## Resource

The Raiders’ young core is stepping up, with Mendoza poised to start over half the season and Stukes locking down safety duties. Keyron Crawford’s injury sidelines him for the year, but his return looms in 2027. Trey Zuhn brings versatility, ready to fill gaps on offense and special teams. McCoy may start on special teams, while Washington Jr. and Jeanty battle for carries. Johnson shines on special teams, Masses splits CB duties, and Benson focuses on returns. Cleveland’s roster cut means no snaps this season — but watch these rookies prove they’re ready to lead. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
