Game Info
Kickoff: Sunday, November 15, 2026, 4:05 PM ET
Location: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV
Network: CBS
Seattle Seahawks
Quarterback
Sam Darnold: OUT
Drew Lock: START (in Superflex), Borderline QB1
Drew Lock is a solid start in Superflex as long as he’s throwing the ball to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He’s not a super exciting start, throwing for less than 200 yards and a single score in 2/3 games (he didn’t start Week 1 but played 90% of snaps). It’s a fantastic matchup against the Raiders, but so was last week against the Cardinals. He’s a high-floor starter who will periodically throw multiple touchdowns. Lock’s a lock while he’s starting.
Running Back
Zach Charbonnet: START, RB2
Jadarian Price: FLEX, RB3
George Holani: SIT
It looks like the Seattle backfield may finally be establishing a duopoly with Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price. Charbs took 16 carries and saw two targets on nearly 60% of the snaps, while Price had nine and four on 36%. Charbonnet has the higher floor and should see his snap count continue to climb with each passing week, but Price is a fine FLEX play with upside as long as he’s seeing 15 or so opportunities a game. The Raiders are a top-five matchup and make both backs solid plays for Week 10.
Wide Receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba: START, WR1
Cooper Kupp: SIT
Rashid Shaheed: SIT
Jaxon Smith-Njigba isn’t a lineup decision anymore. He’s First Watch. At some point it stopped being “that breakfast place people like” and became “why is there a 45-minute wait at 9:30 on a Tuesday?” You don’t ask questions. You just get in line.
Tight End
AJ Barner: SIT
AJ Barner scored twice last week on two catches and three carries. What do we call a gLoB that needs two touchdowns to get into double digits?
(JSN is the only Seattle pass catcher worth starting)
Defense/Special Teams
Seattle Seahawks: START
Seattle allows the fewest yards in the league and faces rookie Fernando Mendoza making his NFL debut.
Las Vegas Raiders
Quarterback
Fernando Mendoza: SIT
Seems like a really nice kid. Good ballplayer. But sweet baby Jesus, couldn’t Fernando Mendoza have gotten anybody else for his NFL debut? Seattle allows the fewest total yards, passing yards, and the second-lowest points per game to quarterbacks. His future is bright. His Week 10 matchup is not.
Running Back
Ashton Jeanty: START, RB2
Mike Washington Jr: SIT
Dylan Laube: SIT
So that talk about Mike Washington being a potential weekly FLEX? He followed up his 25-carry, 83-yard performance with a six-carry, -3 yard one. Ashton Jeanty‘s value rests solely in the passing game, which works in his favor this week. Seattle is stingy to running backs and holding them to 3.2 yards per carry, but allowing the seventh most receptions per game to the position. Jeanty is what he’s been all season: a volatile RB2.
Wide Receiver
Tre Tucker: SIT
Jalen Nailor: SIT
Jack Bech: SIT
Against one of the league’s best defenses with a rookie QB making his NFL debut, I’m not starting any of these guys. Tre Tucker is a hold for now; the rest can be left on waivers.
Tight End
Brock Bowers: START, TE1
Brock Bowers is locked into your lineup. Calling him “just a tight end” is like calling Cracker Barrel “just a restaurant.” Technically true, but you’re ignoring about 80% of what’s going on.
Defense/Special Teams
Las Vegas Raiders: SIT
Las Vegas allows the most points and the most yards in the league.
