Who actually calls each offense, whether that changed, and what it means when you are choosing between players at a similar price. Reviewed August 9, 2026
Not the coordinator. Buffalo's coordinator is Pete Carmichael Jr. and Joe Brady still calls the plays, so nothing changed there.
Teams whose primary caller is different from whoever finished 2025 calling that offense. That is the change that matters.
Role, talent, touches and targets matter far more. Use this between players at comparable ADP, not to reach.
32 of 32
Klint Kubiak calls the offense, Andrew Janocko is coordinator.
Kubiak has a strong history of emphasizing his best offensive players and maintaining a physical rushing attack. RB and TE are the strongest coaching targets.
Mike McDaniel calls the offense, Jim Harbaugh is head coach.
Strongest coaching upgrade in the league. McDaniel brings motion, spacing, quick-game concepts, outside zone and a strong history of using RBs in both the running and passing games. Coaching should be a legitimate positive tiebreaker on Chargers players.
Mike LaFleur calls the offense, Nathaniel Hackett is coordinator.
LaFleur brings McVay/Shanahan concepts, motion, play action and outside zone. His previous offenses involved RBs heavily in the passing game. Broad positive environment, with the strongest coaching signal at RB.
Todd Monken calls the offense, Travis Switzer is coordinator.
Monken has a strong history of aggressive downfield concepts, adapting to personnel and creating explosive passing opportunities. Do not automatically boost RB receiving volume.
Sean Mannion calls the offense, Nick Sirianni is head coach.
Mannion is a first-time caller but brings Green Bay/McVay influenced concepts and is expected to add rhythm, under-center offense and play action while preserving Philadelphia's established strengths.
Tommy Rees calls the offense, Kevin Stefanski is head coach.
Rees will call plays within a Stefanski influenced offense. The clearest coaching tendency worth using for fantasy is meaningful TE involvement. Avoid automatically boosting every Falcon.
Declan Doyle calls the offense, Jesse Minter is head coach.
Doyle is a first-time NFL play caller. Expected play action, motion and multi-TE concepts fit Baltimore's personnel, but uncertainty requires conservative adjustments.
Davis Webb calls the offense, Sean Payton is head coach.
Webb is officially taking over play calling while Payton remains the offensive architect and mentor. Potential for a slightly more aggressive passing environment, but Payton's system remains highly influential.
Dan Campbell calls the offense, Drew Petzing is coordinator.
Campbell currently handles the calls, so Petzing should be treated as a scheme/design influence rather than a completely new primary caller. Petzing's historically TE-friendly concepts still give TE a modest positive signal, but the effect is dampened because he is not the primary caller.
Bobby Slowik calls the offense, Jeff Hafley is head coach.
Slowik remains within the broader Shanahan/West Coast family, but his history points toward less RB receiving concentration than Miami had under McDaniel. WRs may absorb a larger share.
Matt Nagy calls the offense, John Harbaugh is head coach.
Nagy will call plays, with John Harbaugh and Greg Roman adding a strong physical run-game influence. RB and TE receive the clearest positive signals, while overall WR volume carries more uncertainty.
Frank Reich calls the offense, Aaron Glenn is head coach.
Reich's offenses have often used multiple backs and meaningful TE volume. That can reduce concentrated RB workloads and WR target share.
Mike McCarthy calls the offense, Brian Angelichio is coordinator.
McCarthy should shift Pittsburgh toward a more quarterback-friendly and WR-oriented passing attack. Keep the adjustment modest rather than assuming the entire offense dramatically improves.
Brian Fleury calls the offense, Mike Macdonald is head coach.
Fleury is a first-time caller and plans to preserve much of the successful Kubiak/Shanahan structure. His TE background creates a modest TE signal, but there is not enough evidence to upgrade the entire offense.
Zac Robinson calls the offense, Todd Bowles is head coach.
Robinson brings McVay-style motion, play action and zone concepts. Passing-game structure creates the clearest positive coaching signal.
