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
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.

Jimmy Horn Jr. Nov 7 9:50pm ET
Jimmy Horn Jr.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. hasn't made much of an impact on the field in recent weeks. Last week, Horn hauled in one of his two targets for one yard, while rushing the ball once for seven yards in the win over the Green Bay Packers. The good news is, Horn saw 24 percent of the offensive snaps during that game. That is the most time Horn has played on offense since his season debut in Week 5. It's possible that Horn does take snaps away from Jalen Coker who has been quiet since making his season debut in Week 7. For now, Horn isn't a viable streaming option, but is someone to watch in dynasty formats.

Sam LaPorta Nov 7 9:50pm ET
Sam LaPorta

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta had his best game of the 2025 season in Week 9, recording six catches for 97 yards and a touchdown on eight targets against the Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old's production has been trending upwards in recent weeks. Across his last four outings, LaPorta has hauled in 19 catches for 259 yards and three touchdowns on 23 targets. He appears to be emerging as the clear number two option in the Detroit passing game behind star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. LaPorta has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19) through nine weeks. LaPorta profiles as a clear starting-caliber fantasy tight end in Week 10.

David Montgomery Nov 7 9:50pm ET
David Montgomery

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery broke his two-game scoreless streak in Week 9, recording 50 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 12 touches against the Minnesota Vikings. However, Montgomery also coughed up a crucial fumble that played a key role in Detroit's loss to its division rival. The veteran has a lot of equity built up with the Lions coaching staff, so it's unlikely that the mistake will cost him playing time in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Montgomery has seen fairly consistent usage so far this season, recording between 12 and 15 touches in five out of eight games played. He remains largely dependent on touchdowns for high-end fantasy production. The Commanders have allowed an average of 33.8 points per game over the last four weeks, so Montgomery should have a decent chance to find the end zone. He profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 10 against Washington.

Jameson Williams Nov 7 9:40pm ET
Jameson Williams

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded just 21 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets across eight games in 2025. However, the 24-year-old has quietly been more productive of late. Williams has recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three outings. He'll get a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19) through nine weeks. They will also be without top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee), who suffered a torn ACL in Week 9. Williams still has bust potential, but he could be set up for a boom week against Washington. Williams profiles as a solid fantasy WR3/flex option in Week 10.

Christian Watson Nov 7 9:40pm ET
Christian Watson

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were both limited participants during Friday's practice session. Watson recently made his season debut in Week 8, so he's still working his way back into a full workload. The Packers are likely limiting him in practice as a precaution. Barring any setbacks, Watson should be out there for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wicks has missed the last two games due to a lingering calf issue. He has been limited in both practice sessions to begin the week, which points to him being active on Monday. Fellow wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) is unlikely to play, so Wicks could see an expanded role.

From RotoBaller

Taysom Hill Nov 7 9:30pm ET
Taysom Hill

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill has seen a minimal role in the offense since making his season debut in Week 5. Last week, Hill rushed the ball four times for 30 yards in their loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Normally, Hill doesn't see a ton of the field, but that could change in Week 10. Lead back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is currently questionable to suit up against the Carolina Panthers this weekend. That means, Devin Neal could be in line to start if Kamara is unable to go. It could also mean that Hill sees increased carries in the backfield. Fantasy managers should monitor Kamara's status and if he sits out then Hill could become a desperation option for this weekend.

From RotoBaller

Amon-Ra St. Brown Nov 7 9:30pm ET
Amon-Ra St. Brown

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been one of the NFL's most consistent players at the position so far this season. The 26-year-old has recorded 59 catches for 635 yards and seven touchdowns on 74 targets across eight games played. He's earned double-digit targets in each of Detroit's last three contests, and he's logged at least six catches and 70 receiving yards in every game but two in 2025. St. Brown gets a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). Making matters worse, top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 9. St. Brown profiles as a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 10.

Hunter Long Nov 7 9:30pm ET
Hunter Long

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Hunter Long (hip, knee) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Houston Texans. Long won't be able to play this weekend after missing practice time due to multiple injuries. This is a tough break for the Jags who are still without Brenton Strange (quad) right now. It looks like Johnny Mundt and Quintin Morris will fill in at the tight end spot this weekend. Neither player is worth a look as a streaming option for Week 10.

From RotoBaller

Kyle Williams Nov 7 9:20pm ET
Kyle Williams

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams is expected to have an expanded role for the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The third-round pick hasn't made much of an impact this season, but they could change soon. Fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game. That means, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas should be the primary wideouts. However, Williams should be in the mix as well after playing a season-high 46 percent of the offensive snaps last week. Williams has only two receptions on the season, so fantasy managers shouldn't pencil him into their lineups. Williams should be rostered in dynasty leagues and is someone to keep an eye on in deep leagues if Boutte misses more time.

