# Garrett Podell: Podell ranks all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks entering Week 10 of the 2026 season, installing Joe Burrow at No. 1 and dropping Caleb Williams to 13th. **Claimed:** Nov 11, 2026 **Pundit:** Garrett Podell — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/garrett-podell **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-qb-power-rankings-joe-burrow-jordan-love-caleb-williams/ 6 checkable claims — 4 depth chart calls, 1 availability call and 1 contract call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 10 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > It's pretty self-explanatory why he is the new No. 1 entering Week 10. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Drew Lock to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart 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 - **Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Carson Beck, Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kyle McCord to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Kyle McCord, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **C.J.
