Kirk Cousins-Washington Redskins (25.0%)

Cousins had a huge game this week against the Bills this week and has emerged as a solid QB this season despite all the noise and debate around coach Jay Gruen, RG3, and the decision to go with Cousins.

In his last eight games, Cousins has limited his interceptions throwing only three picks while throwing for 16 touchdowns and adding three rushing touchdowns as well. Cousins has enjoyed getting his biggest deep threat DeSean Jackson back and also has made a fantasy star of oft-injured Jordan Reed at TE.

Washington finishes up the season with a pair of winnable games that would propel them to the playoffs. This Saturday night they go on the road to take on the Eagles in a big game and finish with a game in Dallas in the final week of the season.
