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.

Five Fantasy Takeaways: Week 10

Player Notes
Kareem Hunt Nov 11 8:40am CT
Kareem Hunt

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had a solid Week 9 with 11 carries for 49 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Bills. He picked up more work with Isiah Pacheco (knee) on the sidelines, but it is possible that Pacheco will return in Week 11 against the Broncos. Hunt has six touchdowns on the season and four scores in the last five weeks. The Broncos have been a tough matchup for running backs this season, but Hunt has touchdown-dependent upside if you are looking for running back help or are desperate for a flex play this week.

Jonathan Greenard Nov 11 8:30am CT
Jonathan Greenard

The Minnesota Vikings believe edge rusher Jonathan Greenard (shoulder) avoided a serious injury during a Week 10 game against Baltimore, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. The 2024 Pro Bowler departed the game against the Ravens and did not return, but it appears as if he will have a chance to play as early as this week. O'Connell said Greenard is on track to return to practice, though it seems likely he will carry an injury designation when the team releases its first injury report of the week on Wednesday. Managers in IDP leagues can hold for now, but should make alternate plans for Week 11 in case the injury prevents Greenard from suiting up against the Chicago Bears.

Jordan Love Nov 11 12:10am CT
Jordan Love

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 20 of 36 passes for 176 yards and a lost fumble to go with five carries for 28 yards in a 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Love and the Packers offense couldn't get anything going on Monday night. The 176 passing yards marked the lowest of the season, and Love has now posted back-to-back games with below double-digit fantasy points. The 27-year-old certainly missed the presence of his star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), plus dynamic rookie wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder), and then top receiver Romeo Doubs also left the game early with a chest injury. The Green Bay running game was stuck in the mud all game and didn't help set up Love in favorable down-and-distance situations, but he made plenty of mistakes as well. Love will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the New York Giants.

Jalen Hurts Nov 11 12:00am CT
Jalen Hurts

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 183 yards and a touchdown to go with five carries for 27 yards and a lost fumble in a 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Hurts wasn't the most dynamic in this game as the Eagles struggled to consistently move the ball, and while he did lose a fumble on a rushing attempt on a solid opening drive, he did well to avoid mistakes otherwise. The 27-year-old didn't take a sack all night against a vaunted Packers pass rush, his first game without one since Week 8 of last season. Hurts managed the game for the most part while the Philadelphia defense dominated, but he made his best throw of the night on a 36-yard touchdown to DeVonta Smith. Hurts and the Eagles could be in for a shootout next week when they take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.

Saquon Barkley Nov 10 11:50pm CT
Saquon Barkley

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley recorded 22 carries for 60 yards and added three receptions (three targets) for 41 yards in Monday night's 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers. It was a struggle for Barkley and the Philadelphia offense all night, as he averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, and even his 41 receiving yards came entirely on one reception. It was a disappointing performance for the 28-year-old after having his best game of the season before the bye in Week 8 against the Giants, totaling 174 yards and two touchdowns. He did tweak his groin in that game, but was cleared from the injury report earlier this week. Barkley has already posted five games with fewer than four yards per carry this season after having just two such games all of last season. His involvement as a receiver this season has at least helped offset the lack of breakaway runs, with 27 receptions through nine games compared to 33 in 16 games last year. Barkley will look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions.

DeVonta Smith Nov 10 11:30pm CT
DeVonta Smith

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of his six targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in a 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. Smith was one of the few bright spots for Philadelphia in an otherwise ugly offensive performance. His 36-yard touchdown catch was the highlight play of the game, as he beat the safety over the top and then elevated to secure the contested grab. The 27-year-old has been on a tear recently, recording 31 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns on 41 targets over his last five games, averaging 18.6 PPR points per game. Smith will look to continue his strong production in Week 11 on Sunday Night Football against the Detroit Lions.

