Summary

Kirk Cousins continues to be that middle range quarterback that fantasy football is afraid to draft as a QB1. Cousins has finished as a top 11 quarterback in six of the last seven seasons coming off a QB9 performance last season. With Justin Jefferson as his top target it is hard to write off Cousins upside and his floor he looks like he is locked in once again as a top 12 type of quarterback for 2022. In 16 games in 2021 Cousins threw for 4,221 passing yards along with 33 touchdowns and only threw seven interceptions. He doesn't give you much on the ground but he has scored at least one rushing touchdown in each of the last seven seasons. Cousins has all the weapons to succeed in Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook K.J. Osborn, and Irv Smith Jr.
