3. Kirk Cousins 

In most games this season, Kirk Cousins is going to be a main X-Factor for the Vikings. The quarterback is the most important position on the field and Cousins is one of the most criticized. It is because of his lucrative contract but Cousins has put together his best year in Minnesota. 

In 2019, Cousins did not turn in strong performances against the Packers. The Vikings scored 26 points in two games against Green Bay. In the first meeting, Cousins went 14-32 for 230 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

In Week 16, Cousins finished 16-31 for 122 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Vikings will have plenty of weapons to work with this season and it is his job to bring them all together.

The 2020 season could be the year that Cousins takes the next step on the field. He will have to take care of the football in Week 1 and make some big plays to lead the Vikings to victory.
