Mendoza would start for Raiders if Cousins traded; limited game experience so far.

If the Vikings acquire Kirk Cousins, the Raiders would likely turn to No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza as their starting quarterback for Week 6 against Seattle; Mendoza has only appeared in a mop-up role in Week 5 at New England.
