Fernando Mendoza fantasy football insight from Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings

His size, toughnesses, arm talent, and occasion scramble ability reminded me of the skinnier version of Ben Roethlisberger. He can make all the throws and very rarely made mistakes. His production profile and draft capital spit out a 95th percentile QB prospect, and he has the traits to enter the top-5 QB conversation in due time. That said, the Indiana offense had a lot of half-field reads built in and Mendoza did drop his eyes after the 2nd/3rd second often. I'm sure Tom Brady sees the same thing, and I'm sure their serious about Mendoza entering training camp as the backup to Kirk Cousins. If Cousins plays well, then Mendoza really could miss a large chunk of the year. That's an issue! But the Raiders roster is still mediocre, and Cousins is a below-average starter with injury issues. I'd still make Mendoza the favorite to start in November and on, even if every report out of Vegas is Mendoza will sell us another story.
