powellrm Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm guilty of a cardinal fantasy football sin, which is overthinking things. I have Cousins as my starter, and I'm seeing McCown available on waivers. Do I pick up and start McCown this week over Cousins?

Inziladun Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 McCown isn't a bad play this week. Not sure if I'd start him over Cousins, but ultimately I don't predict it'd make much of a difference. Cousins is the safer play I think this week even against a tough matchup. I don't think it'd be a bad move to play McCown, but honestly either you stream QBs or you don't in my opinion, kinda like defenses. I've been burned many many times, including this year(Benching Cam Newton), from not playing the best QB on my team trying to be cute with matchups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ootter Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm roling with McCown possibly ros. But if put myself in that position from trading. Cousins has been iffy, honestly McCown has been performing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 McCown has looked good but I'd still roll with Cousins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powellrm Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 It's a tough one. I can get too cute sometimes with matchups or streamers. My gut is also to roll with Cousins, but man...that TB defense looks bad. Is there anyone else from the McCown group willing to chip in??

AerialDrop Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I feel like Cousins is the better QB, but McCown the better fantasy option. Having a hard time trusting anyone from the Redskins, and they seem to be giving Rob Kelley a good amount of Goal line work. ( 2 games at least) I know the Cousins owner in my league is looking to find a bye week replacement for Smith. I think hes going with Big Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottleWalk Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Whatever you can say about Cousins, he does have a decent floor. Higher than McCown's imo. So it depends largely on your willingness to take risks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylcook13 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I stand corrected. A lot of people are going McCown. They seem to be pretty close to me. A lot of pass attempts for both. I think Cousins is better overall but maybe this week McCown because he has TB. Don't forget McCown has a bye next week. Both of their schedules seem moderately difficult down the stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
