Welcome to the weekly Fantasy Notebook, the must-stop spot for keeping your finger on the pulse of Fantasy Nation. NFL news and developments drive fantasy values. The Notebook is here to keep you in the loop on all of it throughout the season.
Let's dive in by . . .
Loading Up The 2025 Coaching Carousel
Turnover has become as much a part of the NFL as first downs, quarterback sacks, poor clock management, and missed calls.
This offseason will be no different. There will be seven new head coaches running clubs in 2025. This week's Notebook will break down the openings and highlight potential candidates while pointing out some of the potential fantasy ramifications associated with them.
We'll get the ball rolling with the domino that's already fallen . . .
Coaching Decision: New England Patriots
In a surprising turn, Jerod Mayo is one and done as head coach of the New England Patriots. The team announced the move just hours after Mayo's last game as coach, a 23-16 victory over the Bills that dropped the club from picking No. 1 in the 2025 draft to No. 4.
One week later, the Patriots, who finished the 2024 season with a 4-13 record, announced Mayo's replacement, naming Mike Vrabel the 16th head coach in franchise history.
Vrabel, who played linebacker for the Patriots from 2001 to 2008 and was an integral member of three Super Bowl championship teams, served as Tennessee Titans coach from 2018 to 2023, posting a 54-45 regular-season record and 2-3 mark in the playoffs, which included a trip to the AFC Championship Game in 2019.
The Best Piece
While Vrabel said many factors made New England the right fit for him, the new coach acknowledged the most significant selling point was promising young quarterback Drake Maye.
The 22-year-old showed massive potential during his rookie campaign, and Vrabel intends to surround Maye with as much talent as possible to unlock the quarterback's capabilities. But, as Evan Lazar of the team's official website pointed out, Vrabel is not coming in to call plays on either side of the ball, preferring to be a CEO coach who oversees the entire operation.
So the most critical hire here, at least from our perspective, hasn't been made yet . . .
Getting Coordinated
Vrabel has confirmed that he's considering hiring Josh McDaniels as his offensive coordinator, but he says there are other candidates for the job.
"It's a long list. There's a long list, and, you know -- I've had a relationship with Josh, and I've had relationships with other offensive coaches and defensive coaches that we're going to interview and wanna bring in here," Vrabel said.
McDaniels, who was on the Patriots' coaching staff for all eight years that Vrabel was a player in New England, earned a reputation as an effective coordinator during his time with the Patriots. He also failed in two stints as a head coach with the Broncos and Raiders. McDaniels did not coach in the NFL in 2024, but New England would be a logical landing spot if he wants to return to the league in 2025.
Other potential candidates? Lazar notes that current Patriots coordinator Alex Van Pelt has a year under his belt as a play-caller with Maye. Van Pelt's ability to coach quarterback fundamentals like footwork, release quickness, and reading progressions/coverages was working with Maye, so there's an argument for continuity.
In addition, Vrabel spent the last year as a consultant with the Browns, learning more about offense from Kevin Stefanski. Van Pelt, of course, was Stefanski's offensive coordinator for four seasons before landing with the Patriots last season. It's easy to argue allowing Maye to continue working with Van Pelt in a system Vrabel is familiar with is best for the quarterback.
Other possibilities include Vikings QBs coach Josh McCown, Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur and TEs coach/pass game coordinator Nick Caley, Jets passing game coordinator Todd Downing, Giants TEs coach Tim Kelly, former Texans offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, and former Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. Hamilton and Leftwich interviewed for the Patriots head coach job before Vrabel was hired; Downing and Kelly both had stints as Vrabel's play-caller in Tennessee.
How they get the most out of Maye and their moves to give him the best chance at success in Year 2 and beyond will make or break Vrabel's tenure as head coach in New England.
Now for the six remaining openings . . .
Coaching Search: Chicago Bears
The Bears fired coach Matt Eberflus on Nov. 29, one day after a 23-20 loss to the Lions that ended with Chicago falling victim to clock mismanagement.
