Video: Jaxson Dart OUT FOR THE SEASON? 🚨 HUGE Fantasy Injury Updates
Fernando Mendoza. Um just by the way that the Raiders are playing the the window of opportunity for Cousins is still there to hold on to this job for a very long time. But at some point this year, we're going to see Fernando Mendoza and it could end up being sort of a Drake May like run out where we saw New England sort of take their time and maybe Mendoza we get at the end of the year. Maybe we get a midyear.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Future Raiders starter; timeline unclear, could arrive mid-year or later

Mendoza is a future starter for the Raiders but timeline is uncertain; Kirk Cousins has a long window to keep the job, but at some point this year Mendoza will likely see action. The scenario could resemble Drake May's gradual introduction in New England, with Mendoza potentially arriving mid-year or end-of-year depending on Cousins' performance. Week four against Kansas City is a key inflection point—if Vegas loses badly, the clock on Cousins' job security accelerates.
