Fantasy football rankings for Week 10 of 2025 season

Sport 6 Mins Read

To assist with your most difficult lineup decisions, you’ll find Week 10 fantasy football rankings below (scroll to the bottom for complete rankings). Toggle between standard, half PPR (point per reception), and full PPR to see where players rank in your league’s format.

Our team at the USA TODAY Sports Network also has you covered for all your fantasy football needs. Looking for up-to-date player news? We’ve got it. Need to know who the best starts and sits of the week are? We have an article for that. We also have fantasy defense rankings, kicker rankings, and a trade value chart to help with all your trade decisions.

Given the volatility of this league and fantasy football in particular, these rankings will be updated up until a half hour before the Sunday afternoon games kick off. Let’s get to it.

(The sleepers and streamers sections will focus on players available in at least half of Yahoo leagues. All snap and target data from PFF.)

Week 10 fantasy football quarterback sleepers and streamers

  • Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy vs. Ravens – McCarthy might be the best widely-available add at the position. The 22-year-old has totaled 23.2 and 19.9 fantasy points in two of his three starts this season, and now he faces a Ravens defense that’s allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to the position.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers at Chargers – Rodgers has been the epitome of a floor play in 2025. To date, he has yet to post fewer than 12 fantasy points in a game, and he has also surpassed 16 in three of his last four outings. In Week 10, he’ll square off against a Chargers defense that’s allowed four quarterbacks to surpass 17 fantasy points against it.
  • Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota vs. Lions – A brutal injury to Jayden Daniels means that Mariota will be taking over at quarterback in Washington. The 32-year-old will face the Lions, who have ceded the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing signal-callers.

Week 10 fantasy football running back sleepers and streamers

  • New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings at Buccaneers – With Rhamondre Stevenson out last week, rookie TreVeyon Henderson played 75% of the snaps and racked up 19 opportunities. However, despite playing just 17 snaps, Jennings garnered 11 carries and one target, turning that volume into 44 total yards and a score. Jennings also received three of the backfield’s five red zone carries. With Stevenson ruled out this week, Jennings is in play against a Bucs defense that’s allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing running backs.
  • New York Giants RB Devin Singletary at Bears – Tyrone Tracy Jr. was widely expected to be the lead back following Cam Skattebo’s injury. Still, it was actually Singletary who led the team last week. The 28-year-old finished first in snaps (32 to 25) and opportunities (10 to 9), while running just four fewer routes (15 to 19). Singletary is a solid streamer in a decent matchup versus the Bears.
  • Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten at Texans (31%) – Last week, Tuten finished third behind Travis Etienne and LeQuint Allen Jr. in both snaps and routes. However, the rookie did finish fifth among all running backs with six red zone carries, and potential touchdown equity makes him a viable streaming option for desperate managers in deeper leagues, even in a tough matchup.

Week 10 fantasy football wide receiver sleepers and streamers

  • Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson vs. Patriots – Johnson was the clear WR2 on the Bucs in Week 8 with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin out of the lineup. The 23-year-old placed second on the team in snaps (41) and targets (6) while finishing tied for first in routes (41). With Godwin out of the lineup, Johnson is a top streaming option in a mediocre matchup.
  • Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson vs. Eagles – With tight end Tucker Kraft out for the season, Watson is suddenly very much on the fantasy radar. Kraft was the passing game’s primary threat for explosive plays, a role Watson will now have to fill. It’s worth noting that rookie wideout Matthew Golden is banged up, as well. The 26-year-old Watson is a high-upside sleeper against an Eagles secondary that’s surrendering the 10th-most yards per game to receivers.
  • Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce vs. Falcons – While he has yet to reach the end zone, Pierce has now racked up at least 67 receiving yards in five of his last six outings. The volume has been there as well, as the 25-year-old ranks fifth at the position in targets over the last three weeks. That kind of usage makes him an intriguing flex play, even against a Falcons team that’s allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points to wideouts in 2025.
  • New York Giants WR Darius Slayton at Bears – Slayton got an elite 90% snap share in Week 9, and that came with a serviceable 22% target share. Slayton ended up leading the team with 62 receiving yards and he’ll get a much friendlier draw this week. In Week 10, the Giants face a Bears team that’s allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts.

