Cousins needs to get some pass blockers back to face the Seattle Seahawks’ vicious defense. The Seahawks have eight interceptions and allowed just nine passing touchdowns to opponents this season. They also have 17 sacks this season. Five of Washington’s starting offensive linemen are on the injury report heading into Week 9.
Fantasy impact: Cousins could be at the Legion of Boom’s mercy on Sunday working behind a patchwork offensive line. Cousins has been sacked four times in back-to-back weeks. Now he faces another strong defense with limited help. Cousins may or may not have a big passing game, but he is bound to have a lot of turnovers this week.
