Kirk Cousins fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 6 (2024). Should you start or sit Kirk Cousins for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB15
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins is coming off one of the top games of his career. The veteran was the top fantasy football quarterback in Week 5, totaling 35.4 fantasy points. He completed 72.4% of his 58 pass attempts for 509 yards and four touchdowns in the overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cousins is the QB13 for the year, averaging 15.3 fantasy points per game. While he is coming off an outstanding performance, fantasy players should temper their expectations. The veteran quarterback scored fewer than 11.2 fantasy points in three of his first four contests this season.
While the RotoBaller rankings have Cousins as the QB15, he is a top-10 guy for me in Week 6. The veteran faces a Carolina Panthers defense that has surrendered 18.6 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, the sixth-most in the NFL. Last week, Caleb Williams had 304 passing yards, two touchdowns, and 23.6 fantasy points against this awful defense.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