Week 10 fantasy football tight end sleepers and streamers

  • Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland vs. Giants – Loveland exploded against the Bengals last week, catching six of his seven targets for 118 yards and two scores. While he won’t get to face Cincinnati this week, the performance still puts him on the streaming radar. The Giants have ceded more than 16 half-PPR points to a tight end in two of their last four games.
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Cade Otton vs. Patriots – In Week 8, Otton played all but two snaps and finished third on the team in routes (22) and targets (5). That marked the fourth straight game in which Otton had garnered at least five targets. He’s a solid start against a Patriots defense that’s allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to the position this season.

Week 10 fantasy football defense (D/ST) sleepers and streamers

  • Jacksonville Jaguars D/ST at Texans – With C.J. Stroud out, the Texans will have to turn to Davis Mills at quarterback. In 26 career starts, Mills has thrown 24 picks, taken 59 sacks, and lost four fumbles. The Jaguars’ defense could feast this week.
  • Carolina Panthers D/ST vs. Saints – Only three teams have allowed more fantasy points to opposing defenses than the Saints. Over its last three contests, New Orleans’ opponents have totaled 10 sacks, six interceptions, four fumble recoveries, and one touchdown. Meanwhile, Carolina has ranked inside the top-10 in two of its last three games.

Week 10 fantasy football kicker sleepers and streamers

  • Chicago Bears K Cairo Santos vs. Giants
  • Buffalo Bills K Matt Prater at Dolphins

Eastern Washington fumbles spike try, falls short of upset vs Montana

Sport 2 Mins Read

Montana football, undefeated in Division I FCS, caught an all-time break against Eastern Washington on Saturday, Nov. 8.

Schakel fumbled the ball, losing his grip as he attempted to slam the ball into the ground to set up a final play for the game-winner. Eastern Washington recovered the ball, but the clock had already expired.

Montana ultimately avoided a scare against the 4-6 Eagles, improving to 10-0 in 2025.

In Schakel’s defense, Eastern Washington wouldn’t have been in a position to win if it wasn’t for the redshirt freshman quarterback. He completed 43 of 63 passes for 451 yards with two touchdowns to two interceptions on the day.

‘(Jake) stood in there and made a ton of plays, over and over again,’ Eastern Washington coach Aaron Best said after the game. ‘He stood the test of all the pressures and situations. That was a memorable one and our guys fought. They gave everything they had and that’s all we asked. We’ll bounce back and we’ll be better for it knowing we just took the number two team in the country toe-to-toe and five yards away from winning the game.’

Montana led 22-0 after the first quarter before Schakel and Eastern Washington mounted a comeback that fell just short. Eastern Washington made the score 29-24 with 61 seconds left after a Schakel touchdown throw. The Eagles then recovered the onside kick, setting up the potential game-winning drive.

EWU drove 44 yards in four plays before the fumbled spike attempt. They couldn’t quite pull off the upset with the late-game blunder, but may have found their quarterback of the future.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Quarterback Resources Scores with 160 Percent Gain

Investing 10 Mins Read

Statistics Canada released October’s job numbers on Friday (November 7). The data showed a surprise expansion of the Canadian labor market with the addition of 67,000 new jobs during the month, as well as a 0.2 percent drop in the unemployment rate to 6.9 percent.

This marks the second consecutive monthly increase, following 60,000 new workers entering the market in September. The gains over the two-month period also offset the cumulative 106,000 losses that were recorded in July and August.

The biggest gains came in the wholesale and retail trade sector, which added 40,700 new jobs; followed by transportation and warehousing, which added 29,500; and information, culture and recreation, which added 25,200.

The report comes just days after the federal Liberal Party tabled its first budget since winning the election in April. The budget estimates an initial deficit of C$78 billion in 2025-26, which would slowly decline to C$57 billion in 2030.

The budget places greater focus on nation-building, strengthening climate competitiveness, streamlining government activities and reducing annual operational costs by C$13 billion by 2029, while maintaining critical social supports.

Highlighting the budget is a promise for a C$51 billion investment over 10 years for local infrastructure projects and a C$81.8 billion over five years for defence spending C$72 billion of which will be new money.

