Ravens fire OC Marc Trestman, promote Marty Mornhinweg

Oct 10, 2016

After another disappointing loss, and another poor offensive performance, the Baltimore Ravens are making a move at offensive coordinator.

Marc Trestman will be fired, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the team's plans, and quarterbacks coach Marty Mornhinweg is set to take his place.

Fantasy Impact:

Mornhinweg has 15 years of experience as either a head coach or an offensive coordinator and has a pretty good track record to show for it. His teams had an average ranking of 11.1 in total yards and 14.6 in points. His offenses tilted toward the pass, averaging an 11.3 ranking in pass attempts against a 17.5 average ranking in rush attempts. Trestman's Ravens currently sit 1st in pass attempts and 17th in rush attempts, so there's a good chance that Mornhinweg calls a more balanced game. This would seem to favor the running backs (Terrance West, Kenneth Dixon) more than the receivers and quarterback, but an overall increase in efficiency and scoring would probably help everyone. The Ravens are currently 19th in points scored, so there is definitely room to grow.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
