Kirk Cousins ranked 21st among quarterbacks ahead of Week 3

Summary

Kirk Cousins of the New Orleans Saints is ranked 21st among quarterbacks for Week 3 as Las Vegas prepares to travel for the matchup. Despite being one of two passers with three or more touchdown throws in each of the first two weeks, Cousins has not performed as a top 20 quarterback. He finished as QB10 last week but ranked lower after a lackluster Week 1. With limited rushing ability and a supporting cast, his ranking reflects both his performance and matchup against a forgiving Saints defense. The return of Brock Bowers may offer some boost, but analysts suggest preferring other quarterbacks like Bryce Young.
