Washington has entrusted its starting QB job to Kirk Cousins. Should fantasy owners follow suit? Patrick Smith/Getty Images

Every week during the NFL season, Matthew Berry will be engaging in a discussion with an NFL expert on topics that will provide valuable insights for fantasy owners. For this pre-Week 3 edition, he and former NFL defensive back and director of pro personnel Louis Riddick look at some of the ripple effects resulting from big Week 2 injuries, starting with the quarterback situation in the nation's capital.

Should fantasy owners be jumping all over Kirk Cousins now?

Matthew Berry: Louis, we saw several big-name NFL players go down to injuries in Week 2, including many who are major factors in fantasy football as well. Perhaps the biggest headline involved Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, who is out indefinitely with a dislocated ankle, and his replacement Kirk Cousins, who threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cousins has the look of a guy who could be a real factor in fantasy this season, but I'm interested to get your opinion on how good he can be for Washington.
