The Raiders have been much better than advertised. They rank eighth in scoring, fourth in plays per game and 11th in EPA per play. If an opportunity opens later in the season, Mendoza would be stepping into an offense capable of making him a streamable fantasy quarterback.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Mendoza's Superflex stash value hinges on Raiders' 8th-ranked scoring and Cousins' injury.

Mendoza has not played a regular-season snap, so this is a Superflex stash based entirely on environment and contingency value. The Raiders rank eighth in scoring, fourth in plays per game and 11th in EPA per play. Kirk Cousins has thrown 11 touchdown passes (tied for league lead) with three three-touchdown games. The source credits Klint Kubiak for building a creative offense around Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer and Ashton Jeanty, using 12 personnel and heavier formations to manufacture favorable matchups. The Raiders lack a traditional No. 1 receiver yet the system is generating points. Mendoza is officially the QB2 behind Cousins with no immediate path while the veteran is healthy. If an opportunity opens later in the season, Mendoza would be stepping into an offense capable of making him a streamable fantasy quarterback.