On the mining side of the equation, the Mining Association of Canada said on Tuesday (November 4) that it applauds the budget for several measures aimed at the Canadian mining sector.

Among them, C$2 billion over five years will be directed to Natural Resources Canada to create the Critical Minerals Sovereign fund, which will be used to invest in critical mineral projects and companies.

The budget will also move the existing Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund into the new First and Last Mile Fund, which will focus investment into near-term projects to get them to production sooner, and provide tax measures so companies can write off capital investments more quickly.

The Mining Association also highlighted the proposed expansion of the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit to include an additional 12 minerals, including bismuth, cesium, manganese, tin and tungsten.

Additionally, the budget indicated that its focus on investing in clean technologies and carbon capture to reduce emissions would eventually render oil and gas emission caps unnecessary.

Top Canadian mining stocks this week

How did mining stocks perform against this backdrop?

Take a look at this week’s five best-performing Canadian mining stocks below.

Stocks data for this article was retrieved at 4:00 p.m. EST on Friday using TradingView’s stock screener. Only companies trading on the TSX, TSXV and CSE with market caps greater than C$10 million are included. Mineral companies within the non-energy minerals, energy minerals, process industry and producer manufacturing sectors were considered.

1. Quarterback Resources (CSE:QB)

Weekly gain: 160 percent
Market cap: C$11.36 million
Share price: C$1.3

Quarterback Resources is an exploration company focused on exploring the Twin gold property in Northwest British Columbia, Canada.

The project is located in the Omineca Mining District near Fort St. James, and consists of 16 mineral claims covering 11,110 hectares. The site has a history of mineral exploration dating back to the 1970s, including 109 drill holes.

Quarterback holds an option to acquire a 100 percent stake in the property through an earn-in agreement in exchange for C$800,000 in cash payments and C$4.74 million in exploration expenditures over a six-year period.

According to a technical report released in November 2024, the company relogged three of the historic holes from the Takla-Rainbow zone, with one hole returning a grade of 2.26 parts per million (ppm) gold, 2.15 ppm silver and 0.19 percent copper over 22.52 meters.

Shares in Quarterback were up significantly this week. Its most recent news came on Wednesday (November 5) when it filed its monthly progress report on the Canadian Securities Exchange website. The company noted that it was proceeding with a Phase 1 exploration program, which is planned to include LIDAR and induced polarization surveys.

2. Mont Royal Resources (TSXV:MRZL)

Weekly gain: 62.5 percent
Market cap: C$47.55 million
Share price: C$0.26

Mont Royal Resources is an Australia-based exploration company focused on a trio of projects in Québec, Canada. The company began trading on the TSXV on November 5 following a merger with Canada-based Commerce Resources.

The merger combined Commerce’s Ashram rare earth and flourspar project and Eldor niobium projects, with Mont Royal’s existing Northern Lights gold-copper-lithium project, all of which are located in Quebec.

In the October 22 news release announcing the completion of the merger, it stated its core focus would be on the Ashram rare earth and flourspar project and that the deal provided a compelling opportunity to establish a new source of rare earths in North America.

Ashram, located near Nunavik, Quebec, has received more than AU$50 million in investment for exploration activities, development studies and resource definition.

According to the project page, a mineral resource estimate from April 2024 produced an indicated resource grading 1.89 percent total rare earth oxides (TREO) and 6.6 percent fluorspar from 73.2 million metric tons of ore.

Although the company did not release project news this week, two of its projects contain minerals that were added to the CMETC as part of the fall budget.

3. Royalties Inc. (CSE:RI)

​Weekly gain: 38.46 percent
Market cap: C$11.36 million
Share price: C$0.09

Royalties is focused on building cash flow through the acquisition of mineral and music royalty assets.

The company has a 100 percent interest in the Bilbao silver property in Zacatecas, Mexico, which hosts silver, zinc and lead deposits. As silver prices improve, the company is seeking to monetize the property.

In June, the company reported that its subsidiary, Minera Portree, won its lawsuit against Capstone Copper (TSX:CS,OTC Pink:CSCCF), asserting its ownership of a 2 percent net smelter return royalty on five mineral concessions at the Cozamin copper-silver mine in Zacatecas.

