The Atlanta Falcons will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Kirk Cousins.
Is Kirk Cousins Playing in Week 15?
Cousins is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Falcons’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Cousins in Week 15?
Cousins has three touchdowns (and three picks) on his 138 pass attempts this season and has completed just 18-of-49 passes this season when throwing past the sticks (four-of-13 on Sunday against the Seahawks).
I’m not sure what the Falcons do long-term under center, but it’s very possible that the answer for 2026 isn’t currently on the roster, and how we view the pass catches, not so much Bijan Robinson, will hinge, to varying degrees, on what they do in that regard.
For the rest of 2025, you can bank on getting well below average play the rest of the way. Tampa Bay’s defensive structure encourages opponents to pass, so my hope is that Cousins can reach 235 passing yards for the first time this season, but it’s far from a guarantee.
