ESPN Fantasy Projection: Cousins signed with the Falcons in March and gives Atlanta some hope after the failed Desmond Ridder experiment of 2023. Cousins got off to a hot start in Minnesota last season, racking up 2,331 passing yards and 18 touchdowns (and just five interceptions) through eight games, but succumbed to a torn Achilles that ended his season at the midpoint. He'll have no shortage of targets to work with in RB Bijan Robinson, WR Drake London and underused TE Kyle Pitts, but his lack of mobility is always a concern. While he's expected to give the Atlanta offense a boost, the 35-year-old pocket passer is a solid QB2 with a ceiling of a fringe QB1.