The protracted legal dispute began after Capstone re-assigned the royalty to itself through a 2019 contract without informing or paying Minera Portree.

Under the terms of the judgment, the 2 percent NSR will revert back to Minera Portree along with royalties for the exploitation of concessions between 2002 and 2019. The amounts for those royalties will be set at the execution phase. Capstone Gold is also ordered to pay royalties from the Portree 1 concession from August 2019 to present.

​While Capstone appealed the decision, Royalties announced on Thursday (November 6) that an appellate court had upheld the original June decision, deeming the appellant’s arguments inoperative and inadmissible.​

4. Africa Energy (TSXV:AFE)

​Weekly gain: 31.82 percent
Market cap: C$64.69 million
Share price: C$0.145

Africa Energy is a South Africa-focused oil and gas exploration and development company.

Its flagship asset is Block 11B/12B located approximately 175 kilometers off the south coast of South Africa. The block covers an area of 18,734 square kilometers and depths between 200 meters and 1,800 meters.

It holds a 4.9 percent interest in the asset through its investment in Main Street 1549, a 49/51 joint venture with Arostyle Investments. The three other partners in the asset announced plans to withdraw from the Block 11B/12B joint venture in July 2024, and announced a definitive agreement for the new ownership structure of the Block 11B/12B asset in May of this year.

The restructuring would result in Africa Energy holding a 75 percent stake in the block, with Arostyle Investments holding the remaining 25 percent. This is contingent on the asset being granted the production rights, which requires approval of its environmental and social impact assessment.

Shares in Africa Energy were up this week. Its most recent news came on October 9, when it provided an operational update from Block 11B/12B. The company announced that it had been granted an extension to submit its environmental and social impact assessment until May 4, 2026.

5. Highland Critical Minerals (CSE:HLND)

Weekly gain: 26.87 percent
Market cap: C$79.73 million
Share price: C$4.25

Highland Critical Minerals is an exploration company focused on advancing its flagship Church lithium property in Ontario, Canada.

The project, located near Thunder Bay, Ontario, is situated within the Quetico region. A preliminary exploration program at the property conducted in August 2023 discovered five pegmatites hosting quartz, feldspar and muscovite and returned high lithium grades up to 3 percent lithium dioxide.

In addition to Church, Highland has been working to acquire other critical mineral properties, with the most recent announced on Friday. In the news release, the company said it had entered into a binding letter of intent to acquire mining claims covering 3,138.874 hectares in the Yathkyed Lake Greenstone Belt in Nunavut, Canada, expanding Highland’s critical mineral portfolio.

FAQs for Canadian mining stocks

What is the difference between the TSX and TSXV?

The TSX, or Toronto Stock Exchange, is used by senior companies with larger market caps, and the TSXV, or TSX Venture Exchange, is used by smaller-cap companies. Companies listed on the TSXV can graduate to the senior exchange.

How many mining companies are listed on the TSX and TSXV?

As of May 2025, there were 1,565 companies listed on the TSXV, 910 of which were mining companies. Comparatively, the TSX was home to 1,899 companies, with 181 of those being mining companies.

Together, the TSX and TSXV host around 40 percent of the world’s public mining companies.

How much does it cost to list on the TSXV?

There are a variety of different fees that companies must pay to list on the TSXV, and according to the exchange, they can vary based on the transaction’s nature and complexity. The listing fee alone will most likely cost between C$10,000 to C$70,000. Accounting and auditing fees could rack up between C$25,000 and C$100,000, while legal fees are expected to be over C$75,000 and an underwriters’ commission may hit up to 12 percent.

The exchange lists a handful of other fees and expenses companies can expect, including but not limited to security commission and transfer agency fees, investor relations costs and director and officer liability insurance.

These are all just for the initial listing, of course. There are ongoing expenses once companies are trading, such as sustaining fees and additional listing fees, plus the costs associated with filing regular reports.

How do you trade on the TSXV?

Investors can trade on the TSXV the way they would trade stocks on any exchange. This means they can use a stock broker or an individual investment account to buy and sell shares of TSXV-listed companies during the exchange’s trading hours.

Tech Weekly: Tech Stocks Feel the Heat Amid Valuation Fears

Investing 6 Mins Read

Plus, we break down next week’s market catalysts to watch to help you prepare for the week ahead.

