Kirk Cousins makes his return to Minnesota where he threw for 23,000 yards and 171 touchdowns over the course of 6 seasons. He reunites with Justin Jefferson who averaged 98 receiving yards per game with Cousins under center, but only 60 yards per game over the last 2 seasons without him. His points per game has dropped to 12.3 from 20.4 these last 24 games without Cousins so things should turn around now that his former quarterback is under center
Cousins should be an upgrade for a Minnesota offense that ranks 27th in points per game and 31st in passing yards per game. Cousins ranks 12th in yards per attempt and 2nd in passing touchdowns this year so Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson should all see an uptick in production moving forward.
