Falcons 38-6 loss against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

It was a game to forget for Cousins and the entire team in a blowout loss. They head into their bye before taking on the Chargers.
