if Las Vegas isn't winning with Kirk Cousins at quarterback, it's going to be hard to justify not making the change...I don't think Cousins has much (if any) trade value at this stage in his career. Especially if he isn't starting anymore, that likely means he wasn't playing well in the first half of the season.

Negative signalProjection

Cousins' poor early performance will force Mendoza into the game; minimal trade value at 38.

Starting QB whose performance will determine Mendoza's start timing; if Las Vegas isn't winning with Cousins at quarterback, the organization will be hard-pressed to justify not making the change to the rookie. Kirk Cousins projects Raiders at 2-5 before Mendoza's debut, implying Cousins' early-season struggles will force the hand. Cousins has minimal trade value at age 38, especially if benched, as the league already showed lack of interest during free agency.
