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.

Player Notes
A.J. Brown Nov 8 4:30pm ET
A.J. Brown

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is off the final injury report ahead of Monday night's primetime matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Brown missed Philadelphia's Week 8 win over the New York Giants due to the hamstring injury, but had the Week 9 bye to rest and practiced in full every day this week. The star wideout posted his best game of the season last time he suited up in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings, catching four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns. That marked Brown's first two-touchdown game since Week 8 of the 2023 season. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing season to date, but could be in for a big second half as Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' passing game have gotten rolling. Brown ranks as RotoBaller's WR9 in PPR leagues for Monday night against the Packers.

Saquon Barkley Nov 8 4:20pm ET
Saquon Barkley

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) is off the final injury report and is set to play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Barkley practiced in full every day this week after tweaking his groin during the Eagles' Week 8 win over the New York Giants, but had the bye week to recover and won't miss any time to the injury. Fantasy managers can exhale with the positive news regarding the Eagles' star running back, who is coming off easily his best performance of the season, rushing for 150 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and adding four catches (five targets) for 24 yards as a receiver. Barkley will look to build on the strong performance in Week 10 against a Green Bay Packers defense that has struggled to defend the run since their Week 5 bye, ranking 25th in rushing success rate. Barkley is a rock-solid RB1 for Monday Night Football.

Michael Wilson Nov 8 4:00pm ET
Michael Wilson

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has held a consistent role as the team's WR2 behind Marvin Harrison Jr. in the offense this season. Wilson has emerged more recently, catching 10 of his 13 targets for 145 yards over the past three games with Jacoby Brissett as the starter in place of an injured Kyler Murray (foot). The 25-year-old trails only Harrison and star tight end Trey McBride with a 75.9% route share this season. Those three are the only Cardinals above 75%, with Zay Jones the next closest at 56.8%. Wilson doesn't have the most upside as clearly the third target behind McBride and Harrison, but he presents WR4 value for Week 10 against the Seahawks.

Zane Gonzalez Nov 8 3:50pm ET
Zane Gonzalez

Atlanta Falcons kicker Zane Gonzalez will make his season debut on Sunday in Germany in a matchup against the Colts. The 30-year-old last played for Washington in 2024, which included six regular-season games and all three of the team's postseason contests. In all, Gonzalez was 12-for-15 on field goal attempts and 27-for-27 on extra points. Since entering the leaguein 2017, the Arizona State product owns an 80 percent success rate on field goal attempts, and he'll look to bring some stability to the position after both Younghoe Koo and Parker Romo were unable to make it through the season as the team's kicker. Sunday's contest has a relatively high over/under of 48.5, but the Falcons are projected for only 21 points, so there are likely better options on the waiver wire for fantasy managers looking for a streaming option at kicker.

Trey McBride Nov 8 3:40pm ET
Trey McBride

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride is one of the best tight ends in the league and remains an elite fantasy option for Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. McBride has now scored four touchdowns in three games with veteran Jacoby Brissett as the starting quarterback. The star tight end is averaging 22.4 PPR points per game since Brissett took over in Week 6, which is tied with Kansas City Chiefs star wideout Rashee Rice for the fifth most PPR points per game among wide receivers and tight ends in that span. McBride is a weekly top-three tight end option at worst and remains a set-it-and-forget-it type player for Week 10 against the division-leading Seattle Seahawks.

Harrison Mevis Nov 8 3:30pm ET
Harrison Mevis

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has won the kicking job for Week 10 against the San Francisco Rams, so he'll make his NFL debut on Sunday. The 23-year-old is active over Joshua Karty, who had already missed eight kicks through eight games. Mevis has bounced around the NFL with several teams, but he has not yet appeared in a game. The Missouri product has upside given the Rams' extreme offensive success this year, but without any sort of NFL track record, he also has a very low floor. Managers should only add Mevis if they're desperate, as he ranks #17 among kickers in this week's RotoBaller expert rankings for fantasy football.

Darnell Mooney Nov 8 3:30pm ET
Darnell Mooney

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney will look to get involved in the offense on Sundayin Berlin, Germany, after registering his third one-catch performance in his last four games last week. There isn't much working in the 28-year-old's favor, however, as he's become an afterthought with Drake London (29.5 percent), Kyle Pitts Sr. (20.7), and Bijan Robinson (19.9) gobbling up most of the targets, leaving Mooney with just 10.3 percent of the team's target share this season, which hasn't been helped by the fact that he's missed two games due to injury. On the other hand, the Colts have allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game over the last three weeks (268.7), and although they recently acquired Sauce Gardner, the 25-year-old cornerback will likely see more of Drake London, which could open things up a bit for Mooney. Be that as it may, the veteran wideout projects as only a WR4/Flex play in Week 10.

