Analysts evaluate NFL coaching shifts for the upcoming 2026 season

The 2026 NFL season features significant turnover in coaching staffs, with over half the league changing play-callers compared to the previous year. Analysts have categorized several new hires based on their potential fantasy impact, identifying specific offensive schemes to watch. Mike LaFleur takes over as Cardinals head coach, while Jesse Minter leads the Ravens with Declan Doyle handling play-calling duties. The Bills promoted Joe Brady to head coach, signaling continuity for the offensive unit. Meanwhile, Klint Kubiak joins the Raiders as head coach following a notable stint as an offensive coordinator. These changes follow a 2025 season where teams managed by Ben Johnson, Liam Coen, Kellen Moore, and Josh McDaniels saw significant offensive shifts. The focus remains on how these new coordinators and head coaches shape their respective team personnel for the current year.
