Cousins tied for league lead in passing TDs but faces brutal schedule; Mendoza looms.

Kirk Cousins is tied for the league lead in passing touchdowns through week 3, but the source frames this in the context of the Raiders' deteriorating schedule and overall team weakness. The source suggests that while Cousins has had early success, the Raiders' upcoming schedule (Chiefs, Patriots, Bills, Rams, Jets, 49ers, Seahawks, Broncos) will likely result in losses, and Cousins will eventually be replaced by rookie Fernando Mendoza, which will lower the team's ceiling.
