Raiders fire special teams coordinator Tom McMahon

Fri Nov 7 5:31pm ET
Field Level Media

The Las Vegas Raiders fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon, the team announced Friday afternoon.

It would appear Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos was the final straw for McMahon, who has been in that role with the Raiders since 2022, two head coaches ago.

In that narrow loss, punter AJ Cole had a punt blocked for the second time this season, setting up what became the game-winning field goal for Denver. Las Vegas kicker Daniel Carlson missed a would-be game-tying field goal with 4:26 left.

A missed extra point the week prior in the overtime loss to Jacksonville and a blocked field goal in the Raiders' 25-24 loss to Chicago on Sept. 28 also loom large as special teams problems that have played a role in the team's 2-7 record.

"Earlier today, we made the tough decision to relieve Tom McMahon of his duties as special teams coordinator," coach Pete Carroll said in a statement. "I have a great amount of respect for Tom and the work that has done in this league, but we have decided to move in a different direction. Derius Swinton II will assume special teams coordinator duties for the second half of this season with outstanding intent and purpose.

"We are grateful for Tom and his work here with the Raiders and wish him nothing but the best moving forward."

McMahon has been consistently working as a special teams coach in the NFL since he was the assistant special teams coach for the Atlanta Falcons in 2007-08. He's since served as the ST coordinator for the St. Louis Rams (2009-11), Kansas City Chiefs (2012), Indianapolis Colts (2013-17) and Broncos (2018-21) before landing in Las Vegas.

Starts, Sits, Sleepers: Week 10

Player Notes
Dawson Knox Nov 8 12:10am ET
Dawson Knox

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has logged 288 offensive snaps this season, the most on the team at the position. However, that hasn't exactly helped his production. In Knox's eight appearances, he's caught only nine passes (14 targets) for 118 yards. He also has only one touchdown, which occurred in the Week 6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Knox was once a go-to option for quarterback Josh Allen, with the 28-year-old combining for 15 touchdowns in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Unfortunately, he's regressed significantly since the start of the 2023 campaign, finding the end zone only four times. Granted, the 2019 No. 96 overall pick could have a decent fantasy showing at some point before the end of the year. Still, he's tough to trust, especially if Dalton Kincaid is on the field. With that in mind, Knox isn't worth starting in any fantasy format in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins.

Calvin Austin III Nov 8 12:00am ET
Calvin Austin III

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III has seen six targets in each of his last two games and should stay involved against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Austin has shown flashes of chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers throughout this season and appears to be locked in as the team's WR2 behind DK Metcalf. That said, he's still difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, especially in this matchup. The Chargers have been stout against the pass, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points per contest to opposing wideouts. Austin's utilization on Sunday night is worth monitoring, and he could be a speculative add in deeper formats, but fantasy managers should avoid starting him this week if possible.

Justice Hill Nov 7 11:50pm ET
Justice Hill

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill hasn't done much throughout the 2025 campaign. Although he had two touchdowns in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, he's been quiet overall from a production standpoint. The 27-year-old logged a season-high 35 offensive snaps in Week 6 versus the Los Angeles Rams. Yet, since the Ravens returned from their bye week, that number dropped considerably, with Hill logging only 11 offensive snaps in the Thursday night win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. With Baltimore looking to build on a two-game winning streak, the team is aiming for a much-needed victory over Minnesota on Sunday. The Vikings have looked good at times on the defensive side of the ball this season. However, regardless of the matchup, Hill isn't worth starting in any fantasy format. That likely won't change anytime soon, especially with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry getting most of the carries.

D.K. Metcalf Nov 7 11:40pm ET
D.K. Metcalf

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf is coming off his worst showing of the season and will hope to bounce back against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Unfortunately for Metcalf, Los Angeles has been stingy against the pass, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts and the third-fewest passing yards per game. On the positive side, Metcalf has been heavily involved in scoring situations, earning over 60% of Pittsburgh's red-zone targets this year. Assuming this contest remains competitive throughout, quarterback Aaron Rodgers should look his way early and often, especially near the goal line. While Metcalf's weekly reliability has dipped, his upside keeps him in play as a low-end WR2 or strong flex option.

Dallas Goedert Nov 7 11:30pm ET
Dallas Goedert

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has been a top fantasy producer. It's fair to say he's had some weak showings throughout the 2025 campaign. However, the 30-year-old has also had a few standout performances, including a two-touchdown effort in the Week 8 NFC East clash with the New York Giants, marking his second multi-score game of the year. Goedert has 30 catches and 289 receiving yards this season, which isn't great compared to other tight ends around the National Football League. On the other hand, he's made up for it by finding the end zone seven times, more than anyone else at the position. With the Eagles sitting among the top teams in the NFC, Philadelphia will look to extend its winning streak to three games by handling Green Bay on Monday night. The Packers have had trouble defending opposing tight ends this season. Still, Goedert's designation as a must-start fantasy option wouldn't have changed even if he had a challenging matchup on the horizon. That will remain the case until he shows signs of regression moving ahead.