In this article:

    This week’s tech market round-up

    The tech space was marked by heightened volatility this week, with sharp swings driven by concerns over inflated artificial intelligence (AI) valuations and mixed economic data.

    Global markets gained early in the week, driven by optimism over a US-China trade truce, along with a US$38 billion AI cloud deal between OpenAI and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).

    However, gains were tempered following comments from the Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit in Hong Kong, where Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) CEO David Solomon warned of a likely 10 to 20 percent pullback in equities within the next 12 to 24 months. Other panelists at the event offered similar projections.

    Futures tracking the S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) weakened ahead of the release of Canada’s federal budget, which promises C$925.6 million for sovereign compute capacity, quantum tech funding and support for open banking and stablecoins. The government aims to attract C$500 billion in private sector investment over five years.

    US tech stocks sold off again on Wednesday (November 5) amid uncertainty over the Supreme Court’s tariff ruling and short positions by Michael Burry on NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR).

    A stronger-than-expected ADP report helped stabilize the tech sector midday, but October jobs data weighed on markets again Thursday (November 6), cooling risk appetite, especially for AI momentum stocks.

    Wall Street’s main indexes extended losses to a second session on Friday (November 7) and posted weekly declines as the Volatility Index (INDEXCBOE:VIX) hit its highest level in a fortnight, just one week after the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) and Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) notched their longest winning streak in four and seven years, respectively.

    Traders were pricing in a 70.2 percent chance of a 25 basis point interest rate cut from the US Federal Reserve in December at the time of this writing, down from 90 percent last week.

    3 tech stocks moving markets this week

    1. Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR)

    Palantir reported a strong Q3 earnings beat with a year-on-year revenue increase of 63 percent to US$1.18 billion, exceeding analyst expectations of US$1.09 billion.

    Earnings per share were also above forecasts, coming in at US$0.21 compared to expectations of US$0.17.

    The company’s total contract value rose to US$2.76 billion, a record high, driven by a 121 percent rise in US commercial revenue and a 52 percent increase in US government revenue.

    The company also raised its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to around US$4.4 billion, driven by continued strong AI demand and government contracts. On the earnings call, management expressed confidence in continued growth fueled by AI, emphasizing strategic partnerships with companies like NVIDIA, while acknowledging challenges in the European market and operational scaling.

    However, Palantir’s share price dropped about 3 percent in after-hours trading. Analysts attributed the market reaction to concerns over the prolonged US government shutdown potentially impacting contracts, alongside a large bearish bet revealed by Michael Burry’s fund.

    The company’s stock is down 14 percent for the week.

    2. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)

    Shares of Amazon rallied on Monday morning after announcing a US$38 billion multi-year partnership with OpenAI to run its advanced AI workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, providing access to hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs and specialized AWS chips.

    The deal significantly strengthens AWS’s position in the AI cloud market. Investors had a marked reaction to the news, driving Amazon’s shares price to a record high of US$US$254.

    However, gains were partially erased during the broader tech sector pullback. Its stock ultimately closed the week down 4.28 percent.

    3. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA)

    Shares of NVIDIA have been dragged down this week due to valuation concerns and fears related to US export restrictions on advanced AI chips to China.

    During a 60 Minutes interview with Norah O’Donnell on Sunday (November 2) evening that covered a range of topics, President Trump stated NVIDIA’s most advanced AI chips would be reserved exclusively for US companies. The market reacted by sending shares of NVIDIA (up or down?) on Monday morning.

    Also on Monday, Microsoft provided an update on its US$15.2 billion planned investment in the UAE, which will include increasing its AI computing power in the UAE by four times to reach the equivalent of 60,400 NVIDIA A100 GPUs in compute power in the country.

    NVIDIA shares, also boosted by Loop Capital raising its price target by US$100, rose by over four percent from Friday’s closing price in early trading.

    However, a large bearish position against NVIDIA was disclosed from Burry’s fund on Wednesday, adding to downward pressure already on its shares amidst a tech stock sell-off.

    During a Thursday press conference, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Trump “was not interested in selling (the Blackwell chip) to China at this time”.