That game was at the tail end of a six-game losing streak, most notable for an array of last-second losses.
Interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown moved to interim head coach upon Eberflus' departure. He left with a 14-32 record over three seasons.
As ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin pointed out, the NFC North is loaded, so the Bears' path to a division title won't be easy. Chicago's next coach will be paired with a quarterback drafted by someone else, so there might be an adjustment period. And while decisions by fired Bears coaches (Eberflus and former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron) played a significant role in the team's demise in 2024, deficiencies on the offensive line might take longer than a season to fix.
Still, there's some appeal here, including the fifth-most salary cap space in 2025 ($82 million) and a roster with many talented players in their primes. But the biggest plus is already in-house. . .
All About Williams
Any coach, especially one with an offensive background who would get to install his system and mold quarterback Caleb Williams into a franchise star, will be drawn to the Bears' opening.
We saw an immediate improvement in Williams when Brown took over as play-caller in Week 11. From that game through Week 17, Williams was QB9. He finished inside the top-5 three times over that span. So, there's ample reason to have high expectations.
Williams was sacked 68 times this season, the third-most in NFL history. He also lost 466 yards on those plays, the fourth-most yards lost on sacks ever.
As Williams has acknowledged, many of those sacks were his fault. While upgrading the line still seems necessary, hiring a coaching staff that can help Williams better recognize where the pass rush is coming from and get rid of the ball quickly will help, too.
The Candidates
The Bears' list stands at 19, with completed interviews (9), requested interviews (9), and an NFL Network report about interest in speaking with Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman, whose team will play Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Jan. 20.
The list of completed interviewees is headed by Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, among the most sought-after offensive-minded candidates riding the carousel this year. Commanders coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, who was with Williams at USC, is among those requested to interview.
In addition to Johnson, others interviewed include interim head coach Brown, Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, former Panthers and Commanders head coach Ron Rivera, and Broncos senior personnel executive David Shaw.
Early Favorite
No real surprise that Johnson is the early favorite here.
#Lions OC Ben Johnson is now a -250 favorite to be the #Bears' next head coach.@dan_bernstein, @mharrisonair and @leilarahimi discuss now.

I'll note there's still plenty of competition, and Chicago isn't the only destination that views Johnson as "the favorite . . ."
Coaching Search: Dallas Cowboys
Jerry Jones announced Monday that Mike McCarthy will not return as the Dallas Cowboys' head coach in 2025.
McCarthy's contract with the Cowboys expired last Wednesday, but the team held an exclusive negotiating window with the coach until Tuesday at midnight. The two sides talked, but Jones said, "Prior to reaching the point of contract negotiations, it became mutually clear that it would be better for each of us to head in a different direction."
And so it ends with McCarthy, coming off a disappointing 7-10 finish in 2024, leaving Dallas with a 49-35 record in five seasons at the helm. Despite the winning record, he won just one playoff game while suffering devastating home losses in the wild-card round to the San Francisco 49ers (2021) and Green Bay Packers (2023).
What's Next?
As ESPN.com's Todd Archer suggested, an offensive-minded head coach would make sense, considering the state of the Cowboys' roster.
Quarterback Dak Prescott turns 32 in July. He is coming off surgery to repair a right hamstring avulsion but figures to be ready for the start of the offseason program. He is also entering the first year of the four-year, $240 million contract extension he agreed to hours before the season opener.
Archer reminded readers that maximizing the quarterback has always been a priority for Jones. When Tony Romo was the quarterback, the Cowboys were "Romo-friendly." Then they turned into "Dak friendly."
Any offensive-minded head coach -- such as former Cowboys and current Eagles coordinator Kellen Moore -- would be about maximizing Prescott.
The Cowboys might continue that trend with an offensive-minded head coach. But this is the Cowboys, and this is Jones. As Archer summed up: "Anything is possible . . ."
Fantasy Matters
An offensive coach would allow the Cowboys to keep the focus on Prescott and CeeDee Lamb while having a defensive coordinator fully dive in on a new scheme with new personnel.
