38-year-old starting quarterback. Of course, we all know that Kirk Cousins is just a placeholder for No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza. But Cousins' presence in Las Vegas is buying the Raiders a little credibility in NFL Power Rankings heading into the campaign.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Cousins' familiarity with Kubiak's system and preseason efficiency give Raiders credibility.

38-year-old starting quarterback for the Raiders in 2026 under new head coach Klint Kubiak. Cousins played in Kubiak's system with the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 and should be solid behind a revamped offensive line featuring three-time Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum. In preseason, all three drives Cousins led ended in points (one touchdown, two field goals), demonstrating the offense functioned more smoothly and efficiently with him at center. His presence buys the Raiders credibility in NFL Power Rankings heading into the campaign, though he is widely understood to be a placeholder for No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza.
