Week 8
Quarterback
Kirk Cousins vs. Dallas Cowboys $32
Analysis: The Redskins are finally starting to figure out they should put their best players on the field more, playing Vernon Davis and Chris Thompson more than ever. That means more passing for the Redskins who have the third highest yards per attempt in the league so far this season. Dallas ranks 20th in DVOA against the pass this season and the 11th most fantasy points per game, so in a game that figures to see both teams put up plenty of points, it’s not a bad idea to target Cousins as the cheapest of the good quarterbacks this week.
