From the article

Kirk Cousins turned heads in his first month as a Raider, with 11 touchdowns to just 4 interceptions through the first 4 weeks. Last Sunday, however, the Patriots took away much of the 38-year-old Cousins' timing and rhythm, exploiting his extreme lack of mobility and arm strength. The result, 243 yards and 1 touchdown, wasn't explosive, but it provided a solid floor.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Cousins showed early promise but was exposed by Patriots; floor remains solid vs. Buffalo.

Cousins opened 2026 with 11 touchdowns to 4 interceptions through 4 weeks but was limited by the Patriots last week to 243 yards and 1 touchdown; the source notes the Patriots exploited his extreme lack of mobility and arm strength, though the result provided a solid floor. Against Buffalo's struggling pass defense, if Cousins can stay upright and plant his feet, he should find openings aplenty downfield.