Jaylen Warren Nov 7 11:20pm ET
Jaylen Warren

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is fresh off a two-touchdown performance and will look to stay hot against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. While the Chargers rank middle-of-the-pack against fantasy running backs, they have allowed the sixth-most yards per carry and fifth-most rushing touchdowns to the position. Los Angeles has been much tougher through the air than on the ground, so Pittsburgh may lean on Warren and the running game to keep pace on the road. Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson will mix in for a few touches, but Warren's role as the Steelers' RB1 remains secure. Fantasy managers can confidently start him as a top-15 play on Sunday night.

Darius Cooper Nov 7 11:00pm ET
Darius Cooper

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper saw his highest usage of his career so far and his first playing time since Week 3 in Philly's last game against the Giants. When Philly hosted New York, Cooper played 26 snaps, being on the field for 44.1% of offensive plays. His previous highest was 12 snaps on 20% of plays back in Week 2. Cooper was also close to having the first target of his career on a third quarter pass, but the play was negated by a pass interference, stopping him from recording his first stat. Even with A.J. Brown missing the contest, Cooper was unable to get involved. He's still unworthy of a bench spot on fantasy teams.

Dallas Goedert Nov 7 11:00pm ET
Dallas Goedert

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert had his second two-touchdown game of the season in his last performance-the same performance that saw him targeted just three times. Goedert has had many touchdown-dependent showings like this throughout the year-several outings where, had he not scored, he would have mustered just a few fantasy points on less than five catches. But on the other hand, he has scored six red zone receiving touchdowns this season, which is double the amount of everyone else on his team combined. On Monday he faces a Packers defense allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to tight ends. Managers will likely have to pray that Goedert finds pay dirt once (or twice) again this week, but those prayers have been answered so many times already. Consider him a low-end TE1 for Week 10.

Jake Elliott Nov 7 11:00pm ET
Jake Elliott

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has now missed field goal attempts in back-to-back games, going one-for-two in Week 8 against the New York Giants. At first, the problem with Elliott was his lack of kicking opportunities despite his consistent accuracy. Now, the problem is both his opportunities and his accuracy. While he did hit five extra points to pick up the slack, managers can't depend on Philly scoring five touchdowns every week. Elliott is best left off of rosters heading into his Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers.

Aaron Rodgers Nov 7 11:00pm ET
Aaron Rodgers

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been steady this season, ranking fourth among all signal-callers in passing touchdowns heading into a Week 10 away matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers surrender the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and could pose Rodgers' toughest challenge yet. On the other side, however, Pittsburgh's defense has been inconsistent, allowing over 30 points in half of its games. If Los Angeles can keep rolling offensively, Rodgers should see enough passing volume to deliver for fantasy purposes. He's not the safest streaming option this week, but he can be started in a pinch and viewed as a low-end QB2 on Sunday night.

A.J. Brown Nov 7 10:50pm ET
A.J. Brown

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) was a full participant at practice on Friday and is expected to play against Green Bay. Brown was sidelined for one game before the team's bye, but just before that he had his best performance of the season with 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings. On Monday, he'll return to action at Lambeau Field to challenge a Packers defense that has only allowed one 100-yard game to receivers this year (George Pickens in Week 4). While Brown hasn't necessarily lived up to the hype many had for him before the season, he needs to be in lineups given his last couple of showings. Temper expectations, but play him as a solid WR2 this week.

DeVonta Smith Nov 7 10:50pm ET
DeVonta Smith

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has tallied at least nine targets and over 80 receiving yards in three of his last four games as he heads into Monday Night Football versus the Packers this week. Smith has actually garnered more receiving yards and receptions than fellow star WR A.J. Brown this season, even without counting the one game Smith played in that Brown missed. However, to illustrate his boom-or-bust nature, taking away his two best outings this season plummets Smith's yards per game from 73.5 to 48.5. Green Bay is in the middle of the pack, giving up the 16th-most fantasy points to WRs this year, so it comes down to a matter of what version of DeVonta Smith managers will see in Week 10. His recent play has been enough to warrant him a WR2 spot for now.

From RotoBaller

Jalen Hurts Nov 7 10:40pm ET
Jalen Hurts

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts comes off of the bye week to an immediate challenge as he travels to Green Bay to face a Packers defense allowing just 197 passing yards per game, which is the ninth-lowest average in the league. But, in his most recent outing, Hurts put up a season-high four touchdowns against the Giants right after his three-touchdown performance in Week 7, giving him all the momentum and a good amount of rest heading into Monday night's clash of NFC titans. In a preview of what could very possibly be a playoff matchup down the line, he also has his star receiver A.J. Brown back in the mix. Hurts has a lot going in his favor and holds a high-end QB1 spot for this primetime Week 10 battle.