    Meanwhile, during the Financial Times’ Future of AI Summit, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said the West is being held back by “cynicism” and reportedly told the outlet, “China is going to win the AI race.”

    Huang has previously warned that US restrictions could backfire by accelerating China’s domestic chip development, arguing the US should stay engaged with Chinese developers to maintain leadership. The company’s shares are down 9.53 percent for the week.

    NVIDIA, Palantir and Amazon performance, November 3 to 7, 2025.

    Top tech news of the week

          Tech ETF performance

          Tech exchange-traded funds (ETFs) track baskets of major tech stocks, meaning their performance helps investors gauge the overall performance of different sectors.

          This week, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) declined by 4.81 percent, while the Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXQ) saw a weekly loss of 5.2 percent.

          The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH) decreased by 5.41 percent.

          Tech news to watch next week

          Next week, investors will hear earnings results from Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), due to report its Q1FY26 earnings on November 12. The company is expected to deliver a year-on-year increase in earnings on higher revenues. Semiconductor equipment supplier, Applied Materials, is also set to report its Q4 earnings on November 13.

          AMD will have its Financial Analyst Day on Tuesday (November 11), providing further strategic updates and outlook.

          Analysts and investors will also be watching for any sign of an end to the 38-day government shutdown after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) unveiled a plan to attach a one year extension to the expiring Obamacare subsidies and to create a bipartisan committee that could negotiate further on how to deal with the subsidies after the government reopened. Majority leader John Thune reportedly told CBS News that the Democratic proposal is a ‘nonstarter’.

          Pride shut out Reign in NWSL playoffs: Highlights, results

          Sport 7 Mins Read

          The Orlando Pride move one step closer to repeating as NWSL champions.

          The Pride, the No. 4 seed, protected home-field advantage and defeated the fifth-seeded Seattle Reign FC, 2-0, in Friday’s 2025 NWSL playoff quarterfinal match in Orlando. The Pride will face either the top-seeded Kansas City Current or No. 8 Gotham FC in the semifinals.

          Midfielder Haley McCutcheon got the Pride on the board in the 21st minute and midfielder Luana iced the match with her first career NWSL goal, a stoppage goal off a penalty kick. Luana was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in April 2024 and finished chemotherapy last month.

          ‘One year ago, I didn’t even know if I would be playing again and today I am here,’ an emotional Luana said after the quarterfinal win. ‘Nothing is impossible.’

          Veteran defender Lauren Barnes played her final game for the Reign. The 36-year-old retires after setting NWSL records for matches played (252), matches started (240) and minutes played (21,110).

          Catch up with USA TODAY Sports’ highlights and results of the NWSL quarterfinal match between the Orlando Pride and Seattle Reign:

          90’+8′ – Pride 2, Reign 0

          Pride forward Marta sprinted 100 yards to the opposite side of the field before being fouled in the penalty area by Seattle’s Samantha Meza. Marta conceded the penalty kick to fellow Brazilian Luana, who completed her final round of chemotherapy last month after being diagnosed with  Hodgkin’s lymphoma in April 2024. Luana scored in the top left corner to put the Pride up 2-0 in stoppage time.

          90’+4′ – Pride 1, Reign 0

          Reign forward Emeri Adames’ shot on goal was saved.

          Seattle midfielder Sally Menti’s shot is saved in the top left corner by Pride goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse.

          76′ – Pride 1, Reign 0

          Reign midfielder Maddie Mercado was close to scoring an equalizer for Seattle, but Pride goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse continued her impressive night with a kick save to keep Seattle off the board. Moorhouse has six saves in the match.

          62′- Pride 1, Reign 0

          Seattle’s Maddie Mercado earned a free kick, but the Reign weren’t able to convert. Midfielder Sally Menti took the free kick, but hit the crossbar and Seattle players weren’t able to clean up the shot and score. The Reign have not scored on a free kick all season.

          57′ – Pride 1, Reign 0

          We have our first yellow card of the game. Orlando’s Rafaelle received a yellow card for a bad foul after stepping on Maddie Mercado.

          Ken Griffey Jr. in the building

          Seattle Mariners legend Ken Griffey Jr. is in attendance to cheer on the Reign. Griffey, who is part of the Reign ownership group, is part of the league’s newly formed, star-studded advisory board. “Together, they’ll help the league unlock new opportunities for partnership, expand fan reach and strengthen its position as both a premier professional league and a powerful cultural platform,” the league said in a statement on Thursday.

