I thought Cousins was going to be nothing more than a placeholder for Fernando Mendoza. So, I'm very shocked by how well he's been playing and was dead wrong in the offseason. He's one of the biggest reasons the Raiders are in the playoff picture at the halfway point of the season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Cousins outperforming expectations; no regression signs despite age concerns.

Matt Holder was "very shocked" by Cousins' strong play and admits being "dead wrong in the offseason" when he expected Cousins to be merely a placeholder for Fernando Mendoza. Holder credits Cousins as "one of the biggest reasons the Raiders are in the playoff picture at the halfway point of the season" and notes he's coming off his best game of the year against the Jets with "no sign of regression" so far, though age and lack of mobility could show up under pressure down the stretch as Vegas' one-dimensional offense continues.
