Fantasy football managers preparing for Week 9 should consider starting Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins while benching Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, according to the latest projections and rankings.
The recommendation comes ahead of the Raiders' upcoming matchup, with Cousins showing strong form in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Young has struggled to produce consistent fantasy numbers.
Week 8 action saw Cousins under center for the Raiders against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on November 1, 2026, as captured in a photo from USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect.
