STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Mendoza is a long-term prospect but likely to start only after Raiders losses.

While Evan Silva remains high on Fernando Mendoza's long-term outlook, he acknowledges that Mendoza's shaky preseason performance—characterized by holding the ball too long and taking sacks—suggests he is not ready for immediate NFL action. Silva expects Kirk Cousins to start initially, with Mendoza likely taking over once the Raiders' losses accumulate.
