Rough opening act for Fernando Mendoza in Houston. The Raiders rookie QB got picked on his very first drive, with Texans rookie LB Wade Woodaz jumping the route and taking it 80 yards the other way for a pick-six. Mendoza bounced back with a 22-yard strike to Jalen Nailor after a high first throw. DFS note: Vegas said he’d play most of the first half, so there’s real volume flowing to Nailor and the Raiders’ pass catchers tonight even with the shaky start. Preseason rookie QB lines stay volatile. (source: Yahoo Sports, CBS Sports live blog, Las Vegas Review-Journal)