From RotoBaller

Jahmyr Gibbs Nov 7 9:10pm ET
Jahmyr Gibbs

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had one of the least productive games of his career in Week 9, recording just 28 yards from scrimmage on 12 touches in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 23-year-old has been much better for the season overall with 748 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 142 touches across eight games. Gibbs will be looking to rebound in Week 10 when Detroit faces the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks 22nd in yards per carry allowed (4.4) and 25th in total rushing yards allowed (1,118). Despite the favorable matchup, there is reason for concern along the Lions' offensive line. Detroit will be without starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg), and starting left tackle Taylor Decker is questionable to play due to a shoulder injury. Even still, Gibbs profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 10.

From RotoBaller

Davis Mills Nov 7 9:10pm ET
Davis Mills

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills will start in Week 10 against the Jaguars in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion). The veteran backup has been with the Texans since 2021, but this will be his first start since 2022. He completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 137 passing yards last week against the Broncos, and he should have all his receivers available with Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, and Dalton Schultz all without injury designations coming into the weekend. Mills will likely be asked to manage the game while the team relies on the strength of its defense to carry it against the Jags. Mills is the QB26 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 10, though, so he's not a good fantasy option in his spot start.

Jared Goff Nov 7 9:00pm ET
Jared Goff

Through eight games so far this season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 1,915 yards, 17 touchdowns, and three interceptions. The 31-year-old has tossed multiple touchdown passes in five out of eight contests and is currently averaging eight yards per pass attempt. In Week 10, Goff gets a favorable matchup on paper against the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). The Commanders also lost top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9. If there's reason for concern for Goff, it's the Lions' struggles on the offensive line. Goff has been sacked 14 times over his last four games after taking just four sacks over his first four outings. Still, Goff profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 against Washington in Week 10.

Greg Dulcich Nov 7 8:50pm ET
Greg Dulcich

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich just joined the Dolphins a few weeks ago and didn't have a catch until Week 9, but he could be the team's top tight end in Week 10 against the Bills. Darren Waller (pec) is on IR, Julian Hill (ankle) is questionable after missing Week 8, and Tanner Conner was waived on Thursday. Hill and Dulcich will likely split the workload, since it wouldn't make sense to release Conner if Hill wasn't ready to get back into action. Dulcich could be the top pass-catching tight end, though, since he made a strong impression with five catches on five targets last week against the Ravens for 49 yards. Since the Dolphins are desperate for pass-catching playmakers, Dulcich should stay involved against the Bills. He's only the No. 32 TE this week, so he's a very high-risk flier, but he does have some upside and a clear path to some playing time against Buffalo, which has been very good against tight ends overall this season.

From RotoBaller

Julian Hill Nov 7 8:50pm ET
Julian Hill

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) missed the last two weeks with an ankle injury and is questionable for Week 10. He put in limited practices this week, though, and he seems to be on track to return since the team parted ways with Tanner Conner, who was filling in while Hill was out. If he's ready to return, Hill would likely share time at tight end with Greg Dulcich, with Dulcich handling pass-catching and Hill most of the blocking responsibilities. Hill only had 10 catches for 77 scoreless yards in his seven games this year, and he's not usually involved as a receiver. Hill will likely get playing time if healthy, but he's not much of a fantasy option this week. If he's out, Dulcich would have an even higher ceiling as the more full-time tight end.

David Njoku Nov 7 8:40pm ET
David Njoku

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku will come out of his bye to take on the New York Jets on the road in Week 10. Njoku's bye came at a good time as he was dealing with a knee issue before Week 9. The veteran tight end appears to be fully over the issue as he is listed without an injury designation heading into his matchup against New York. The Jets have been average against tight ends this season, allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to the position. The Browns could possibly be without Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring), who was limited in practice on Friday with a hamstring injury. If Fannin doesn't end up playing, Njoku would be a solid mid-range TE1 in fantasy leagues. If Fannin ultimately suits up, Njoku checks in as more of a low-end TE1.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Nov 7 8:40pm ET
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Miami Dolphins Nick Westbrook-Ikhine continues to operate as the team's third receiver behind Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington. He has drawn a total of 11 targets over the last three weeks while playing over 65% of snaps each week. He had two catches for 22 yards against the Ravens in Week 9, which was actually his best yardage production of the season. He hasn't been able to put up big totals in the dink and dunk offense of the Dolphins, and that doesn't seem likely to change in Week 10 against the Bills. He brings a little touchdown-dependent upside, but he's only the No. 70 WR in RotoBaller's rankings, so there are probably better options available in most formats.

Harold Fannin Jr. Nov 7 8:40pm ET
Harold Fannin Jr.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) missed practice on Thursday and was limited in Friday's session ahead of a Week 10 road matchup against the New York Jets. Fannin was on bye in Week 9, so it is unclear when exactly the rookie picked up the ailment. Officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game, Fannin would go up against a Jets defense that is allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends if he ultimately ends up playing. If Fannin is unable to give it a go, David Njoku would see an increased workload and could be treated as a solid mid-range TE1 in fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers counting on Fannin will want to monitor the news leading up to kickoff at 1:00 PM EST on Sunda,y as he could end up as a game-time decision. If Fannin plays, he will be on the fantasy radar as a solid TE2.
