There were not many quarterbacks who put up the stat line of Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins in Week 3. In a losing effort against the Philadelphia Eagles, he racked up 427 passing yards, three touchdowns, one interception and five rushing yards good for a 103.4 passer rating. He also had a successful run against the Jaguars in Week 2 and is clearly going to be the focal point of coach Jay Gruden's offense.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 4: Kirk Cousins
Kirk Cousins lit up the Eagles in Week 3. Can he keep it going in another divisional game in Week 4?

His team hasn't been moving the ball on the ground much, so look for him to throw the ball more than 35 times against the New York Giants in Week 4. The Giants allowed 25 points to a Drew Stanton-led Arizona Cardinals team and 35 points to Matt Stafford and the Lions, so they've been prone to giving up plenty of points.
The Giants will likely be looking blitz Cousins, so the opportunity to stretch the field will be there. Based on how Washington is running its offense, Cousins is worth a look as a low-end QB1. He should be owned in all leagues, as well.
