Mendoza benched behind Cousins, who leads league with 16 TDs.

Mendoza remains on the bench behind veteran Kirk Cousins, who leads the league's fourth-ranked passing offense and has thrown a league-high 16 touchdowns. The source notes that Mendoza could see extended playing time if Cousins is injured or experiences a downturn, but currently has no path to immediate playing time despite being drafted No. 1 overall by the Raiders in April.
