The Raiders are leaning toward starting Kirk Cousins over rookie Fernando Mendoza in Week 1, prioritizing stability and giving Mendoza time to develop behind a solid offensive line. With running back Ashton Jeanty potentially sidelined, Cousins’ experience could be crucial. While teams like the Browns may eye Cousins as a trade target—especially with their commitment to Deshaun Watson—the Raiders aren’t actively selling him, valuing his mentorship role. Their goal? Let Mendoza shine when he’s ready, not rush him into the spotlight.
