BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~115
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is the epitome of consistency, spending his career below the elite tier of fantasy quarterbacks. Over the past four seasons, he has finished as the QB13, QB18, QB9, and QB 11, respectively. In 2021, the veteran passed for 4,221 yards and 33 touchdowns, similar to his 2020 numbers of 4,265 yards and 35 touchdowns.
The question is not what Cousins offers, but is what he provides worth drafting as a starting fantasy quarterback? The Vikings' personnel is nearly identical to last year, with Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and Dalvin Cook leading the charge, plus a healthy Irv Smith Jr. returning from injury.
The 33-year-old passed for two or more touchdowns 11 times last season, but never more than three, and passed for 200+ yards 13 times, but never more than 351, further illustrating the high-floor, relatively low-ceiling combination he provides.
While Cousins is always available later in drafts and the end-of-season finishes are okay, his inability to deliver week-winning performances will limit your team's opportunity to compete. Cousins, currently ranked 15th in Rotoballer's rankings and while he could definitely improve upon his previous finishes with a big year and a few more touchdowns, he is still probably best suited to be a streamer or your second quarterback in a two-quarterback or Superflex league.
