Kirk Cousins Dynasty Value It seems that once again the consenous is that Kirk Cousins is nothing more than a backend QB2 in Super Flex. Let’s take a look and see if that checks out.
Here are his Last 3 Years and you can tell the trend on his ADP is 
2020
QB11 ADP QB22 (16 GP)
4,265 Yards 35 TD 13 INT 67.6 comp %

QB18 ADP QB19 (15 GP)
3,603 Yards 26 TD 6 INT 69.1 comp %

He is 32 years old (same class as Russell Wilson) will be the starting QB the next 2 years in Minnesota. His contract almost guarantees it. He will be 34 years old when his contract is up and can land another short term starting job somewhere else if Minnesota moves on after 22.
The Good:
15th in attempts
9th in comp %
TD% of 6.8% (highest of his career as starter)
2nd in Yards per attempt at 8.3
2nd in Yards per completion at 12.2
Team will be in
8th in Yards 4,265
The Bad
25th in INT at 2.5% (highest of his career)
25th in Sacks at 7% of dropbacks
15th in attempts
9th in comp %
TD% of 6.8% (highest of his career as starter)
2nd in Yards per attempt at 8.3
2nd in Yards per completion at 12.2
Team will be in
8th in Yards 4,265
The Bad
25th in INT at 2.5% (highest of his career)
25th in Sacks at 7% of dropbacks
The Vikings offense should look similar going forward. Cook, Jefferson, Thielen, Irv Smith all are locked up thru 2022. The one caveat is the Vikings could opt out of Thielen’s contract after this year for $5 mil dead cap hit.
Here is the offensive EPA the last 2 years. it is positive in rushing and passing. One of the better passing attacks in the league over that span. The Vikings defense was horrible last year, which is good for Cousins in Fantasy. The defense was a bottom 5 unit this year. https://twitter.com/jonasstaerk/status/1351733711402840066
The lack of aggressiveness in play calling will limit Cousins upside in fantasy. Minn ran on 45.75% of plays which is better than 2019 where they ran on 48.30% of plays. Still were bottom 6 in these ranks. The bad defense can help account for this increase. https://twitter.com/benbbaldwin/status/1351250597119483914
He has been a consistent QB in his time in Minn. the influx of young QB talent has pushed his ADP back, add to that the narrative of him being a game manager in run 1st offense and he continues to slide down draft boards. FantasyPros currently has him at QB22 ADP!
In startups he can be had at discount. He’s is going in the 5-6 rd in SF. If you target position players early in SF he’s the last first QB pick I would be comfortable with. He’s a fantastic QB2 On any SF roster, or a in 1QB he can be had in rounds 12-14!
In trades I would be comfortable giving up the mid-late 1st for him in SF. In 1QB I would be comfortable giving up a mid to late 2nd rd pick.
I think he is a solid set it and forget it QB in both redraft and dynasty. I would recommend acquiring him in your leagues.