Saquon Barkley Nov 7 10:40pm ET
Saquon Barkley

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was a full participant at practice on Friday and seems fully ready for Monday's game against the Packers. Before exiting in the second half of his last outing, Barkley outran the Giants defense for a 65-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage and finished with 174 total yards. This week, he'll face the fifth-best run defense in the league, as Green Bay lets up an average of 89.4 yards per game on the ground. Barkley has met with two other top-10 run defenses so far this year-the Broncos and the Buccaneers-and averaged 36.5 yards per game in those contests. While the inability to get going in those matchups combined with the recent injury are daunting, Philly's star back is coming off of his best performance of the season and an extra week of rest. Still consider Barkley a reliable RB1 for Week 10.

Tank Bigsby Nov 7 10:40pm ET
Tank Bigsby

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby took over lead back duties in Week 8 after Saquon Barkley left the game early due to a groin injury. Despite logging zero offensive snaps in his first five weeks on the team, Bigsby has seemingly jumped up to being the primary backfield backup after getting nine carries for 104 yards against the Giants. It's unlikely the former Jaguar will see much action this week against the Packers-or any game that Barkley plays in for that matter-but keep an eye on Bigsby as a top-tier handcuff in a pinch.

Brock Wright Nov 7 10:30pm ET
Brock Wright

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright has recorded nine catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets across eight games played in 2025. The 26-year-old is firmly behind Sam LaPorta on the Lions' tight end depth chart and sees most of his work come as a blocker. However, there's some reason to believe Wright may see the field a bit more in Week 10. The Lions have been struggling in pass protection recently, allowing 14 sacks over their last four games. Additionally, starting left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder) and swing tackle Dan Skipper (back) are both questionable to play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Detroit's offensive line issues could lead to more two-tight-end sets and heavier personnel usage, which would benefit Wright. Still, it's hard to imagine he'll be able to provide even modest fantasy production without a touchdown reception in Week 10.

Woody Marks Nov 7 10:10pm ET
Woody Marks

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks could be poised to be the focus of the offense in Week 10 against the Jaguars in the absence of C.J. Stroud (concussion). Marks has been getting more snaps than his fellow running back, Nick Chubb, over the past several games, outsnapping Chubb in four of his last five games. Last week, he struggled to just 27 rushing yards on 10 carries and didn't have any catches against a tough Denver defense that knocked Stroud out of the game. Marks had been productive as a rusher and receiver in his previous games, posting double-digit PPR points in three of four weeks with three touchdowns during that span. He brings a very high ceiling, but there is also a high risk of him busting if the offense can't get going. He's the No. 29 RB in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a high-risk, high-reward flex play this week.

Nick Chubb Nov 7 10:00pm ET
Nick Chubb

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb could help carry the load for the team against the Jaguars in Week 10, since C.J. Stroud (concussion) will be sidelined. Chubb has seen fewer snaps the last few weeks, but he still is getting double-digit carries on a regular basis. He had 11 carries for 34 yards against the Broncos last week after 17 carries for 56 yards against the 49ers in Week 8. Chubb hasn't been very dynamic this season and hasn't ripped off many big plays. He does have a pair of touchdowns on the year and can bring touchdown-dependent upside in what should be a run-heavy game script with Davis Mills at QB. If the Texans can get out front and rely on their defense, Chubb could have a heavier workload than usual. He's ranked as the No. 35 RB, making him a stretch for a flex play in standard leagues but a fringe option for deep leagues. He will need to find the end zone to deliver on his fantasy potential, though.

Isaac TeSlaa Nov 7 10:00pm ET
Isaac TeSlaa

Heading into Week 10, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has now gone three games since recording his last reception. The 23-year-old has two touchdown catches on the season, but he's hauled in just three passes for 54 yards on six targets across eight games played. The Lions have a favorable matchup on paper against the Washington Commanders in Week 10. Through nine weeks, the Commanders rank last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). Still, TeSlaa is buried on the target pecking order in Detroit behind wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, tight end Sam LaPorta, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. TeSlaa maintains some long-term fantasy appeal, but he can't be trusted as a starting wide receiver in Week 10.

Roman Wilson Nov 7 10:00pm ET
Roman Wilson

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson posted a dud during last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts Wilson hauled in one pass for four yards and fumbled the ball. The fact that happened could be why Wilson only saw two targets during the entire game. The week prior, Wilson hauled in four receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown. Despite being the third wideout in this offense, Wilson hasn't touched the ball much outside of his big game in Week 8. The 24-year-old does have potential, but isn't a streaming option until the Steelers are getting him more involved.
