3. Kirk Cousins, QB, Minnesota Vikings (vs. AZ)

Kirk Cousins has been a sneaky good fantasy quarterback this year in a new and improved Vikings offense. Before the bye week, he was the QB10 on the year, which isn’t bad, considering he probably fell towards the late rounds in most fantasy drafts. Nonetheless, he’s been a solid fantasy option, largely due to the elite supporting cast he has around him.

Cousins takes on the 25th-ranked Arizona Cardinals secondary, which allows the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks so far in 2022. The Vikings are capable of competing in high-volume offensive games, which this one has a chance of becoming. Cousins is a QB1 this week and is a sleeper DFS option considering his value.
