Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins is currently as high as he's ever been in this week's NFL.com QB Index.

After investing heavily in the quarterback position during the offseason, the Atlanta Falcons are sitting pretty atop the NFC South with a 6-4 record. Quarterback Kirk Cousins, who left Minnesota to sign a four-year, $180 million deal in Atlanta, has been worth every penny thus far.

The 5-5 Denver Broncos are set to face off against a particularly beat-up 36-year-old quarterback when they host the 6-4 Atlanta Falcons at Empower Field on Sunday. Per the Falcons, QB Kirk Cousins was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report — the team conducted a walkthrough — due to right (throwing) shoulder and elbow injuries.
