Kirk Cousins News
Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah stated on Wednesday that he expects quarterback Kirk Cousins to remain the team's starter next season. Cousins will be entering the final year of his contract in the 2023-2024 campaign and it is unclear at this point if Minnesota intends to sign him to an extension during the offseason. The 34-year-old led the Vikings to a 13-4 regular-season record while posting 4,547 passing yards, 31 total touchdowns, and 14 interceptions this year, but the team was ultimately sent home in the Wild Card round of the playoffs with a loss to the New York Giants.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 31 of his 39 passing attempts for 273 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions in the 31-24 loss to the New York Giants. Despite a solid outing, the Vikings' season will come to an end as Cousins wasn't able to lead his team down the field in the clutch like he'd done all season. Cousins finished the year with 4,547 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. Cousins has one more year on his current contract with Minnesota, and there's speculation 2023 could be his final season with the team if he can't find postseason success.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been known to have a high ceiling and low floor throughout his NFL career, and 2022 has been no different. The veteran quarterback has six games over 22.5 DraftKings points, but he's failed to reach 13.1 DraftKings points in five games this season. Since DFS is the focus here, a boom-or-bust fantasy quarterback is a perfectly fine option. Cousins faces a New York Giants defense that has been solid against quarterbacks, but he passed for 299 yards and three touchdowns in the first game against them. Ultimately, Cousins is just the fifth-most expensive signal-caller on DraftKings and with Lamar Jackson (knee) and Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) not expected to play, he's a great budget quarterback in full six-games DFS lineups.
