Fantasy Files: Kirk Cousins was better in 2020 than you remember

Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Kirk Cousins' fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. The real issue for the 2020 Vikings was their atrocious defense, not Cousins, who has largely worked as a top-10 passer since taking his talents to Minnesota in 2018. The potential for the Vikings to boast an improved offensive line is great news for Cousins and everyone involved in the offense, although Ian is concerned that similar improvements on defense could lead to this team embracing one of the more run-first units in the league. Ultimately, Cousins doesn't offer the sort of fantasy-friendly rushing floor that we look for in this funky game; don't go out of your way to land him in fantasy drafts of all shapes and sizes in 2021.