Josh Jacobs Nov 10 11:20pm CT
Josh Jacobs

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs recorded 21 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches (six targets) for 33 yards in Monday night's 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was an ugly offensive performance for both teams, and Jacobs had another inefficient outing on the ground. The 27-year-old is averaging just 3.8 yards per carry this season, which would be the second-lowest in a season for his career. Jacobs continues to be a touchdown machine, however, scoring for the sixth consecutive game. His 11 touchdowns are second only to Colts superstar running back Jonathan Taylor. Jacobs' fantasy production continues to rely heavily on volume, and it was encouraging to see his involvement in the passing game, as his five catches matched a season high. Jacobs will remain a solid RB1 for Week 11 against the New York Giants.

From RotoBaller

Romeo Doubs Nov 10 10:00pm CT
Romeo Doubs

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (chest) is questionable to return to his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a chest injury. Doubs recorded one catch for five yards on four targets before getting hurt. If he is unable to return, Packers wideouts Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson are the most likely candidates to lead the team in targets and playing time the rest of the way. Doubs has been Green Bay's most consistent wide receiver so far this season, so his absence would be a significant loss for the team. Entering Week 10, the Packers were already without wide receivers Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot).

Malik Washington Nov 10 10:00pm CT
Malik Washington

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded just two catches for nine yards on three targets in Week 10, but he also managed to haul in his second touchdown grab in his last three games played. Washington has emerged as the clear number two wide receiver in Miami since star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) was lost for the season with a knee injury in Week 4. In the six games since Hill went down, Washington has recorded 22 catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets. The 24-year-old also plays a small role in the running game, rushing for 18 yards on four attempts over the last two weeks. Washington may not have a crazy upside, but he should provide a stable target floor heading into a highly favorable Week 11 matchup against the Washington Commanders. In deep fantasy leagues, he could be a decent flex option for managers to target off the waiver wire.

Jalen Nailor Nov 10 9:50pm CT
Jalen Nailor

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor had his best game of the season in Week 10, recording five catches for 124 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 27-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Nailor remains stuck behind star wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison on the Vikings' wide receiver depth chart. However, Nailor seems to have some degree of chemistry with Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy. In the four games McCarthy has started this season, Nailor has been targeted 18 times. The Vikings now have a very favorable matchup in Week 11 when they host the Chicago Bears. In deep fantasy leagues, Nailor could be worth adding off the waiver wire.

Olamide Zaccheaus Nov 10 9:40pm CT
Olamide Zaccheaus

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus was held in check by the New York Giants in Week 10, recording one catch for five yards on four targets. Still, the 28-year-old continues to play a consistent role in Chicago's offense. Zaccheaus has played at least 57% of the Bears' offensive snaps in six out of the team's last seven games. For the season, he's recorded 32 catches for 248 yards and a touchdown on 50 targets. Between wide receivers Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, and Luther Burden III, there's plenty of target competition for Zaccheaus in Chicago. Still, Zaccheaus has recorded at least six targets in four out of his last six games played. In deep fantasy leagues, he could be worth adding off the waiver wire.

Sterling Shepard Nov 10 9:30pm CT
Sterling Shepard

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard had a quiet game in his team's 28-23 Week 10 loss to the New England Patriots, recording three catches for 20 yards on four targets. The 32-year-old has now failed to crack 25 receiving yards in three straight contests, even with veteran Bucs wideouts Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin (leg) sidelined. Rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson appears to have surpassed Shepard on Tampa Bay's wide receiver depth chart. Johnson has out-snapped and out-produced Shepard in two straight games. Still, Godwin may remain sidelined for Tampa Bay's Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, which keeps the door open for Shepard. He could be worth adding in deep fantasy leagues heading into Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Joe Flacco Nov 10 9:20pm CT
Joe Flacco

Since taking over as the Cincinnati Bengals' starting quarterback in Week 6, Joe Flacco has put up gaudy statistics. Across four starts, Flacco has thrown for 1,254 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Bengals opened up quarterback Joe Burrow's (toe) 21-day Injured Reserve activation window on Monday, but Burrow is reportedly targeting Thanksgiving as a return date. A Thanksgiving return for Burrow would give Flacco two more starts under center in Cincinnati, starting with a trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 11. Flacco torched Pittsburgh back in Week 7, throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns. In fantasy leagues where Flacco may have been dropped during Cincinnati's Week 10 bye, he could be worth adding as a low-end QB1 option in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Jayden Reed Nov 10 8:50pm CT
Jayden Reed

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) is currently working his way back to the field. Reed was recently spotted at practice doing some light work. The 25-year-old has been out since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Despite that, Reed could be back in the near future. He still hasn't returned to practice with pads, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play in Week 11. However, Reed could be worth stashing on the IR for fantasy managers who have a spot available. Reed might still miss a few more games, but could be a decent contributor once he's healthy. Reed might be a nice addition to fantasy rosters right around playoff time.

