Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option In Week 3

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to bounce back in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions after an abysmal game on Monday night. Cousins threw three interceptions and finished with 221 yards and a touchdown, limiting his output to just 8.8 fantasy points. The veteran is in a great spot to put up strong numbers, as the Lions have given up 65 points through just two games this season. Carson Wentz threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns against them in Week 2, so this is an exploitable secondary for the Minnesota offense. Fantasy managers can treat Cousins as a low-end QB1 in a plus matchup.
