Kirk Cousins Draws Tough Matchup In Week 1

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins faces a tough matchup in the season opener against the Green Bay Packers. In 2021, the Packers allowed the 10th-fewest passing yards per game as well as the sixth-lowest completion percentage to opposing quarterbacks. Despite this, Cousins was able to throw for 341 yards and three touchdowns in their meeting last season. With a newly implemented pass-heavy offense and a supporting cast that includes the likes of Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, the veteran can be valued as a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 in this matchup.
