8. Taylor Heinicke at Atlanta

The Atlanta Falcons were able to get the victory this past weekend, going up against an NFC East opponent in the New York Giants. This weekend, they will have to battle it out against the NFC East once again, and they could be in trouble against a tough Washington Football Team defense, and their quarterback, Taylor Heinicke.

While Heinicke is not one you should start every weekend, this is a favorable matchup for him against one of the worst defenses in all of football. He was able to toss two touchdowns last weekend at Buffalo, his second straight game two TD passes. Atlanta has struggled mightily this season, and this is a favorable matchup for Heinicke and this WFT offense.

7. Kirk Cousins vs. Cleveland

There is going to come a time this season where putting Kirk Cousins as a sleeper QB play in fantasy will be history. Cousins has been outstanding for the Minnesota Vikings this season, has a ton of weapons and could end up having a big day against a Cleveland defense that has looked very good the past two weeks.

Do not let that make you think twice about starting Cousins in this one, as he has yet to throw an interception all season long, and has gone over the 300-yard mark twice. Despite the Vikings being 1-2, Cousins has not been the problem, and if the Browns get out to an early lead in this, expect Cousins to be throwing it all over the field.
