2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cousins had some bright spots last season -- he twice threw four TD passes in a game, once topping 500 yards -- but with eighth overall pick Michael Penix lurking, it was only a matter of time before Cousins was pushed aside. He’s fortunate he lasted as long as he did. In his last five games, Cousins threw one TD pass to nine interceptions before he was finally benched Weeks 16-18. Trading Cousins is easier said than done, because he has a no-trade clause and wants to start. The Falcons will need to eat a lot of his salary to get a deal done, but it's unclear how much they're willing to keep. The only way he’ll regain the starting job in Atlanta is if Penix is injured or struggles horribly this season. In that case, Cousins would only have value in two-QB leagues at most. He looked washed up down the stretch last year, ranking 30th among 35 QBs in on-target percentage Weeks 10-15. He hasn't run for a touchdown since 2022, and his mediocre arm isn’t getting any stronger (he threw only 7.3 percent of his attempts beyond 20 yards last year, ranking 32nd). Read Past Outlooks

Makes 2025 debut in blowout
Cousins completed five of seven passes for 29 yards during Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Cousins didn't play at all during the preseason and hadn't seen game action since getting benched at the end of last season. Despite the dud from Michael Penix on Sunday, the Falcons are still rolling with the youngster as their starter and trying to trade Cousins. However, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday that Atlanta hasn't received any trade inquiries about the veteran QB, despite several teams dealing with injured signal-callers.

Cousins was on pace for close to 5,000 yards and 40 TDs last year when he snapped his Achilles tendon in October. As it was, he finished QB24 in fantasy, despite playing only eight games. That’s what hefty volume will do for you -- when he went down in Week 8, he was the league leader in attempts (311). For the second year in a row, his average target depth dropped -- to 7.3, 24th in the league -- which boosted his on-target rate to a career-high 80.4 percent (2nd) and his completion rate to 69.5 percent (3rd). Cousins eschewed the deep ball (6.4 percent of attempts, 31st) for intermediate targets (26.0 percent, 3rd). That’ll probably be the formula again this season for the 36-year-old, especially because he never had elite arm strength in the first place. Whether he gets 600 attempts is the question after he signed with Atlanta in March for $100 million guaranteed. First, he’s still working back from the injury; second, new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, after five years as a Rams assistant, is somewhat of an unknown; and third, the Falcons surprisingly drafted QB Michael Penix eighth overall in April. A lot can go sideways, including risk of eventually being usurped by Penix and his cannon arm. Cousins will need elite volume to have value in single-QB leagues, as he doesn't provide any rushing stats and isn't quite a top passer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still not drawing interest
Cousins isn't a player other teams have inquired about when it comes to a potential trade, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Even with big-name quarterbacks like Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson currently on the shelf, there's been very little movement toward a trade for a veteran QB. That leaves Cousins stuck on the bench in Atlanta behind Michael Penix, a situation that also applies to Russell Wilson with the Giants and Joe Flacco with the Browns. Cincinnati might be the only team desperate enough to trade for a new quarterback, as Jake Browning hasn't been able to keep the Bengals afloat in Burrow's absence.
