Start Kirk Cousins in a Game With a High Over/Under

The Washington Redskins are 7.5-point underdogs against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints' defense has seemingly done an about-face on defense and have been one to avoid in recent weeks. However, Vegas sees this game as a high-scoring affair.

The total in this contest is 51 points, which is the second-highest total on the slate. Kirk Cousins has excelled in games with high over/unders. In 12 games where the total reached 49 points or higher, Cousins has averaged a monstrous 27.89 fantasy points per game.


Washington games have gone over the total 6 out of 9 times this season, tied for the highest in the NFL.

Cousins is priced at $8,200 on FanDuel, ranking fifth among quarterbacks. His price is still relatively high, but because of the seemingly daunting matchup, he may see low ownership. Cousins is worth targeting in tournaments because of his upside.
