Outlook Fernando Mendoza

Fernando Mendoza vs SEA at home — tough test in first career start

Following the trade of Kirk Cousins to Minnesota, the Raiders named the rookie top pick their starting quarterback going forward. Mendoza steps in ahead of Aidan O'Connell for his first career start on Sunday, taking command of an offense featuring tight end Brock Bowers, running back Ashton Jeanty, and wideout Tre Tucker.

Fantasy managers quickly took notice as his rostership jumped to 18% overnight, though few are trusting him in lineups for such a difficult debut. Playing as sizable home underdogs in an expected low-scoring battle against a stingy Seattle pass defense, our weekly projection pegs him for 207 passing yards, 1.3 passing touchdowns, and 13.3 fantasy points, making him a speculative bench stash this week.
