Outlook Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza vs SEA at home — intriguing debut in tough matchup
Following this week's Kirk Cousins trade, the Raiders are turning to healthy rookie Fernando Mendoza for his first NFL start against Seattle. Coach Klint Kubiak stated the staff is not peeling back the playbook, signaling confidence as Mendoza steps in ahead of Aidan O'Connell alongside weapons Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty.
Rostered in 30% of leagues after a rapid waiver surge, Mendoza is started in just 6% of lineups. Our weekly projection sits at 12.7 fantasy points behind roughly 197 passing yards, 1.3 touchdowns, and modest rushing output. Facing a 5-4 Seattle defense as home underdogs in a projected low-scoring game caps his immediate ceiling, leaving him best suited for deep or two-quarterback leagues.

Outlook Drake Maye
Drake Maye vs. Detroit in Munich brings high-scoring bounce-back appeal
Maye enters Week 10 healthy after taking a hard sack late in last week's turnover-filled loss, looking to recapture the form that earned him October AFC Offensive Player of the Month honors. New England faces 6-2 Detroit in a neutral-site Munich matchup projected to be high scoring, though Maye's passing outlook bears monitoring with A.J. Brown questionable.
Fantasy managers remain confident, universally rostering Maye and starting him in 94% of leagues. Our weekly projection lands at 21.8 fantasy points behind roughly 275 passing yards and two touchdowns, alongside steady rushing production. With his dual-threat upside in a favorable scoring environment, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.
