News: 1 hour agoThe Vikings acquired Cousins from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Spin: Minnesota had rolled to a 6-2 start to the season on the back of an elite defense, but the poor play of Kyler Murray (hamstring) and Carson Wentz under center had been a major concern that may have capped the team's potential of securing a playoff spot and making a deep run. The return of Cousins -- who previously directed the Minnesota offense from 2018 through 2023 -- should give the Vikings a notable upgrade over Murray and Wentz and help prop of the fantasy value of all of the team's key skill-position players. After a disappointing two-year run in Atlanta, Cousins bounced back nicely in Las Vegas to begin the season, completing 64.1 percent of his throws for 2,340 passing yards and a 20:8 TD:INT through nine games. His departure from Las Vegas will clear the way for 2026 No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to take over as the team's new starting quarterback.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Cousins signed with the Raiders and will work as the team's starter to open the 2026 season ahead of No. 1 overall draft selection Fernando Mendoza. Cousins made eight starts for Atlanta last season and was not much of a fantasy option, averaging 12.5 fantasy points per game while reaching 18 points only once. The 38-year-old will be a bridge starter at best until Mendoza is ready and is no longer a threat with his legs (7 yards on 14 carries last season). He won't be a fantasy option, even when on the field. He should only be drafted late in superflex leagues.
