Now a days, we all seem to play fantasy football. Some fans shy away from drafting players from their favorite teams, while others relish the opportunity to grab their squads stud(s).
Here are the projected fantasy stats on Redskins Quarterback Kirk Cousins, and his sidekicks, from ESPN for the 2016 season:
Kirk Cousins
ESPN Fantasy Projection: 4,550.8 yards, 29.7 TDs
4500 passing yards is a lofty number, especially for a second year starter, but ESPN brings up some good point to justify the numbers. They cite the Redskins extremely talented receiving corps, including fantasy stud Jordan Reed, and Cousins familiarity with the offense, as reasons why they think he can hit these numbers.
Matt Jones
ESPN Fantasy Projection: 936.7 rushing yards, 5.2 touchdowns
DeSean Jackson
ESPN Fantasy projection: 980.7 yards, 4.5 touchdowns
Pierre Garçon
ESPN Fantasy projection: 579.1 yards, 4.4 touchdowns
Jamison Crowder
ESPN Fantasy projection: 467.7 yards, 3 touchdowns
Josh Doctson
ESPN Fantasy projection: 540.7 yards, 4.1 touchdowns
Jordan Reed
ESPN Fantasy Projection: 932.8 yards, 8.5 touchdowns
