Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins surprised many with an extremely impressive performance in Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills.
Fantasy football waiver wire, Week 16: Kirk Cousins humiliates Bills with 5 touchdowns
Kirk Cousins put up huge numbers in Week 15. We take a look at the fantasy implications.

Cousins completed 22 of 28 passes for 319 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed for a 13-yard touchdown. Cousins simply couldn't be stopped by the Bills, who were without cornerback Stephon Gilmore on Sunday.
Receivers DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, and tight end Jordan Reed all found the end zone at least once each. Washington will head to Philadelphia to face the Eagles in Week 16.
Fantasy impact: As impressive as Cousins was on Sunday, he has a disturbing tendency to fall short while on the road. Nine of Cousins’ 11 interceptions this season have been on the road. He has yet to throw for more than one touchdown in any of his road games.
He’ll be a tempting streamer for fantasy owners in need of help during Week 16. Fantasy owners should keep expectations in check considering his pattern of performance this season. He’s more of a fringe-QB1 option in what will be the most important week of the season for fantasy owners.
