Quarterback
Kirk Cousins - Las Vegas Raiders $2-$5 FAAB
Kirk Cousins has had a great start to the 2026 campaign. Leading the Raiders to a 3-0 start, Cousins has scored over 20 fantasy points and thrown 3 touchdowns in each game (6-point passing touchdowns). The schedule gets more difficult over the next few weeks with the Chiefs, Patriots, and Bills, but if Kubiak and Cousins can keep their momentum, Cousins could continue to be a reliable starter.
Deshaun Watson - Cleveland Browns $2-$5 FAAB
Deshaun Watson has started the 2026 season looking more like he did when he was in Houston than he has since his move to Cleveland. Watson has been a decent passer this season and has really added much of his value as a rusher. With over 100 rushing yards so far this season, Watson has limited his turnovers and has shown he can be reliable as a passer.
Honorable Mentions
Geno Smith and the New York Jets played well against the Lions on Sunday. If the Jets are without Breece Hall for an extended period of time, expect the Jets to pass the ball a lot more frequently. J.J. McCarthy’s move to the Giants could provide the change of scenery necessary for the young QB to finally thrive in the NFL. Sam Darnold looks to return to the starting lineup for the Seattle Seahawks this week. If you’re in a pinch and Darnold is on the wire, this week’s matchup against the struggling Los Angeles Chargers could provide a lot of scoring opportunities for this offense.