Justin Fields Nov 8 3:30pm ET
Justin Fields

The New York Jets plan to start Justin Fields at quarterback for their Week 10 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Head coach Aaron Glenn refused to give a clear answer on who the Jets were planning to start at quarterback this week, but as expected, Fields will make his eighth start of the season. The 26-year-old has struggled on the whole this season, completing 64.1% of his passes for 1,089 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions, but has continued to be dynamic as a runner with 53 carries for 288 yards and three touchdowns. The former first-round pick is coming off his best game of the season in Week 8 against the Bengals, completing 21 of 32 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown to go with 11 rushes for 31 yards in the Jets' first win of the season. Surprisingly, Fields is also the only quarterback in the league with at least 100 pass attempts who has not thrown an interception. However, he's remained one of the league's worst at avoiding sacks, with his 11.64% sack rate ranking third highest. Fields will rank as a mid-range QB2 for Week 10 against the Browns.

Jordan Whittington Nov 8 3:20pm ET
Jordan Whittington

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (back) was not a reliable fantasy option when healthy. Now, he's listed as questionable for Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers and remains off the fantasy radar. The 25-year-old saw his snap share drop to 44 percent last week, and he didn't command a single target in the Rams' win. He has a total of 12 catches for 121 yards this year and hasn't topped three receptions in a single contest despite playing 92 percent of the snaps in Puka Nacua's stead during Week 6. Even when Nacua was sidelined, Whittington wasn't a reliable fantasy option. Now that Nacua and Davante Adams are both healthy and Whittington's status is up in the air, he belongs on waivers in all fantasy leagues.

From RotoBaller

Tyler Higbee Nov 8 3:20pm ET
Tyler Higbee

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been targeted at least four times in each of his last three games, so he's back on the fantasy radar as a low-end streamer for Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. Higbee is just the TE33 in PPR leagues this year, but part of that can be attributed to a slow start. He ranks as the overall TE19 over his last three games, indicating that he's not an uber-reliable fantasy starter, but managers can still plug him into their lineups if they're in a bind due to injuries or bye weeks. The Niners have allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points and 11th-fewest yards to tight ends in 2025, so managers should be aware of Higbee's low floor.

From RotoBaller

Aaron Jones Nov 8 3:20pm ET
Aaron Jones

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Jones was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday, but he appears on track to play Sunday. The 30-year-old returned in Week 9 after missing four games due to a hamstring injury and looked good against Detroit, totaling 98 yards from scrimmage on 11 touches. Jones was playing ahead of Jordan Mason in his first game back, and should likely maintain the slight upper hand on Sunday against Baltimore. Mason will still be involved a good amount on early downs, but Jones has flex appeal in PPR leagues. He is ranked as RotoBaller's RB28 for Week 10.

From RotoBaller

Davante Adams Nov 8 3:10pm ET
Davante Adams

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has five touchdowns over his last two games, and he'll look to build on his scoring tendencies during Sunday's Week 10 clash with the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Adams already has eight trips to the end zone this year, tying his season totals from 2023 and 2024. He's averaging one score per game; extrapolated over a 17-game season, that would represent the second-best total of his career. We'll see if he can continue to score at this absurd rate, but even if he tails off slightly, he'll still be a solid fantasy WR1 every week. He has shown that he is matchup-proof and can co-exist alongside Puka Nacua, which is great news for Adams and his fantasy managers. He should be started in all leagues as he takes on a 49ers defense that has surrendered the sixth-most receptions and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025.

Jaylin Lane Nov 8 3:10pm ET
Jaylin Lane

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane has seen his snaps increase on offense lately and tied a season high in receptions in their Week 9 loss against the Seattle Seahawks, catching three of five targets for 29 yards. Lane also lost a costly fumble on a kickoff return that immediately led to a touchdown for the Seahawks. The rookie fourth-rounder has been forced into more action on offense as a result of multiple injuries to Washington's top wide receivers. Lane flashed potential in his highest snap share of the season (70.3%) in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, catching three of six targets for 60 yards. Lane has intriguing athletic traits to build on, but drops have been an issue for the rookie. The 23-year-old should continue to see more opportunities in the coming weeks, and he gets a solid Week 10 matchup against a Lions defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wideouts. However, Lane shouldn't be trusted in lineups for most redraft leagues for Week 10.

From RotoBaller

Puka Nacua Nov 8 3:00pm ET
Puka Nacua

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to be a spectacular fantasy option heading into Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old has 61 catches for 711 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns this year, ranking as the overall WR4 in PPR leagues -- and he would be in the running for WR1 if he hadn't missed a game and a half in October. Nacua should continue to be deployed in all fantasy leagues, and managers shouldn't give the decision a second thought. In his last outing against the Niners, the star receiver caught 10 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, San Francisco has surrendered the sixth-most receptions and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025.

