It's trending toward the No. 1 pick taking over after the bye week. The Raiders have a late bye this year (Week 13), meaning he wouldn't start until December. However, the schedule softens up with games against the Chargers, Broncos (tough matchup), Titans, Cardinals and Chiefs (who might have nothing to play for in Week 18) to round out the season.

Mendoza expected to start after Week 13 bye; softer schedule ahead for rookie development.

The source expects Mendoza to take over as the Raiders' starting quarterback after the bye week (Week 13), likely starting in December. The schedule softens after the bye with games against the Chargers, Broncos, Titans, Cardinals, and Chiefs, providing a favorable environment for the rookie to gain experience. The source believes Mendoza should start immediately to begin his development, though head coach Klint Kubiak is keeping Kirk Cousins as the starter while the team remains technically in playoff contention.
