2024 Outlook
Depth Chart
The Falcons landed the biggest name in the quarterback free agent market, Kirk Cousins. After six productive seasons in Minnesota, Cousins will be part of the changing of the guard in Atlanta.

Coupled with an overhauled coaching staff, signing Cousins is a clear sign of the philosophical changes coming to Atlanta. Gone are the days of Arthur Smith's maddening offense. Cousins will be the quarterback who can effectively distribute passes to the weapons that Atlanta has heavily invested in.

On his own, Cousins is not a particularly intriguing option in fantasy. He's 36 years old and is recovering from an Achilles tear and the Falcons are expected to make Bijan Robinson the focal point of their offense. In Minnesota, the offense revolved around Justin Jefferson. Cousins is also a statue in the pocket, adding zero fantasy production with his legs. His most intriguing trait will be his ability to deliver quality targets to Atlanta's pass catchers. A low-end QB1 season would likely be his ceiling.

News From The Past 90 Days
Kirk Cousins benched for Michael Penix Jr.
Rookie named Atlanta's starting QB moving forward
By: Doug Orth | Tue Dec 17, 7:00 pm

Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to a 4-year, $180M contract this offseason with $90M fully guaranteed. He will head to the bench after starting just 14 games for Michael Penix Jr. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)

FFToday's Take: While it was probably a move that should have been made a while ago, there is no question that it still comes as a shock given the money Cousins is still owed. Schefter notes that if Atlanta cuts Cousins before the start of the new league year, it will leave the Falcons with a dead-cap charge of $65 million. With regards to Penix, there will be expectations for him right out of the gate as the No. 8 overall pick coming into an offense with such a dynamic supporting cast. The left-hander will draw the Giants in his first career start, which gives him a chance to be viable in fantasy this week. While he is not the same kind of running threat he was before all of his college injuries, he is a very capable runner, which puts him in the mid-range QB2 conversation.
