Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins heads into a tough meeting with the Minnesota Vikings, as the status of most of his offensive line is up in the air. Lucky for Cousins, several of the O-line starters did return to practice this week in time to face the third-best defense in the league. The Vikings have shut down opposing QBs all season with 24 sacks and seven interceptions against the position. They have only allowed eight passing touchdowns to QBs this season.
Fantasy football Week 10: Start or sit Kirk Cousins Sunday?
Offensive line woes leave Cousins vulnerable against Minnesota in Week 10. We break down the fantasy impact.

Cousins was sacked six times in the Week 9 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He finished the contest with 21 completions for 247 yards on 31 attempts. Sunday was Cousins’ first week without a touchdown this season.
Fantasy impact: Cousins gets some starters back on his offensive line this week; however, they are far from 100 percent. That is not ideal against the Vikings who have an excellent defense all around. Cousins is missing a number of receivers due to injury as well. He has a lot of handicaps coming into an unfavorable matchup. It would be wise to shy away from Cousins this week.
