Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Zach Wilson

Free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins could be an option for the Green Bay Packers, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Cousins was released by the Falcons this offseason, and it seems unlikely that he'll get a guaranteed starting job anywhere. While he'll presumably try to sign somewhere with an open quarterback competition, Schneidman notes that the Packers could still be an intriguing landing spot given how much they value the quarterback position. They spent a first-round pick on Jordan Love when Aaron Rodgers was still in town, they actively went out and traded for Malik Willis to back up Love last year, and now, they could bring in a proven veteran like Cousins to fill the No. 2 role. He also has a connection to head coach Matt Lafleur, who was his position coach in Washington for the first two years of his NFL career. Cousins went 5-3 with 1,721 yards, 10 touchdowns, and five interceptions in eight starts (10 games) last year, so we know he's still capable of producing at a decent level. Now, we'll just have to wait and see where he takes his talents. Depending on the landing spot, he could end up having significant mid-season appeal as a fantasy streamer if the team's starter gets injured.
