**Kirk Cousins was named the Raiders' Week 1 starter in early September after the team signed the veteran free agent and drafted Fernando Mendoza first overall following his Heisman-winning, national championship season at Indiana.** The 38-year-old has started both games in a 2-0 start, completing passes efficiently for multiple touchdowns while Mendoza has remained inactive as the backup and observed from the sideline. Coach Klint Kubiak has kept the rookie on a measured developmental track in the new offense, with no official updates shifting the depth chart despite Mendoza's strong college pedigree and preseason flashes. Team success under Cousins, the absence of injuries, and the typical preference for veteran stability in the early season currently shape expectations around any near-term change at quarterback.

Fernando Mendoza will be considered "named the starting quarterback" if the Las Vegas Raiders officially announce him as their starting quarterback for a game within that timeframe, or if he takes the Las Vegas Raiders’ first offensive snap at quarterback in a game within that timeframe. An official announcement naming Fernando Mendoza the starting quarterback for a game within that timeframe will resolve this market to "Yes" regardless of whether he ultimately takes the field. Relief appearances in which another quarterback takes the Las Vegas Raiders’ first offensive snap of that game will not count, and preseason and playoff games will not count.
If the 2026-27 NFL regular season is cancelled, postponed past November 2, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the Las Vegas Raiders play no regular season games in Week 1 through Week 8, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source will be official information from the NFL and/or the Las Vegas Raiders; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