          46′ – Pride 1, Reign 0

          The Pride picked up right where they left off and came out of halftime firing. Reign goalkeeper Claudia Dickey saved an attempt by Pride midfielder Ally Lemos.

          HT – Pride 1, Reign 0

          The Pride have a 1-0 lead over the Reign heading into halftime. The Reign may have possessed the ball more (54.5% compared to Orlando’s 45.5%), but the Pride was more effective. Orlando scored one goal on four shot attempts and two shots on the goal, while Seattle is scoreless with six shot attempts. Pride goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse has three saves.

          Orlando is 2-0-0 when leading at halftime in the playoffs.

          Seattle Reign, Orlando Pride pays tribute to Mia Hamant

          Seattle Reign and Orlando Pride players wore orange wristbands and orange ribbons in their hair in honor of 21-year-old Washington goalkeeper Mia Hamant, who died Thursday of kidney cancer.

          36′ – Pride 1, Reign 0

          Seattle Reign forward Jordyn Huitema’s shot on the goal was saved by Pride goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse.

          21′ – Pride 1, Reign 0

          Orlando Pride is on the board first with a goal from midfielder Haley McCutcheon, marking the third NWSL playoff goal of her career. The goal was assisted by forward Julie Doyle, who performed a one-touch pass after receiving a no-look reverse pass from Marta.

          17′ – Pride 0, Reign 0

          We are scoreless as we creep toward the 20-minute mark, but the Orlando Pride had multiple looks at the goal early. Pride defender Cori Dyke set up forward Julie Doyle with a perfect cross pass, but Doyle’s shot attempt on the goal sailed over the crossbar. The Pride have three shot attempts and one shot on goal so far, compared to one shot attempt and shot on goal for the Seattle Reign.

          5′ – Pride 0, Reign 0

          Reign goalkeeper Claudia Dickey saved at attempt on the goal by Orlando Pride midfielder Angelina.

          Las Vegas Raiders fire coordinator after TNF loss to Broncos

          Sport 3 Mins Read
          • In the wake of Thursday’s loss, the Raiders announced they fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon.
          • A blocked punt in the third quarter led to the Broncos’ go-ahead field goal to make it 10-7.
          • With 4:30 left in the fourth quarter, Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson missed a 48-yard field goal that would have tied the game 10-10.

          Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season started off with an AFC West tilt in Denver on ‘Thursday Night Football.’ After a game that featured nearly as many first downs (20) as points, the Broncos earned a 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

          That three-point margin of victory loomed large for the Raiders, especially with special teams mistakes.

          A blocked punt in the third quarter led to the Broncos’ go-ahead field goal to make it 10-7. With 4:30 left in the fourth quarter, Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson missed a 48-yard field goal that would have tied the game 10-10.

          In the wake of that loss, the Raiders announced they fired special teams coordinator Tom McMahon.

          ‘Earlier today, we made the tough decision to relieve Tom McMahon of his duties as special teams coordinator,’ coach Pete Carroll said in a team statement. ‘I have a great amount of respect for Tom and the work that he has done in this league, but we have decided to move in a different direction.

          ‘Derius Swinton II will assume special teams coordinator duties on an interim basis and we are excited to attack 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.’

          Thursday’s game was the latest in a season of special teams mistakes under McMahon. A blocked field goal against the Chicago Bears in the final minute of regulation ensured a 25-24 Raiders loss. A missed extra point on the Raiders’ first touchdown against Jacksonville made a difference in a 23-23 tie after regulation that became a 30-29 loss in overtime.

          Swinton II will become a special teams coordinator for the first time since 2021 with the Los Angeles Chargers under Brandon Staley. A former safety in college, he also held the special teams coordinator position in 2016 with the San Francisco 49ers.

          Las Vegas is back home in Week 11 for a ‘Monday Night Football’ matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

          AL Silver Slugger winners: Yankees, Tigers earn multiple awards

          Sport 2 Mins Read

          Major League Baseball continued to wrap up the 2025 season, releasing more of its end-of-year awards.
