Each off-season the NFL landscape changes dramatically with every coaching change across the league. This past season eight NFL head coaches were terminated, while an additional seven NFL teams made changes at offensive coordinator. How does that impact your Fantasy Football plays?

With 46 percent of the league changing offensive systems this off-season, I am going to breakdown each of these new play callers, their tendencies and how it will impact each team this coming season, and how it will impact your Fantasy Football plays.

Fantasy Football Play Caller Profile:

Dirk Koetter rejoins the Falcons as the offensive coordinator for the 2019 season after being fired following three seasons as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach. Koetter served as the Falcons offensive coordinator 2012-2014 in which they finished 8th, 14th, and 8th in total yards.

During his three years in Atlanta Dirk Koetter threw the ball every chance that he got with an almost identical supporting cast. Instead of Roddy White paired with Julio Jones, he now has Calvin Ridley to go with the most explosive wide receiver in the game.

With the first 11 games of the season being in a dome, Koetter will likely be airing it out and leaning on his veteran quarterback.
