The Vikings of the past two seasons have been near mirror images of each other. Tantalizing talented, and just inconsistent enough to not get into the playoffs. Because of an underachieving defense, and a prehistoric offensive scheme despite dynamic talent, Mike Zimmer and his coaching staff have been replaced with another fruit plucked from the Sean McVay coaching tree, former Ram offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell. O'Connell has bounced around the NFL as player and coach, but finally brings a brand of football to Minnesota that fits their prolific offensive players.
Cousins' fantasy numbers didn't exactly suffer under a run-first coach, as the Viking defense was so bad, throwing the ball became necessary for survival. Instead of throwing the ball around the yard to play catch-up, look for this Vikings offense to attack defenses with a scheme that isn't shy about putting the ball in their best player's hands in a variety of ways. Much like the Rams, I anticipate Cousins and the offense utilizing multiple formations and sets to get the ball out quickly to their playmakers. Passing to set up the run will open the offense, and allow more room for Dalvin Cook to scamper around. While Cousins doesn't possess the pure arm talent that Matthew Stafford does, he was in the top-10 in the NFL in pass attempts of 30+ yards last year, so he's got the moxie to go long. Along with his efficiency numbers, I expect those deep shots to increase as well.
With a more modern scheme, Justin Jefferson in his 3rd season, and NFC North that isn't exactly stacked, Cousins has a realistic shot at a top-5 season if Thielen comes back healthy, and the young receivers develop. Either way, Kirk is a great value pick on the fantasy quarterback carousel if you are looking to wait on your signal caller.
