00:02 - All right, welcome back in to FST Fantasy Sports.
00:05 Today, closing out the first hour,
00:07 building DFS lineups, finding different ways to do it,
00:11 different stars in different positions,
00:13 and still having some money left over
00:16 to go out and get that proper defense.
00:17 But, Joe, all morning long,
00:19 you've been talking about Kirk Cousins,
00:20 you've been talking about this game,
00:22 but now the stat of the day is all about Kirk Cousins.
00:26 What do you got for us?
00:27 - Well, if Randy Moss was cash money homie,
00:30 then he is Cole's cash homie money.
00:33 That's what Kirk Cousins is.
00:34 And Cole, let me tell you something,
00:35 Cole's cash goes a long way in the Pisa Pia house.
00:38 However, people will say,
00:39 "Well, why should I invest in Kirk Cousins?"
00:41 And Kirk Cousins, blah, blah, blah.
00:42 This is why.
00:43 He is QB2 on the season so far.
00:46 This is a game against the Chargers, 666 yards passing,
00:49 but check this out so far
00:51 in his first two games of the season,
00:52 these are the combined stats for Kirk Cousins.
00:55 64 for 88, that's a 72% completion percentage.
01:00 708 passing yards, eight yards per attempt,
01:03 eight, six touchdowns, just one pick,
01:05 a 114.2 passer rating.
01:08 So this is not opinion, this is fact.
01:11 I know Kirk Cousins has let us down in some big spots.
01:14 I know Kirk Cousins has let us down on some primetime games.
01:17 Well, guess what?
01:18 Kirk Cousins hasn't let us down yet in 2023
01:20 and it's week three and we should not let Kirk Cousins down.
01:22 We should be rostering him.
01:23 You should be playing him everywhere.
01:25 He is ranked this week very high on Fantasy Pros
01:27 as he should be and it would not shock me
01:30 if he was the QB1 at the end of the day
01:31 because I do believe that this game
01:33 does become the shootout we hope it's going to be.
01:36 Kirk Cousins and Minnesota Vikings
01:37 are going to push the football.
01:38 They've proven they can't run it
01:40 and Cam Akers isn't up to speed yet.
01:43 So it's gonna be a lot of throwing from Kirk Cousins.
01:44 So there you have it.
01:45 Those are the numbers to support
01:47 why you should start Kirk Cousins today.
01:49 Take them to heart, take them to your rosters,
01:52 roster him this week.
01:53 I think it's gonna be a good decision
01:54 and if it's not, I'll take the L next week.
01:56 That's fine.
