Kirk Cousins will be a top-15 QB...The main reason for this confidence is Cousins' Week 1 opponent. The Miami Dolphins' pass defense is straight-up bad.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Cousins projected top-15 QB in Week 1 against Miami's weak pass defense.

The source projects Kirk Cousins as a top-15 QB in Week 1 despite starting only eight games last season and missing top target Brock Bowers to a knee procedure. The bold call is grounded in Cousins' Week 1 matchup against Miami's pass defense, which the source characterizes as 'straight-up bad' after losing pass-rusher Bradley Chubb to cap casualty status, trading away Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Jets, and dealing edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles. Miami's secondary is described as 'question mark after question mark,' allowing Cousins to feast in the Klint Kubiak-designed passing game once the run is established by Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr.
