Why It Matters: Cousins was acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week and it is little surprise that he will move into the starting role immediately, given the Vikings' less-than-stellar quarterback play this season from QBs Carson Wentz and Kyler Murray, the latter of whom has been sidelined with a hamstring injury. Cousins has prior knowledge of the Minnesota playbook from his first tour of duty with the club and experienced success during that stint, so he can be viewed as a QB2 option in all fantasy leagues.