And for those who forget, Prescott had a team-record 37 touchdown passes with Moore calling the plays in 2022. If Moore were coach, Prescott would be running the same offense for the better part of a decade instead of learning a new scheme under a new coach.
Remember, Lamb also signed a four-year, $134 million extension that made him the NFL's second-highest-paid wide receiver in August, adding further fuel to the notion an offensive mind might be the approach . . .
The Possibilities
In addition to Moore and Johnson, former Cowboy cornerback and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, Kingsbury, Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen, Flores, Carroll, former Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, and maybe even former Patriots and current University of North Carolina head coach Bill Belichick have all been mentioned.
They also interviewed Saleh and have requested to speak with Seattle assistant head coach Leslie Frazier, both more defensive-minded coaches.
Early Favorite
DraftKings has Sanders as the betting favorite to become the next head coach of the Cowboys. Sanders has odds of +100. Next on the list is Saleh at +150, followed by Moore at +250 . . .
Coaching Search: Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars fired Doug Pederson one day after the team ended the season 4-13. Pederson leaves with a 22-29 record over three seasons.
The failures have been readily apparent.
As ESPN.com's Mike DiRocco notes, the Jaguars had one of the NFL's worst defenses, ranking 31st in the NFL in yards allowed per game (389.9) and last in passing yards allowed per game (257.4) under coordinator Ryan Nielsen, whom Pederson hired to replace Mike Caldwell this past offseason.
The offense, under coordinator Press Taylor, finished this season as one of the worst in the NFL, ranking 25th in yards per game (305.8), 21st in passing yards per game (204.5), and 21st in third downs (37.3 percent).
For both the Jaguars and fantasy managers, the next step is building on the positives here . . .
Maximize Talent On Hand
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is under contract through 2030, and there are other key building blocks in rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr., left tackle Walker Little, defensive ends Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, and cornerback Tyson Campbell.
From an NFL perspective, the AFC South isn't a tough division, so, as DiRocco suggests, there's a quicker path back to the playoffs, provided the new staff can get Lawrence to play at a consistently high level.
Thomas, who finished the season as WR5 but was WR1 over the three weeks that matter most to fantasy investors, Weeks 15-17, will be a massive factor in this. We can expect to pay a premium for Thomas' late-season success (made even more intriguing since it came with Mac Jones at quarterback) in our 2025 drafts regardless of the incoming coach.
DiRocco suggested that while the Jaguars have roughly $40 million in cap space, they are also saddled with bad contracts from underperforming free agents the team signed last spring (including receiver Gabe Davis). In addition, team owner Shad Khan opted not to make a clean sweep, so the new coach will have to be willing to work with general manager Trent Baalke, who is entering the final year of his contract -- at least as it stands now.
The Short List
The Jaguars have 10 head-coaching candidates. Because the first round of interviews is still taking place this week, a head coach likely won't be in place before the weekend or early next week. How soon an announcement comes after that depends on multiple factors, not the least of which is how the teams of the top candidates fare in the postseason.
Here are the candidates: Flores, Brady, Coen, Glenn, Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, Johnson, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Moore, former Jets head coach Robert Saleh, and Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Early Favorite
According to FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz, Coen is believed to be a top name to watch in Duval, though their search is still considered early . . .
Coaching Search: Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders fired coach Antonio Pierce two days after his first season as head coach. Pierce, hired as the team's coach last January after serving as interim coach for the final nine games of 2023, led the Raiders to a 4-13 record this season.
Two days after Pierce's firing, the team made it a clean sweep by firing general manager Tom Telesco.
According to Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio, conventional wisdom in NFL circles is that Telesco was fired to clear a path for the next head coach to hire his personnel executive of choice.
ESPN.com's Paul Gutierrez noted that the Raiders have the No. 6 pick in April's draft and copious cap space (roughly $73 million for 2025). Las Vegas also boasts state-of-the-art facilities, has a world-class stadium, and rosters two foundational players in tight end Brock Bowers and defensive end Maxx Crosby.
