11 Fantasy Players Benefiting from 2026 OC Changes
The 2026 NFL offseason saw 21 new offensive coordinators. Here are the 11 players poised for a breakout, grouped by position:
Quarterbacks
  • Justin Herbert (LAC): Mike McDaniel brings his efficient, motion-heavy passing attack to pair with Harbaugh's run game. Elite ceiling.
  • Lamar Jackson (BAL): New OC Declan Doyle prioritizes explosive plays, unlocking Jackson's deep-passing upside.
Running Backs
  • Bijan Robinson (ATL): Tommy Rees/Kevin Stefanski’s system is a proven RB1 factory. Expect a true bell-cow role.
  • Kenneth Gainwell (TB): Zac Robinson’s McVay-style scheme will feature Gainwell heavily in the passing game.
  • De'Von Achane (MIA): Bobby Slowik’s wide-zone scheme is a perfect match for Achane’s elite speed.
  • Breece Hall (NYJ): Frank Reich’s history of utilizing RBs in the screen game guarantees Hall massive volume.
Wide Receivers
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA): Brian Fleury brings Shanahan-style concepts, perfect for JSN’s middle-of-the-field route running.
  • Rome Odunze (CHI): Press Taylor’s vertical passing concepts pair perfectly with Caleb Williams’ development.
  • DeVonta Smith (PHI): Sean Mannion’s aggressive, rhythm-based passing will maximize Smith’s elite route-running.
Tight Ends
  • Sam LaPorta (DET): Drew Petzing’s tight-end-centric scheme makes LaPorta the clear primary target.
  • Dalton Kincaid (BUF): Pete Carmichael Jr. specializes in red-zone TE usage; Kincaid is set for a breakout.
