Video: Brock Bowers INJURED Reaction!
Don't think this is going to help the uh Kirk Cousins keeping Fernando Mendoza on the bench plan... I've been adamant that five and a half should be the line for Cousin starts before we see Mendoza out there.

Avoid until spread reaches 5.5; weakened Raiders offense post-Bowers

Ian Hartitz states that Brock Bowers' injury will not help his plan to keep Kirk Cousins benched in favor of Fernando Mendoza. Hartitz has been adamant that Cousins should not be started until the line reaches 5.5 points before considering Mendoza. With Bowers out, the Raiders' offense is weakened, making Cousins a less attractive start. Hartitz projects the Raiders to go 1-3 in their first four weeks (losses to Dolphins, Chargers, Saints, and Chiefs) before potentially starting Cousins in week five against New England.
