Atlanta @ Las Vegas
Team Totals: Falcons 24.5, Raiders 19.5
Kirk Cousins’ 0:8 TD-to-INT ratio during Atlanta’s four-game losing streak, while pitiful on the surface, came against four defenses (Saints, Broncos, Chargers, and Vikings) who have not only pressured QBs on over 30% of dropbacks but are also allowing fewer points than expected to enemy QBs; the Raiders rank 29th in pressure rate (27.5%) with the ninth-softest DvP. It’s uncomfortable, but those numbers leave Cousins’ on-paper outlook as one to target for both Superflex leagues and any two-game contests (at low ownership). I do not expect No. 8 overall pick Michael Penix Jr. to start until/unless the Falcons are eliminated from the postseason. … Tyler Allgeier popped up for 9/63/1 rushing on 13 snaps (18%) in Minnesota but it’s Bijan Robinson who’s commanded 32 (78% share) and 24 touches (72.7%) in two games out of Atlanta’s bye. De’Von Achane (4.2 yard per carry), Jaleel McLaughlin (6.2), Isiah Pacheco (6.2), and Rachaad White (5.2) — a handful of the league’s most inefficient between-the-tackle runners this year — all had their way with the Raiders on the ground in the last month.
