Welcome back. I am your host, Marcus Mosier. He is Michael Fabiano, the fantasy football Hall of Famer. And on today's show, we're talking about Kirk Cousins, signing with the Las

Vegas Raiders. We'll talk about Fernando Mendoza's dynasty value in a second.

But what does this mean with Cousins now signing with the Raiders on a fully guaranteed

contract worth it sounds like about $20 million?

I would project him to be there week one starter, honestly.

I know you hate cousins.

You think he's washed, warm, I do.

All that kind of stuff.

You don't bring in Kurt Cousins unless you're looking to potentially give Fernando

Mendoza a little bit of a bridge, okay?

And maybe it's not the entire 2026 season, but a little bit.

Maybe it's the first $10 million.

I'm just looking at the numbers right now. It's $10 million fully guaranteed. Maybe it's the first four games. Maybe it's the first month of the season. You know, we'll see what happens there. But I would expect that Cousins at least has a very good chance to be the starter in week one. How does this effect, Fernando Mendoza's dynasty value. I don't think it really does, you know, unless you were

expecting him to come in and be a... the starter in week one. How does this affect Fernando Mendoza's dynasty value? I don't think it really

does, you know, unless you were expecting him to come in and be a stud in year one. We're going to

talk about that and why that probably wasn't going to happen regardless. And I don't think this is a

bad thing for any of the Raiders past catchers or any of their offensive weapons. Remember, Clint Kubiak and Kirk Cousins have a relationship from their time in Minnesota.

So this is an easy fit for Cousins, like he knows the offense.
