NFL QB prediction #3: Kirk Cousins to the Steelers

Kirk Cousins is one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the NFL. This season he finishes as a QB1 in fantasy football (QB11). With the Vikings’ new general manager unsure of the future of Kirk, there is a team that just lost their franchise quarterback.

The winning has not always been there for Kirk, but that falls on the coach as everyone saw at the end of the season, the Vikings parted ways with Mike Zimmer.

The Steel Curtain would be perfect for Kirk Cousins. Kirk played in the cold at Michigan State. He is someone who has made big plays needed including the game-winning drive in a playoff game vs the Saints and Drew Brees.

With weapons such as Diontae Johnson who finished as the WR8 with grandpa Big Ben at QB, Kirk Cousins could elevate Johnson even more. Also, Chase Claypool will see an enormous bump up with a quarterback who can throw the ball down the field 50 plus yards.
