Kirk Cousins, QB, Washington Redskins
21 for 30, 375 Yards, 3 Touchdowns
4 Rushes, 4 Yards
Performance: 99, NEP: +28.78

In a wild Sunday night shootout, points were flying on the board nearly as fast as the wind in Washington, with Washington finishing in a 42-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Cousins played a fantastic game, finishing 21 of 30 for 375 passing yards and 3 touchdowns.

Wind was a major factor in this matchup, forcing both quarterbacks to throw in difficult conditions. Cousins was able to fight through it and complete 70 percent of his dropbacks, making some spectacular plays in the process. He was hitting receivers at varying depths, nearly doubling Aaron Rodgers's average depth of target (aDOT) -- 10.7 to Rodgers' 5.7. Cousins now ranks third among all quarterbacks in Passing NEP, with only Drew Brees having more passes deemed "successes" -- those that contribute positively to a NEP.

Cousins finished as the fantasy QB3 for Week 11. He now has finished five five weeks as a top-12 fantasy performer in 2016.
