Fernando Mendoza named Raiders starting QB, affecting Brock Bowers' role

The Las Vegas Raiders have named rookie Fernando Mendoza as their starting quarterback, following the trade of Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota. Mendoza, the first overall pick, will take over a struggling offense with the team sitting at 4-5. His upcoming games against the Seahawks and Broncos pose significant challenges, as both teams feature strong defenses. This quarterback change impacts the fantasy outlook of key players, particularly tight end Brock Bowers, who may see a decrease in efficiency and spikes in production while adjusting to Mendoza's leadership.
