Fantasy Football Play Caller Profile:
The Dallas Cowboys relieved Scott Linehan of his duties after they lost to the Rams in the NFC Divisional Round. In-steps first-year offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who was promoted after just one season as the Cowboys quarterback coach.
This offense should not change much, as Ezekiel Elliott is the straw that stirs the drink in Dallas. Although I would anticipate Moore being more creative in the passing game, further increasing the Cowboys pass attempts from the previous three-year totals. (527, 493, 483).
During his time as Chris Peterson’s quarterback for the Broncos, Moore ran a balanced offense similar to the one he will run in Dallas. In his final two years at Boise, the Broncos finished 12th and 5th in total yards, while producing the 6th and 2nd most points in the nation. The offensive production was exceptional during Moore’s final two seasons as the Broncos never finished outside the top-50 in both passing and rushing. The Broncos finished (10th, 5th) in passing yardage, (23rd, 43rd) in pass attempts while finishing (39th, 21st) in rushing yards, (50th, 45th) in rushing attempts.
