The Las Vegas Raiders are in full transition as rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, the national champion from Indiana, prepares to challenge veteran Kirk Cousins for the starting job—possibly as early as Week 8. With new head coach Klink Kubiak and a revamped offense featuring a former 49ers wideout, the team’s ceiling is rising. Expect Mendoza to dominate once he takes over, projected to hit 65% completion rate and show off his dual-threat skills. Meanwhile, running back Ashton Jeanty aims for 1,000 yards, Maxx Crosby stays put to anchor the defense, and Cousins may not survive past Week 13. This could be the year the Raiders finally turn the corner—and fans are watching every move.
