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.
