Who is the best fantasy pick for Week 10 - Tom Brady or Kirk Cousins? Brady was truly outstanding last season, but has not been as brilliant in this campaign. Cousins is currently playing the best football of his career and the Minnesota Vikings look almost unstoppable. Both veteran quarterbacks are looking to take their respective teams to the Super Bowl in the current campaign.

If you are having a hard time deciding between these quarterbacks in Week 10, we would suggest that you start Tom Brady.

Why Tom Brady is a better Week 10 pick than Kirk Cousins

The crux of the matter is that Brady has a more favorable matchup than Cousins. Brady will play against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, whereas Cousins has the unenviable task of taking on the Buffalo Bills.

Tom Brady has proven he still has a lot of football left in him and is determined to drive the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into the playoffs. He has started nine games and has thrown for 2,547 yards, 10 passing touchdowns, and one interception. Brady completed 36 out of 58 passes and threw for 280 yards in the last game against the reigning champs, the Los Angeles Rams.

Kirk Cousins is playing his eleventh season and his fifth with the Vikings. He has started eight games and has recorded 1,999 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The Vikings will face a ferocious defense this week, so Tom Brady looks set to earn more fantasy points than Kirk Cousins.

So far this season, Brady has earned 138.4 fantasy points with an average of 15.4 per game. Both Brady and Cousins are scoring similarly in fantasy leagues. But the upcoming week should see Brady outperform the Vikings QB.
