Jaylon Moore gets the job done for the Chiefs despite last-minute notice

Details
14 October 2025

Jaylon Moore welcomed his third child, a girl they named Selah, early Sunday morning. The Chiefs swing tackle had no idea he would be in the starting lineup only a few hours later.

Rookie left tackle Josh Simmons left the team hours before kickoff to return to his hometown of San Diego for personal reasons.

Moore allowed three pressures and a sack in 40 pass-blocking snaps, per Nate Taylor of ESPN, protecting Patrick Mahomes' blindside against Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson.

"I have all the faith in the world in Jaylon," Mahomes said after the game, via Taylor. "He came here to do what he did today, go out and be up against one of the premier pass rushers in the league and handle his own. That speaks to his professionalism, getting better and better through work throughout the week and being prepared to play at any moment. He went out there and showcased the type of player that he is."

The Chiefs have had a carousel of left tackles in recent seasons and played four last season with Kingsley Suamataia, Wanya Morris, D.J. Humphries and Joe Thuney all playing there. Mahomes was sacked a career-high six times in Super Bowl LIX.

The Chiefs went into the offseason vowing to shore up the position, and they did.

Moore, 27, signed a two-year, $30 million deal with the Chiefs in free agency only to be supplanted by Simmons a month later when they drafted the Ohio State offensive tackle in the first round. Moore spent most of training camp splitting snaps at left guard, right guard and right tackle.

He got it done at left tackle on Sunday, which was a big deal for the Chiefs.

"It was big having my teammates have my back. That was huge for me," Moore said. "The biggest thing for me is earning the trust of my teammates, just to know that whenever my number is called upon I'll be ready and there's no need to worry."

Browns WR David Bell announces his retirement

14 October 2025

Browns receiver David Bell announced his retirement on Tuesday.

Bell, a 2022 third-round pick, was placed on the reserve/retired list.

“Several months ago, I was blindsided by an off-field injury that was beyond my control, which put my football future in jeopardy,” Bell wrote in a social media post. “After consulting with medical experts and praying, I accept that continuing to play football would literally risk life and limb. Although it is the last thing I would otherwise want to do, with a heavy heart, I am announcing my retirement.”

Bell appeared in 32 games with six starts for Cleveland over the previous three seasons. He missed nearly all of 2024 due to a hip injury suffered in Week 2.

Additionally, the Browns have signed cornerback Tre Avery to the 53-man roster from the club’s practice squad.

Linebacker Eugene Asante and defensive tackle Simeon Barrow Jr. were signed to the practice squad and offensive tackle Joshua Miles has been released from the practice squad.

Fantasy Football Blog: How will firing of Brian Callahan impact Cam Ward, rest of the Titans' offense?

Details
14 October 2025

After starting the 2025 NFL season 1-5, the Tennessee Titans made a significant move to start Week 7, firing head coach Brian Callahan. He'll finish his tenure in Tennessee with a combined record of 4-19 over the span of two seasons. With this move, there are obvious fantasy football implications. Matt Harmon and Justin Boone break things down on the latest episode of The Yahoo Fantasy Forecast podcast. 

The last 4 QBs taken first overall have seen their first head coach fired during their rookie season.

- 2021 Trevor Lawrence and Urban Meyer
- 2023 Bryce Young and Frank Reich
- 2024 Caleb Williams and Matt Eberflus
- 2025 Cam Ward and Brian Callahan https://t.co/pEzOqnuuBV

— Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) October 13, 2025

Entering Week 7, the Titans offense ranks 31st in points per game (13.8) and 32nd in yards per game (232.3). There were some expectations of an improvement this season after drafting QB Cam Ward first overall in 2025. The team tried to shore up the offensive line and figured Ward would elevate the play of receiver Calvin Ridley and tight end Chig Okonkwo. Things haven't worked out and Boone now believes that there simply isn't any value left on Tennessee for fantasy purposes. 

RB Tony Pollard was brought in a season ago and is coming off over 1,000 rushing yards in 2024. He's been a disappointment so far this season and the best-case scenario for him, according to Boone, may be that the back is traded before the deadline. Rookie WR Elic Ayomanor and pass-catching back Tyjae Spears may get a boost but neither is a reliable fantasy asset. 

Harmon just doesn't see this as a very talented roster and both agree that things aren't going to get better this season with Callahan gone and Mike McCoy taking over as interim head coach. This could stunt the development of Ward as a QB and this could be rough the rest of the way.