The Sticking Point
Any incoming head coach is looking at a total rebuild in a division with three 10-win teams this season and well-established coach-QB combos in Andy Reid-Patrick Mahomes II, Jim Harbaugh-Justin Herbert, and Sean Payton-Bo Nix. Aidan O'Connell showed he can be serviceable in the past month, but an upgrade at quarterback is needed.
Fantasy Issues
Bowers finished his rookie season with 112 catches to secure the NFL record for most receptions by a rookie at any position in NFL history. In Week 17, he broke Mike Ditka's 63-year-old NFL record for receiving yards by a rookie tight end (1,076). Bowers delivered 1,194 yards despite playing with the trio Gardner Minshew II, O'Connell, and Desmond Ridder. In addition, Jakobi Meyers was an overlooked fantasy commodity; despite the revolving door at quarterback, Meyers returned from an ankle injury in Week 8 and was WR24 from that game through Week 17. He won't be drafted that way, regardless of the coach hired or the quarterback signed to serve as a bridge to the future.
The Dark Horse To Land Johnson?
While the Raiders haven't begun the interview process, expect Detroit's Johnson and Glenn, Flores, Spagnuolo, Monken, and Saleh to all garner some attention, with some already suggesting Johnson might have more interest in Vegas than other opportunities.
Why? Yahoo insider Charles Robinson contends getting his choice of a GM is more important to Johnson than just having a quarterback. SI.com's Hondo Carpenter added to that by reporting Johnson clicked with Brady, as both have similar mindsets for the game.
Early Favorite
Johnson, for now. Both parties are "enamored" with each other, per Carpenter. The Lions' play-caller will likely command a steep price, but that won't scare the Raiders off. The question is, will somebody -- maybe Chicago -- offer more?
Coaching Search: New Orleans Saints
The Saints fired Dennis Allen on Nov. 4 following a seventh-straight loss. Special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi was named interim coach.
Allen went 18-25 over three seasons before becoming the first midseason firing for the Saints since the late Tom Benson purchased the team in 1985.
The Saints' history of leaning into continuity -- Sean Payton stayed in New Orleans for 15 years -- and a stable front office with one of the longest-tenured general managers in the league in Mickey Loomis will be appealing to potential candidates.
But as ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell notes, the Saints have salary cap issues complicated by their strategy of pushing back cap hits in order to "win now." That means there won't be a lot of money to work with in free agency in 2025, and the next coach might not be able to make many changes to the roster right away. That could complicate things if Derek Carr isn't the preferred quarterback.
Carr is due $40 million next year and will count $51.45 million against the salary cap in 2025 if the Saints don't restructure his contract.
Fantasy Upside?
Carr sat out the final four games of the season because of two fractures in his non-throwing hand and sat out three games earlier in the season because of a strained oblique. He said his focus now is getting back to full health while the Saints hold a search for a head coach. Carr was 5-5 as a starter in 2024, and the Saints did not win a game with backup quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.
In addition to Carr, Alvin Kamara was revitalized in Klint Kubiak's offense before he wore down late in the season. Has the veteran running back hit the cliff? Who will be calling the plays? These are questions we'll be looking to answer in the coming weeks.
Beyond that, Chris Olave will likely be a value play in 2025 drafts after he suffered a concussion in Week 9 that sidelined him for the final eight games of the season. Still, the wideout was cleared and practicing fully to end the season. He told reporters last week that his goal is to become a top receiver heading into his fourth season. We've been drafting him like that for the last two years. We likely won't this summer, so those who buy the dip could come out ahead. The same goes with Rashid Shaheed, who had his meniscus repaired in October. His recovery timeline was four to six months.
The Next Boss?
The list of candidates in New Orleans includes McCarthy, Glenn, Brady, Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, Shaw, former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, Rizzi, Moore, and Kingsbury. Per SI.com's Albert Breer, Kingsbury, Moore, and Brady will all conduct virtual interviews with the team prior to their divisional round matchups this weekend.
