Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 draft class (eight of the 10 picks are on the 53-man roster) fared in a 26-14 win at the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2 and what to look for Sunday at the New Orleans Saints:
Fernando Mendoza:
The No. 1 overall pick served as Kirk Cousins backup. He did not play.
Treydan Stukes:
The Raiders’ second-round pick played 31 defensive snaps before leaving with a concussion. His availability for Sunday will be determined later this week. Stukes was good when
he did play against the Chargers as he had four tackles.
Trey Zuhn:
The third-round pick played two plays at guard and he played four plays on special teams. He did not play on offense in Week 1.
Jermod McCoy:
The fourth-round pick played 18 defensive snaps and he played three snaps on special teams. He did not play at all in Week 1 despite being active. He will likley continue get get some rotational defensive snaps at New Orleans.
Mike Washington:
The fourth-round pick played 19 percent of the offensive snaps for the second straight game. He didn’t make an impact as he had seven yards on three carries. He had seven carries for 41 yards in Week 1.
Dalton Johnson:
The fifth-round pick safety was a healthy scratch for the second straight game. If Stukes is out Sunday, Johnson has a chance to be active. If not, that would not be a great sign.
Zeke Masses:
The fifth-round pick started for the injured Darien Porter and made a huge impact. He had two interceptions and played well overall. if wouldn’t be a shock tp see him become a full-time starter.
Malik Benson:
The sixth-round pick played 8 offensive snaps. He was targeted once but appeared to run the wrong route. He has one catch on three targets in two games. He had one punt return for 16 yards in Week 2 and is averaging 17 yards a punt return on three returns this season.
