Raiders' Kirk Cousins gets a boost after being benched against Patriots
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins has an opportunity against the Buffalo Bills.
Kirk Cousins, the veteran quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, has received a boost after being benched by the team during their game against the New England Patriots. The Raiders benching of Cousins was not merely punitive, but rather a strategic move to provide rookie Fernando Mendoza an opportunity to take the field. However, the news is not all gloomy for Cousins.
Week 6 brings a chance for the veteran to bounce back and showcase his skills. According to USA Today's analysis of fantasy football risers and sleepers, Cousins ranks as fantasy's QB6. Throughout the five-week period, he has consistently performed well, throwing for multiple touchdowns in four out of five games and surpassing 240 yards in all but one.
Looking ahead, Cousins will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. The Bills have been a strong performer in fantasy football, ranking fourth in points scored against opposing quarterbacks. However, the Raiders are aware of this and expect a competitive game. The Bills have a solid record of 4-1 so far this season, but the Raiders also aim to secure their third win of the season.