Chris Moore Nov 8 2:50pm ET
Chris Moore

Washington Commanders wide receiver Chris Moore has been thrust into a high snap share this season with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) both missing extended periods of time. Moore has operated as Washington's primary outside receiver in their absences and has led the team in snaps in two of the past three weeks. The 32-year-old hasn't been very productive despite running a high number of routes, catching eight of his 17 targets for 164 yards and a touchdown in eight games this season (four starts). The veteran will likely see a lot of playing time again in a favorable Week 10 against a Lions defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers. Moore hasn't fared as well in Marcus Mariota's starts compared to Jayden Daniels (elbow), posting just two receptions for 25 yards across Mariota's three starts. Moore is a desperation play only in deeper leagues on Sunday.

From RotoBaller

Blake Corum Nov 8 2:40pm ET
Blake Corum

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum could be headed for reduced volume during Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Corum, the Rams' backup to Kyren Williams, has been heavily involved over the last two weeks, touching the ball 26 times, but his increased workload was likely a direct product of the Rams taking large leads over the Jaguars and Saints. They're expected to play a much closer game against the Niners, leaving fewer opportunities for depth players like Corum to touch the ball. In fact, when the Rams and 49ers last played against each other in Week 5, Corum had just one touch on a season-low nine percent snap share. His recent efficiency (4.46 YPC last week) should earn him more than one touch this time around, but his double-digit touch totals from the last two weeks might be out of reach. He should continue to be left on fantasy benches as a mere handcuff behind Williams.

Deebo Samuel Nov 8 2:40pm ET
Deebo Samuel

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has had a few down weeks after a hot start to the season. Samuel has posted just 12 catches for 67 yards on 17 targets to go with three carries for three yards over his past three games. The veteran missed Washington's Week 7 matchup in Dallas due to a heel injury, which could be impacting his performance. Samuel will be without second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for a few weeks, which will likely hurt Samuel's production a bit. In Marcus Mariota's three starts, Samuel has still been solid and leads the team in targets (15) and receptions (11), but is third in receiving yards (94) and has scored one touchdown. Samuel has a solid matchup in Week 10 against a Lions defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers. Samuel ranks as RotoBaller's WR21 in PPR leagues for Sunday.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Nov 8 2:20pm ET
Marvin Harrison Jr.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is coming off one of the best games of his career in Week 9's win over the Dallas Cowboys, catching seven of his 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown. The seven receptions marked a career high for Harrison, while the 96 yards were his most since Week 4 against the Seahawks. The second-year wideout has benefited from having Jacoby Brissett as the starting quarterback and should continue to see better fantasy days moving forward. The 23-year-old has totaled 31 catches for 492 yards and three touchdowns on 50 targets in eight games this season. Harrison has a tougher matchup against a good Seahawks defense, but he performed well against them earlier this year, and his value is on the rise after a strong Week 9 performance. Harrison is ranked as RotoBaller's WR11 in PPR leagues for Week 10.

Tyler Allgeier Nov 8 2:20pm ET
Tyler Allgeier

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was a non-factor last week after the Falcons got down early, recording just two rushes for six yards. The 25-year-old now has 11 rushes for 30 yards and one touchdown in the team's last four losses, compared to 42 rushes for 159 yards and three touchdowns in their three wins. Unless the Falcons can keep Week 10's matchup close, Allgeier could be an afterthought again. Atlanta is a 6.5-point underdogversusthe Colts in Germany on Sunday, and with the fourth-year pro having basically no involvement in the passing game, he's a touchdown-dependent RB4/Flex play this week with very little upside and a near-zero floor.

From RotoBaller

Kyren Williams Nov 8 2:20pm ET
Kyren Williams

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams remains a must-start fantasy option in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers as he looks to build on a successful first half of the 2025 season. Williams has 586 rushing yards, 166 receiving yards, and six touchdowns so far, ranking as the overall RB13 in PPR leagues. On paper, a matchup against the 49ers could pose a challenge for running backs, as San Francisco ranks near the middle of the league in fantasy points allowed to the position. They've also surrendered the seventh-fewest rushing touchdowns to running backs. However, Williams didn't see that level of shutdown defense when the 49ers faced the Rams in Week 5. During that matchup, the 25-year-old had 14 carries, 65 rushing yards, eight catches, 66 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns. His 32.1 points (PPR) represented a season-high. Williams will look to repeat his success against a banged-up 49ers defense this week, and he should continue to be deployed as an RB1 in most leagues.
