From the article

Cousins is QB6 in PPG and has multiple touchdown passes in every game, despite a weak wide receiver corps and missing Brock Bowers for a cross-section of the early weeks... his four interceptions are tied for fourth-most in the NFL... Cousins has a 1.00 big-time throw-to-turnover-worthy play (BTT) ratio on the season, which is below the NFL average... Cousins is a classic example of a sell-high or rest-of-season regression candidate after a hot opening month.

STACKED’s take

Cousins' 11 TDs mask average play; sell-high regression candidate with tough schedule ahead.

Cousins is QB6 in PPG with an 11-4 TD-INT ratio, but his play is overrated and a regression candidate. His four interceptions are tied for fourth-most in the NFL; his 1.00 big-time throw-to-turnover-worthy play (BTT) ratio is below NFL average, indicating average-ish play inflated by high touchdown volume. His pressure-to-sack rate is at an all-time low for his career, barely half his career mark. At 38 years old without quality wide receivers or offensive line play, Cousins is a classic sell-high candidate after a hot opening month. His next schedule (NE-BUF-LAR-NYJ) is one of the more difficult for quarterbacks by aSOS.
