Kirk Cousins guided the Raiders to a 27-13 victory over the Dolphins in Klint Kubiak's first game as head coach, showing early success in the new offensive system.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
Cousins has only one Tier 2 vote over the past two seasons after commanding a career-best 31 entering 2024, his first season with Atlanta. An offensive coordinator cited lack of mobility as a big concern; a former GM noted the torn Achilles tendon from 2023 is a hard injury to overcome at his age, and those deficiencies have worsened.