Early Favorite
Robinson views McCarthy, who served as the Saints offensive coordinator from 2000 to 2004, as the leading candidate at this point -- although the Bears might be lurking here . . .
Coaching Search: New York Jets
As ESPN.com's Rich Cimini reported it, upset by the team's 2-3 start, Jets owner Woody Johnson made a stunning and unprecedented move in firing Saleh and naming defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich as the interim head coach on Oct. 8.
Johnson, with his first in-season coaching change in 25 years of ownership, said he consulted with general manager Joe Douglas but called it "my decision and mine alone."
Douglas was subsequently fired on Nov. 19.
Saleh, who promised multiple championships when he was hired in 2021, finished with a 20-36 record and zero playoff appearances. The Jets have a 13-year playoff absence, the longest active drought in the NFL, but they began the season with Super Bowl expectations, in large part because of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
What's To Like?
As Cimini pointed out, the roster includes promising young players, notably wide receiver Garrett Wilson, cornerback Sauce Gardner and running back Breece Hall. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is still regarded as one of the better interior linemen. After cuts, the team should have about $80 million in cap room. It also has eight draft picks, including two likely top-40 selections.
What's Not To Like?
There'd be no QB1 on the roster if Rodgers is gone. The Jets have Tyrod Taylor, but he's a bridge quarterback at best. Woody Johnson is known for meddling in personnel matters, which caused issues with the previous regime. There's also the losing culture; it's real and has swallowed up every coach since Bill Parcells (1997-99).
Plenty Of Takers
Despite the potential drawbacks, there's no shortage of candidates, and the Jets are casting a wide net.
The list includes Rivera, Pittsburgh's Smith, Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, Brady, Nagy, Glenn, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Flores, McCown, and 49ers QBs coach Brian Griese. Former Jets head coach Rex Ryan, now an ESPN analyst, also interviewed.
Early Favorite
Robinson is among those who believe Glenn is in the driver's seat here. A former NFL cornerback, Glenn has ties to most of the teams he will be interviewing with this week but he spent most of his NFL career -- from 1994 to 2001 -- with the Jets . . .
This And That
Tomlin Isn't Going Anywhere, Is He?
As Profootballtalk.com reported, in the aftermath of the Steelers' latest quick playoff exit, T.J. Watt has already demanded the franchise take a hard look at itself in 2025. Some believe that includes considering making a change at the top, and head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about the outside questioning of his job security on Tuesday.
"I have no response to that. I understand the nature of what it is that we do," Tomlin told reporters. "As long as I'm afforded the opportunity, I will continue. "
Tomlin also ended any potential talk that a team could trade for his services, telling any hypothetical club on Tuesday to "save your time."
Tomlin, who signed a three-year extension prior to the 2024 season, has held his job in Pittsburgh since 2007, won two AFC titles in his first four years, and took home a Lombardi Trophy in just his second season. Since then, the Steelers have won just three playoff games, with their last coming in the 2016 season.
Meanwhile, Tomlin said he's "unearthing" why the Steelers' entire operation eroded into an uncompetitive state by the end of the season. The coach also stressed that he's been making changes to produce a better final result and remains open to further adjustments.
Just don't suggest the adjustment needs to include his job.
At least for now . . .
Browns Make A Move
Stefanski interviewed five candidates for offensive coordinator and hired the first one with whom he spoke: Browns tight ends coach Tommy Rees.
Rees, an up-and-coming offensive mind in NFL circles, served as a Browns ball boy when he was 14. He also coached quarterback Jalen Milroe at Alabama, who's on the radar for the Browns at No. 2 in the NFL draft.
It remains to be seen if Stefanski will take back playcalling duties or turn them over to Rees, who called plays at Alabama and Notre Dame. With Rees having no pro experience at the chore, Stefanski might opt to do it himself for the new starting quarterback.
Rees spent much of his first year in Cleveland working alongside 2024 Vrabel, who was first tasked with helping the tight ends. Vrabel later moved over to the offensive line, but given the working relationship, Rees may have drawn interest from Vrabel for the Patriots coordinator opening.
