# Shanna McCarriston: Previewing three Week 10 games, McCarriston expects the Steelers-Bengals rematch to be a close, exciting contest, with one team's four-game win streak ending. Notes that Deshaun Watson is set to return for Cleveland against Houston, and that Fernando Mendoza will make a first NFL start for the Raiders against Seattle. **Claimed:** Nov 13, 2026 **Pundit:** Shanna McCarriston — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/shanna-mccarriston **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/week-10-underrated-games-browns-texans-raiders-seahawks/ 3 checkable claims — 2 availability calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > I expect this game to be an exciting, close matchup as well. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - “Sam Darnold is sidelined, leaving Drew Lock to run things for a second straight week (Week 10 vs. Raiders)” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Drew Lock, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Fernando Mendoza, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - “Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is set to return after missing last week due to a concussion (Week 10 vs. Texans)” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Drew Lock — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/drew-lock - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Fernando Mendoza — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/fernando-mendoza - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/raiders - Deshaun Watson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/deshaun-watson - Cleveland Browns — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/browns ## What others said about the same people - Jeremy Brener on Drew Lock: Brener picked the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals in Week 9 by a multi-score margin, giving a final score of 27-13, and expressed confidence Seattle would be fine with Drew Lock starting at quarterback. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7eb2d245-63d0-4be0-80ba-3f60197e2b16 (scored 100) - Rich Eisen on Myles Garrett: Discussing Myles Garrett's trade request, Eisen said they expect Garrett to get their way and be moved out of Cleveland rather than stay, which is why staying would be shocking. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b61b90d2-d027-4022-b57a-d30ac36f21bc (scored 100) - Albert Breer on Seattle Seahawks: Breer picks the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals in their Week 9 NFC West matchup. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4d67a8a5-0c05-4abe-b2ca-f0cef8390b1d (scored 100) - Tyler Sullivan on Seattle Seahawks: Sullivan picks the Seahawks to win in Week 9. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/dfca04b3-5c80-4a2e-b0de-8ac3a25f225b (scored 100) - Dave Richard on Seattle Seahawks: Richard picks the Seahawks over the Cardinals. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d3db433e-52c6-42d1-a3b0-6b342aac8a9e (scored 100) - John Pluym on Seattle Seahawks: Pluym picks the Seahawks over the Cardinals. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e3897747-c55f-4340-9e82-03f9730f87ba (scored 100) ## More availability calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Jose Sanchez on Keenan Allen: Sanchez expects Keenan Allen to play in the 49ers' game against Dallas in a limited role on passing downs, and argues an injury is more likely than not given age and injury history, meaning Allen will end up being more of the same at receiver for San Francisco. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ee391462-23a7-487d-ae3f-667d892af236 (not settled) - Ralph Ventre on Alec Anderson: Ventre projects Buffalo's Week 10 offensive line at the Jets to feature Dawkins, Anderson, McGovern and Torrence back in place, with Tylan Grable making a third straight start at right tackle in place of Spencer Brown, who appears headed for the inactive list. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/502dbcca-dbd3-4dd4-8651-90eb81186894 (not settled) - Gene Chamberlain on Dayo Odeyingbo: Chamberlain expects defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo to return from a quad injury either in the Bears' next home game against New Orleans or at Detroit on Thanksgiving, and sees the defensive line getting a boost upon that return. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fc4db675-4292-4503-abc6-81abca8723c7 (not settled) - Derek Brown on David Montgomery: Brown picked Green Bay to beat Minnesota in the Week 10 meeting, and raised doubt that Garrett Wilson would play for the Jets coming out of concussion protocol, while also not expecting David Montgomery back this week. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/99b66682-dd11-4ee3-af45-70c74b6fad8a (not settled) - Ian Rapoport on Spencer Brown: Rapoport expected Spencer Brown to be available for Buffalo on Sunday despite the missed practice time, saw Lamar Jackson returning from thumb surgery around Week 16 or 17 if Baltimore stays alive, said the Chargers have no intention of moving on from Justin Herbert, and expected George Pickens to play for Dallas. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/76335ec2-fa1c-49bc-839c-6be609176806 (not settled) - Jared Koch on Keylan Rutledge: Koch wrote that rookie left guard Keylan Rutledge is likely to miss the Week 10 game against the Browns, with fellow rookie Febechi Nwaiwu expected to make a first NFL start at left guard in place of Rutledge, ahead of the more experienced Wyatt Teller. Koch also expects the stinger absence to be brief. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/39edf825-af06-440e-a4e4-9fa612d73052 (not settled) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
