The Facts:
McCown was HC Lane Kiffin's not-so-secret selection to start, and it sounds as if McCown will be under center when the Raiders visit the Broncos in Denver in Week 2.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Kiffin said he didn't see anything compelling enough in a 36-21 loss to the Lions to consider switching to Daunte Culpepper, even as the Raiders went into the half trailing 10-0 and the home crowd was getting restless seeing Culpepper standing on the sideline in his baseball cap. As Kiffin noted, "Fans have a right to their opinion. After the third touchdown in a row they weren't chanting for Daunte any more." McCown led the Raiders on three straight touchdown drives, something they never accomplished last season, for a 21-20 lead with 7:43 remaining.
