Coach DNA
Every coach has a tell.
We watched 11 years of tape.
378,000 plays, fingerprinted per head coach: who he feeds, how fast he plays, whether your guy's role has ever actually paid off. Then we priced it against today's draft board.

The league, in one picture
Right = throws when he shouldn't. Up = runs more plays. Your fantasy points live in the top half.
🚚 New coach, new offense
Ten teams changed coaches. For the ones who've run an offense before - as head coach or as the coordinator calling the plays - the record has opinions about their new roster.

How the verdicts work
For each coach-season we rank his RB1/RB2 by carries and WR1/WR2/WR3/TE1 by targets, then look up where each of those players finished among everyone at his position that year. A coach's average finish for a role, against the current player's ADP-implied rank, is the whole verdict: TAKE when the role historically finishes well above the price, FADE when it never has. First-time head coaches who called plays as coordinators are fingerprinted on those seasons instead. Depth charts come from ADP order. Coaches with under two seasons never get a verdict; under four, it's marked lean. Data: nflverse play-by-play, 2015-2025 regular seasons.
