Important News 🚨
Why It Matters:
Mike McCarthy is just the fourth coach in the history of the Steelers. Many are calling this an uninspiring choice due to his Packers and Cowboys teams consistently finishing seasons in a disappointing fashion. His hiring LIKELY means there is a better chance that QB Aaron Rodgers returns to the Steelers next season.
Why It Matters:
The Ravens defense has been frustratingly inconsistent since the departure of Mike Macdonald to Seattle. Hiring a defensive guru like Jesse Minter is a bid to restore the unit to its 2023 glory. His Chargers unit was the best passing defense in the league this season.
Why It Matters:
The Chargers offense could win fantasy leagues next season.
Mike McDaniel’s 2022-2023 offenses defined the fantasy football landscapes during those seasons. His schemes powered one of the best WR seasons of all-time in Tyreek HIll, as well as multiple top-5 RB finishes. All of this was with an extremely limited QB - give McDaniel a bona-fide top-10 QB like Justin Herbert and their offensive ceiling will be as high as any team in the league.