Calvin Austin III Nov 10 8:50pm CT
Calvin Austin III

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hasn't posted great stats this season, but does have some good things going for him. In Week 10, Austin hauled in two of his seven targets for 14 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Austin tied fellow wideout DK Metcalf for the team lead with seven targets during that game. The 26-year-old has seen six or more targets in three straight games. Austin hasn't posted excellent stats during those games, but is getting the ball thrown his way more often. That being said, Austin could be someone worth looking at for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Austin might be able to do some damage against that struggling secondary.

Joe Burrow Nov 10 8:20pm CT
Joe Burrow

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is inching his way closer to returning to the field. Burrow had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday and will practice in limited capacity. Despite that, the Bengals have already ruled out Burrow for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It sounds like Burrow is aiming to get back on the field for the Thanksgiving matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. It's worth noting that the Bengals sit at 3-6 with Joe Flacco likely drawing two more starts. If they lose both games, the Bengals might elect to hold out Burrow for the rest of the season. For now, it sounds like Burrow is aiming to play on Thanksgiving, but a lot could change over the next few weeks.

Luther Burden III Nov 10 8:10pm CT
Luther Burden III

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III hasn't seen a ton of success during the first half of his rookie season. In Week 10, Burden hauled in all three of his targets for 51 yards in the win over the New York Giants. That outing was actually one of Burden's better games this season. Afterwards, head coach Ben Johnson hinted that Burden is going to see more targets going forward. He continued by saying Burden is getting more comfortable with both the coaching staff and his teammates each week. The Bears do have a lot of mouths to feed on offense, so it's not shocking to see Burden having a limited role. It seems like the Bears plan to get Burden more involved, but fantasy managers should wait and see what happens. The 21-year-old is certainly worth stashing, but isn't anything more than a flex option for Week 11.

Sam LaPorta Nov 10 7:50pm CT
Sam LaPorta

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta had a modest outing in his team's Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders, recording five catches for 53 yards on five targets. The 24-year-old has now hauled in 40 receptions for 489 yards and three scores on 49 targets across nine games this season. Other than failing to score a touchdown, LaPorta's showing in Week 10 should be considered another step in the right direction from a fantasy perspective. After failing to earn five targets or five receptions in three out of the first four weeks of 2025, LaPorta has now hit both those marks in four out of his last five games played. As long as he can stay healthy, LaPorta should remain a consistent feature in the Lions' passing game. He faces a tough matchup in Week 11 when Detroit travels to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Nov 10 7:40pm CT
Amon-Ra St. Brown

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown saw his fewest targets (eight) in a game since Week 4 in his team's 44-22 Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. However, St. Brown remained productive, recording five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 64 receptions for 693 yards and eight touchdowns on 82 targets across nine games so far this season. Even with fellow Lions wideout Jameson Williams getting more involved in the offense in recent weeks, St. Brown is the clear top option in the passing game for Detroit quarterback Jared Goff. The Lions have a difficult road matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but St. Brown still profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver.

From RotoBaller

David Montgomery Nov 10 7:30pm CT
David Montgomery

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery recorded 15 carries for 71 yards and punched in a successful two-point conversion try in his team's 44-22 Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. The 28-year-old has now rushed for 466 yards and five touchdowns on 104 attempts across nine games so far this season. With 14 catches for 106 yards and zero receiving touchdowns, Montgomery has seen minimal usage in the Lions' passing game. He also has a limited ceiling in terms of total touches as long as fellow Detroit running back Jahmyr Gibbs remains healthy. As a result, Montgomery is almost entirely dependent on touchdown scoring for fantasy production, even when he has an efficient rushing day like he did in Week 10. Montgomery may be tough for fantasy managers to trust in a tough Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