Brian Daboll calls the offense, Robert Saleh is head coach.
Daboll's strongest fantasy impact should come through quarterback development and his ability to feature a primary receiver. His history gives less confidence in a concentrated workhorse RB role.
David Blough calls the offense, Dan Quinn is head coach.
Blough is a first-time caller, so the adjustment stays small. His expected use of motion, under-center concepts and play action provides upside for the quarterback and passing game.
Joe Brady calls the offense, Pete Carmichael Jr. is coordinator.
Brady already controlled the offense. His move to head coach does not justify adding another fantasy coaching adjustment.
Brad Idzik calls the offense, Dave Canales is head coach.
Idzik is taking over the calls but remains inside the existing Canales offense. Expect continuity rather than a completely new system. Not enough evidence for a preseason boost or downgrade.
Ben Johnson calls the offense, Press Taylor is coordinator.
Taylor received the OC title, but Johnson remains the offensive architect and play caller.
Zac Taylor calls the offense, Dan Pitcher is coordinator.
Same offensive structure and primary caller.
Brian Schottenheimer calls the offense, Klayton Adams is coordinator.
Same primary caller and offensive structure.
Matt LaFleur calls the offense, Adam Stenavich is coordinator.
Established LaFleur system and play calling.
Nick Caley calls the offense, DeMeco Ryans is head coach.
Caley enters Year 2. No new 2026 coaching adjustment.
Shane Steichen calls the offense, Jim Bob Cooter is coordinator.
Same offensive architect and caller.
Liam Coen calls the offense, Grant Udinski is coordinator.
Year 2 of Coen's system. Do not apply another coaching bump simply because the offense has continuity.
Andy Reid calls the offense, Eric Bieniemy is coordinator.
Bieniemy's return matters operationally, but Reid remains the primary caller.
Sean McVay calls the offense, Nate Scheelhaase is coordinator.
Coordinator changed, primary offensive architect and play caller did not.
Kevin O'Connell calls the offense, Wes Phillips is coordinator.
Same offensive architect and caller.
Josh McDaniels calls the offense, Mike Vrabel is head coach.
Year 2 of McDaniels running the offense.
Kellen Moore calls the offense, Doug Nussmeier is coordinator.
Same primary caller and system.
Kyle Shanahan calls the offense, Klay Kubiak is coordinator.
Maximum offensive continuity.
Nothing matches that filter.
Coaching is a tiebreaker, not the foundation of a fantasy ranking. A Target or Strong Target designation means we prefer players from that offense at comparable projection and ADP. It does not mean reaching significantly ahead of market value.
The coaches and play callers are facts. The fantasy impact is an informed projection, and a small one: coaching moves a projection by at most three percent either way, and never overrides an obvious difference in role or talent. First-time callers are treated conservatively. Once real 2026 usage exists, touches, targets, routes and red-zone work matter more than any preseason read on a staff.
Last reviewed: August 9, 2026. Play-calling responsibilities can change during a season, including mid-year. If a team changes its primary caller, this page is updated and the review date moves with it.
The primary play caller is listed for all 32 offenses, and it is often not the offensive coordinator. Buffalo's coordinator is Pete Carmichael Jr. while Joe Brady calls the plays; Chicago's is Press Taylor while Ben Johnson calls them.
Modestly. Role, talent, touches and targets matter far more. A coaching change is a tiebreaker between players at comparable price and comparable projection, not a reason to reach.
Seventeen, counted as a different primary caller from whoever finished the 2025 season calling that offense. That is a different number from how many teams hired a coordinator, and it is the one that matters.
That there is no new 2026 coaching change giving an additional reason to move those players either way. It is not negative. Cincinnati, Kansas City, San Francisco and Minnesota all carry it and all contain excellent picks.
The coaching change looks favourable to specific positions rather than the whole offense. Detroit is a tight end signal, which is not a reason to move a Lions receiver.
