2024 Pre-Season Rank #78, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #61, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #87, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #121. Peak Period: 2016-20

The run of Kirk Cousins in Minnesota was underappreciated as he earned three of his four Pro Bowls and 171 Touchdowns in purple. Cosuins departed to lead Atlanta, who promptly drafted Michael Penix Jr. in the First Round. The writing was on the wall.

Cousins had his least accurate season as a starter, allowing an NFL-high 16 Interceptions, before he was relieved for Penix. Cousins begins the season on the bench, and at age 37, his best days are likely done, though his overall numbers (42,979 Yards and 288 TDs) are nothing to be ashamed of, and if he gets significant time, he can break 45,000 Yards and 300 TDs, which is high-end company.
