Mendoza likely enters by week 4–5 as Cousins alternative; valuable in best-ball stacks.
Fernando MendozaLV
Mendoza is expected to enter the Raiders offense by week 4–5 as a potential under-center alternative to Kirk Cousins, who has not gone under center much since tearing his Achilles and is limited in running Kubiak's efficient play-action offense. Mendoza could be very efficient, similar to Sam Darnold's 2024 performance. While not fantasy-relevant in redraft leagues, Mendoza is worth adding to Raiders stacks in best-ball formats as a three-quarterback build piece; the speaker is highly confident he plays weeks 15–17 when fantasy playoffs matter and can be taken essentially for free at his current ADP.
