Kirk Cousins, quarterback, Washington Redskins
A quarterback more folks need to get on board with is Cousins. He finished third in passing yards (4,917) with just 27 less than Matt Ryan in 2016.
Those who played fantasy football last year and drafted Cousins owned the fifth-highest producing quarterback in the game. Yet, current mock drafts show Cousins slipping down to late rounds.
It is a prime example of how severely underrated Cousins is. During his past two seasons as a starter for Washington, Cousins has completed an average of 68.4 percent of his passes for a total of 9,083 yards and 54 touchdowns. He also rushed in nine touchdowns along the way.
Why the Redskins have yet to lock Cousins up under a long-term contract is mind-baffling. Perhaps they will feel inclined if Cousins somehow pulls off Offensive Player of the Year honors.
