Cousins had a rough Week 1, throwing for just 155 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, scoring just 6.2 fantasy points. Oof. He struggled to move around the pocket. There was no play-action. And even when Cousins wasn’t under pressure, it seemed like he was looking to check down, given that he averaged less than 5 air yards per throw in clean pockets. To be fair, the healthy Steelers defense presented a very difficult matchup. The Eagles’ defense is not at the same level, but Philly is tough upfront and will create pressure. Cousins is in a new offense and still less than a year removed from a torn Achilles. Until we see proof that he’s back at full speed, he has to be benched in fantasy.
