Kirk Cousins expected to stay in Minnesota this season ‘short of changing unforeseen circumstances’

Oct 14, 2023

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is expected to remain in Minnesota and not waive his No-trade clause — “short of unforeseen circumstances.”

Fantasy Impact:

The Vikings are 1-4 and have their best player, Justin Jefferson, on injured reserve. Minnesota has Chicago, San Francisco and Green Bay before the October 31 trade deadline and Cousins is a free agent after the season. “But short of a contending team with a familiar offense losing its starting quarterback before the NFL's Oct. 31 trade deadline, Cousins is expected to finish the season with the Vikings,” wrote Schefter. Cousins is our No. 11 quarterback this week against the Bears.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
