Every season we see new offensive coordinators and NFL play-callers make a massive impact on the Fantasy Football landscape. In 2025, Fantasy managers who invested in Ben Johnson's Bears and Liam Coen's Jaguars were laughing all the way to the bank -- or more aptly put -- their Fantasy Football postseason and in some cases Championship games.
