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.
Value Picks: Week 10
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson caught all four of his targets for 92 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Carolina Panthers. The highlight of Johnson's game was a 30-yard touchdown reception that extended New Orleans' lead to multiple possessions. It was a bit unclear how top receivers like Johnson and Chris Olave would perform in rookie quarterback Tyler Shough's second career start, but both pass catchers turned in big outings while strengthening their rapport with the Louisville product. Johnson has been a pleasant surprise in fantasy football this year, ranking as the overall TE6 in PPR leagues with 43 catches, 491 yards, and a trio of scores. He should continue to be started in all leagues on the other side of the Saints' Week 11 bye.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 28 of his 40 pass attempts for 306 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 loss against the Miami Dolphins. He also rushed for 31 yards, took three sacks, and lost a fumble. The loss and two turnovers are a major blemish on Allen's 2025 statistics, but he offered his fantasy managers some relief with two touchdowns and over 300 yards. For the most part, managers won't care whether the Bills win or lose, as long as their quarterback continues to post solid fantasy performances. Nevertheless, he'll look to clean things up ahead of Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Allen should still be trusted as a strong QB1 in fantasy football.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (ankle) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. He is officially listed as questionable to return, but it seems unlikely he gets back into the game since Arizona trails by multiple scores in the waning minutes. If Knight's day is indeed done, he finishes Week 10 with 10 carries for 28 rushing yards. He also converted four targets into just one catch for an additional five receiving yards. It was a relatively inefficient outing for the 24-year-old and could cost him some opportunities heading into Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. Emari Demercado, who has more than 180 scrimmage yards over the last two games, could poach some of Knight's volume. Demercado remains the most intriguing Arizona running back in fantasy football, ranking as an RB3/flex. Knight falls into the RB4 tier.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that "he's sticking with [quarterback] Dillon Gabriel and will continue to coach him up" ahead of Week 11 versus the Baltimore Ravens, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Gabriel completed 17 of 32 passes for 167 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. He also showcased significant mobility late in the game, adding five rushing attempts for 54 rushing yards. The rookie had a decent day in terms of scoring, limiting turnovers, and running the ball, but he'll need to improve on his completion rate and total yardage. Nevertheless, Stefanski sees enough potential in the Oregon product to keep him involved in the first-team offense going forward. He'll rank as a low-end QB2 with the potential to rack up garbage-time points against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (back) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. He is officially listed as questionable to return, but it seems unlikely that he plays any more snaps with Los Angeles leading by multiple possessions in the waning minutes. If Adams' day is indeed done, he finishes with six catches, 77 yards, and a touchdown. The veteran receiver led the team in yards and was one of four players to haul in a touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford. He will continue to rank as a strong WR1 option in fantasy football ahead of next week's game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Detroit Lions. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had six carries for 16 rushing yards and a touchdown, sharing work with Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols. As long as this backfield continues to operate out of a committee, all three backs will be tough to trust in fantasy football. Managers who roster any of the three running backs should stay tuned for updates on Rodriguez, as his status will impact the backfield split in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins.

Washington Commanders DT Daron Payne was ejected in the second quarter against the Detroit Lions in Week 10 after throwing a punch at WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Dynasty | Falcons receiver Drake London had six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown in Atlanta's week ten loss to the Colts. Dynasty Analysis: London is putting together a career year and clearly has something clicking with Michael Penix Jr. While the game results haven't been there very often for the Falcons, you can't blame London, who is pushing for top-5 receiver status in dynasty leagues at this point. The buying window on London has clearly closed.
Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen caught two passes for 16 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. He was targeted three times during the game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka bounced back in a big way during Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. He got the fun started early with a 21-yard touchdown grab on the Bucs opening drive. Egbuka continues to be a focal point on this Bucs offense that is extremely shorthanded. The rookie wideout hauled in six of his 13 targets for 115 yards and a score in the loss. It's unclear if the Bucs will get any reinforcements ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Regardless, Egbuka should remain a big factor in this offense going forward.

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones rushed for 47 yards and one touchdown on nine carries against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. He also caught three passes for 22 yards during the game.
Fantasy Spin: Jones was dealing with injuries leading up to the game but received most of the carries in the running game and was able to reach the end zone. He will probably see a few more carries next week and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
From TheHuddle
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was able to come up huge for his team during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. His biggest play of the game was a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Olave would finish his day by hauling in five of his eight targets for 104 yards and one score in the victory. It appears the fourth-year wideout is building solid chemistry with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. This was a promising performance from Olave as fantasy managers are hopeful for more big games like this from Olave going forward. Sadly, fantasy managers will have to wait until Week 12 as the Saints head into a bye week.

Houston Texans RB Nick Chubb ran a season low-tying five times for 47 yards and a catch for five yards in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Spin: Chubb had nine fewer carries than Woody Marks in this one after tallying double-digit carries in six of his first eight games. Could this be the beginning of Marks taking over the bulk of the work in the Houston backfield? Head coach DeMeco Ryans hasn't veered from his game plan all season, so don't expect him to change now.
From TheHuddle
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was all over the field during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Collins made some huge catches for the Texans in this one, including a one-handed two-point conversion. He hauled in seven of his 15 targets for 136 yards in the comeback victory. This was the first time that Collins has finished with over 100 receiving yards since Week 3, which was also against the Jags. Collins has posted back-to-back seven-catch performances as he heads into a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets running back Breece Hall was a huge factor during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He rushed the ball 21 times for 83 yards on the ground, but his biggest play came through the air. Hall took a screen pass for a 42-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to help get his team the victory. This is now back-to-back strong fantasy performances from Hall who was sluggish there for a few games. The Jets are going to need him now more than ever with Garrett Wilson (knee) exiting this game. It's unclear if Wilson will be ready to go in time for the quick turnaround with a Thursday night matchup against the New England Patriots.

Arizona Cardinals WR Zay Jones (Achilles) left the Week 10 game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an Achilles injury, and he will not return.
Fantasy Spin: Jones was ruled out almost immediately, which is certainly indicative of a serious injury. When healthy, Jones' fantasy value is limited to the deepest of leagues.
From TheHuddle
Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews caught three passes for 14 yards and one touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. He was targeted five times during the game.
Fantasy Spin: Andrews has been held to under 25 yards in four of his last five games but does have three touchdowns in his last two games. He will see a handful of targets next week against the Cleveland Browns and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some deeper leagues.
From TheHuddle
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor has been a non-factor in the offense until this weekend. Nailor came out of nowhere and posted an epic performance against the Baltimore Ravens. He hauled in five of his six targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The 26-year-old snagged a 10-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter as the Vikings attempted to make a comeback. It marked his second touchdown of the season, as Nailor hasn't seen a ton of action outside of this performance. Hopefully, this will be a sign of more good things to come for Nailor as the Vikings take on the Chicago Bears in Week 11.
From RotoBaller
Baltimore Ravens WR DeAndre Hopkins caught two passes for 16 yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. He was targeted three times during the game.
Fantasy Spin: Hopkins had a productive start to the season but has been held to 20 yards or less in six of his last seven games. He will see a few targets next week but should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.
From TheHuddle
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed 20 of his 36 pass attempts for 220 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 10 win over the New York Giants. He also had 28 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Both of Williams' touchdowns came in the fourth quarter, capping off an impressive comeback win in messy weather at home. The 23-year-old did a good job spreading the ball around, and the Bears leaned on the passing attack more than expected, especially with Kyle Monangai and D'Andre Swift both healthy. Williams continues to rank as a solid fantasy QB1 in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings.
