Let's get three sleepers from Jamie Eisenberg

0:35.9

right now on Fantasy football today in five.

1:11.1

Kirk Cousins. Jamie's been high on Kirk Cousins for a while. He loves the coaching change. And do you have been in your top 12? And what do you think his potential is? Kirk Cousins. I think his potential is top 10. I don't know if he's a top five quarterback. but I do think, you know, based on what we see about the position and waiting for guys and the upside of what they have, you talk about this all the time, how good the receiving court can be and can the quarterback follow suit. You know, when you talk about Justin Jefferson being one of the top three receivers, maybe the number one receiver, that's a good place to start for cousins and Thielen and KJ Osborne and Irv Smith and the rest of the guys there, obviously, if they even stays healthy with what Daven Cooks do out of the backfield, you know, I think we're going to see a more aggressive approach. We've talked a lot about, you know, in terms of where they are and in past attempts per game and how that's kind of fluctuated the last couple of seasons. And they're coming off here where they threw the ball a little bit more than I think people

1:27.6

realize.

1:28.8

But Kevin O'Connell, I think, will be more aggressive in terms of how they throw the ball,

1:32.4

maybe more in the red zone, certainly more on first downs, obvious rushing situations. I don't think we'll see them run the ball as much. It's not a knock on Dalvin Cook. I think it's just more of a belief in what they have as a passing system.

1:42.2

O'Connell was with Kirk Cousins in Washington as the quarterbacks coach there once upon a time.

1:47.1

So these two are familiar with each other. I just think there's a lot more upside than downside with Cousins. I always like to wait on the position. He doesn't run, which is a knock on him. But I do think he can be a 4,500-yard pass for 40 touchdowns, can take a significant step forward as a fantasy option He's always solid, but that would be a hell of a year 40 touchdowns. Kirk Cousins, QB 15 right now in 80P since May 1st on NFC. Naim Hines, you've been talking about this a lot too. They said they're going to use him a lot more. What does that look like for Naim Hines? And what do you expect from him? I think it could be a 70 cash running back. You know, you just look at what this offense has and maybe what it doesn't have in the passing game. You know, we're hearing positive reports about Paris Campbell. They like Alec Pierce. You know what Michael Pittman's going to be. There's a changing of the garden tight end because Jack Doyle is no longer there. But I think more importantly, it's the quarterback.

2:35.0

You know, when you have a guy like Matt Ryan who is not going to run and will use his

2:38.1

running backs out of the back field, Jonathan Taylor says the ability to be in the 40 catch range because of how much to be on the field. But I do think that we'll see. and I've talked to their coaching staff there,

2:47.1

their offense coordinator,

2:48.4

the running backs coach for a story I'm doing