Stefanski saw to it that didn't happen . . .
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
Every week, the NFL delivers a remarkable range of outcomes.Every week, I encapsulate that broad expanse here, so bear with me on the switch out of Coaching Carousel mode and into more general observations.
The Good
Late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Packers, FOX cameras showed Eagles' star receiver A.J. Brown on the bench reading a book.
AJ Brown is reading a book on the sideline? ??

The book was Jim Murphy's "Inner Excellence," subtitled, "Train Your Mind for Extraordinary Performance and the Best Possible Life." All of the attention has been very good for sales.
The book “Inner Excellence” by Jim Murphy that AJ Brown was reading on the sidelines yesterday moved up from 523,497th to 1st on Amazon’s best selling list. https://t.co/raqekORVoI
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) January 13, 2025
Brown said he always brings the book to the game, and it wasn't about being frustrated with his role, but fantasy investors would certainly relate if Brown needed to find some peace. As NFL.com's Kevin Patra said, "For long stretches this season, he's been a lost soul in the Philly offense." Still, Brown made it clear he wasn't upset with his role or activity.
#eagles WR A.J. Brown handed me a beaten up paperback copy of Inner Excellence. Full of handwritten notes and highlighted sections. He has it with him every game and you can tell it’s been knocked off benches on sidelines week after week. Brown then showed me the passage he reads… pic.twitter.com/y2p8vODaps
— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) January 13, 2025
Meanwhile, the Eagles handled their business Sunday against the No. 7 seed. They'll need to play better to continue marching toward February. Otherwise, as Patra summed up, "All of Philly will have more time to read motivational books in January. . ."
The Bad
Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has been the topic of much discussion about whether his off-field issues outweigh his impressive talent. And, as Profootballtalk.com's Michael David Smith noted, that was without knowing all the off-field issues that transpired with Pickens this season.
According to The Athletic, Pickens showed up late to the Steelers' Christmas game against the Chiefs, not arriving at the stadium until after the Steelers had submitted their inactive list. According to the report, Tomlin told every player to be there at least two hours before kickoff, but Pickens arrived an hour and 25 minutes before kickoff.
Despite that, Pickens started the game and got the most snaps and targets of any wide receiver on the team.
Still, the issues with Pickens are portrayed in the report as a sign that Tomlin has let things get out of control and that it's time for the Steelers to move on from Pickens, who is heading into the fourth and final season of his rookie contract.
Smith reminded readers that Tomlin has said he wants his players to be volunteers, not hostages, indicating that if Pickens wants to be traded, Tomlin may grant that request.
However, Pickens also led the Steelers with 900 receiving yards this season despite missing three games. He's the most talented receiver on an offense without many dangerous threats.
Is that enough to deal with Pickens' occasionally bad attitude?
Maybe his final answer at his postgame presser following the Wild Card loss to Baltimore was telling:
George Pickens on the Steelers offense: Yeah I’ve seen signs of growth for sure

Reporter: Does that make you optimistic going forward?
George Pickens: Nah.

The Ugly
I wanted to do a final Accountability Report for my 2024 In and Out columns, and there's no better place for it.
Because, yes. It was ugly.
In Week 18, I hit on Bo Nix, Josh Jacobs, and Mark Andrews; I missed on Kyler Murray, Michael Carter (by one spot), Jameson Williams, Terry McLaurin (thanks to a huge second half), Brenton Strange, and my Outlier of the Week, Clyde Edwards-Helaire. That's three hits and six misses.
Here's the final tally for the season: 72 hits and 90 misses, giving me a .444 average for the year.
That's all right in baseball, but fantasy football demands more. I'll work to do better next year. That said, finding edges, creases, and openings to leverage while working against the unparalleled Footballguys Projection Team (Maurile Tremblay, Jason Wood, Justin Freeman, Sigmund Bloom, and Bob Henry) is a pretty serious challenge each week.
And for that, I have nobody to blame but myself . . .
