I cut Mendoza some slack last week, but it's hard to ignore back-to-back games with interceptions... the Raiders' offense operates more smoothly with Kirk Cousins behind center right now... that's another strong sign that the rookie won't be the team's Week 1 starter

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Back-to-back INTs end Mendoza's Week 1 starter hopes for Raiders.

Back-to-back interceptions in preseason games signal he won't be the Raiders' Week 1 starter; in the third preseason game, he threw into a tight window to 5-foot-11 Jalen Nailor and was intercepted. The offense operates more smoothly with veteran Kirk Cousins behind center, who has familiarity with Klint Kubiak's system, further cementing that the rookie's hopes of starting Week 1 have ended.
