Kevin O'Connell confirmed Friday that Kirk Cousins starts Sunday at Green Bay, five days after the Vikings reacquired him from the Raiders. He had two practices. T.J. Hockenson and Jauan Jennings are out, and Jordan Addison is questionable. Neighbors, the bolts line up, and I am following the load to Justin Jefferson.

The Ravens announced Friday that Lamar Jackson had thumb surgery and is expected to miss 6 to 10 weeks. Jacoby Brissett makes his first Ravens start Monday night against the winless Chargers. Folks, I have whiffed on Derrick Henry twice, and I am still putting my name on the new quarterback.
The trade deadline passed Tuesday with Jonathan Taylor and Daniel Jones still in Indianapolis, while the 2-7 Colts traded receivers Keenan Allen to the 49ers and Josh Downs to the Chiefs. Neighbors, my Oct. 28 call hit, and it does your fantasy team very little good until you follow the targets.
Sean McVay said Monday that Puka Nacua, hurt on the Rams' final offensive play at Washington, has an MCL and PCL sprain and turf toe and will likely join Davante Adams on injured reserve. Folks, in October I ruled this passing game runs through Nacua. The court was right, and that is my problem.
Josh Jacobs broke his right ring finger early in the Packers' 45-27 win at New England, and he is unsure whether he can play Sunday against the Vikings. Kaleb Johnson ran 14 times for 68 yards. Neighbors, my 18-carry call on Jacobs got four carries, and the timecard rule now points to Johnson.
The Chargers are 0-7 with the trade deadline Tuesday, and Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport report that calls on Justin Herbert, Ladd McConkey and Khalil Mack keep getting hard nos. Folks, I am a Raiders man, and my own chair rule says they mean it. I am picking them over Houston today.
Three days before the trade deadline, Tom Pelissero says the most likely outcome for Jonathan Taylor is staying in Indianapolis, and Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport report the Colts have held trade talks on Daniel Jones. Neighbors, my Week 8 carry test came back ugly, and I still trust the masking tape.
