What We Know About NFL Week 10 Prop Picks: Cousins, Allen

A Week 10 player-prop pick published by the New York Post targets Kirk Cousins' passing-attempt total as he rejoins the Minnesota Vikings days after a trade-deadline reacquisition, with Keenan Allen and Josh Downs also named among the players to watch, according to the outlet's Nov. 14, 2026, betting column.

What is the Kirk Cousins prop pick for Week 10?

The Post's betting desk recommends the Over on Cousins' 33.5 passing attempts at -116 odds on DraftKings for Sunday's game against the Packers, the outlet reported. Cousins was traded back to Minnesota roughly 15 hours after a Monday night loss prompted the front office to move, arriving just ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, per the Post. He spent six seasons with the Vikings before leaving for the Atlanta Falcons in 2024 and had been starting for the Las Vegas Raiders this season, where the Post said he helped produce the league's No. 2 passing attack.

The pick rests on volume rather than efficiency. The Post noted Cousins averaged 35 attempts per game with Las Vegas this season, a figure the outlet used to support the Over despite describing uncertainty elsewhere in the matchup.

What uncertainty surrounds Minnesota's passing offense?

The Vikings enter Week 10 ranked 31st in the NFL in passing yards, attempts and completions, the Post reported, after quarterbacks Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz combined for a QBR of 29.0 — the fourth-worst mark in the league this season, according to the outlet. Minnesota's offensive line has allowed a league-high 46.9 percent pressure rate on dropbacks, the Post said, a figure the column cited as a reason to expect caution on touchdown or yardage props even as attempts volume looks durable.

That split — a bottom-five unit by production, but one the Post frames as likely to lean on Cousins early — is the central tension in the pick: the offensive line's pressure rate could limit downfield production even as game-script and unfamiliarity with Minnesota's new quarterback situation push attempts higher.

How does Cousins' history with Minnesota's system factor in?

The Post's analysis leans on continuity. Cousins returns to a Kevin O'Connell-designed offense he already knows, with established chemistry at receiver. "Cousins not only already knows Kevin O'Connell's system, he has established chemistry with Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and he's going to pepper them all day," the outlet wrote.

The column frames Cousins' arrival as stabilizing for receiver Justin Jefferson specifically, describing the quarterback change as timed to ease what the outlet called Jefferson's frustration with Minnesota's passing struggles this season.

What about Keenan Allen and Josh Downs props?

The Post's Week 10 column also features Allen, the Colts receiver pictured reacting after a first-down conversion against the Tennessee Titans, and Downs among the players whose props the outlet is targeting for Sunday's slate. The published excerpt reviewed for this report does not include the specific lines, odds, or statistical rationale the Post applied to Allen or Downs, so those figures cannot be independently confirmed here. Readers looking for the full breakdown on those two players should consult the original column directly.

Where can bettors find the full list of Week 10 props?

The complete set of picks, including the Allen and Downs recommendations not detailed in the material reviewed here, is available in the New York Post's original Week 10 player props column. The outlet's gambling content carries a 21-plus disclosure and discloses that the Post may receive an affiliate commission on sportsbook signups through its links, a standard disclosure for sports-betting journalism.

The Cousins line was listed on DraftKings at the time of the Post's Nov. 14 publication; odds on player props typically move before kickoff as sportsbooks adjust to wagering activity and roster news, so bettors checking the pick closer to Sunday's game against Green Bay should expect the number to have shifted from the -116 figure reported.
