Coaching Matters: 2021 Washington Football Team Coaching Staff Preview

After every NFL season, NFL teams take the time to evaluate not only the players but also the coaching staff and front office as well. While many teams choose to retain the same head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, a few other teams opt to go in a new direction with their coaching staff.

One team that managed to maintain their core coaching staff this offseason was the Washington Football Team, with head coach Ron Rivera, offensive coordinator Scott Turner, and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio all returning for the 2021-22 season.

This article will look at the potential impact this coaching staff will have on the players and try to pinpoint the Football Team players' fantasy values in it.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

The Baseline

To get a better understanding of the value the Washington Football Teams' coaches help bring to this team, we can look at the NFL league averages in each of the past two years in a variety of statistical categories and then compare them to the averages achieved by the Washington Football Teams' coaches. Here are 'The Baseline' NFL league averages over the past couple of years:

2021 Offense

2021 Offensive Coordinator: Scott Turner

After a four-game stint with the Carolina Panthers as an interim play-caller at the end of the 2019 season, Scott Turner was brought on to be the Washington Football Team's offensive coordinator in 2020. Given Turner's offensive background, let's take a look at what his offenses have done in the past at the NFL level to get a better understanding of how Washington's offense might look in 2021.

Scott Turner Takeaways & Expectations

Over the course of Scott Turner's 20 games as an NFL offensive play-caller, his offenses have averaged 38.85 passing attempts per game - which is well above the league average. In addition, over the course of his career as a play-caller, Turner's quarterback room has averaged three carries per game.

This rushing usage under Scott Turner is a little below average for the quarterback, but overall the number of passing attempts should be more than enough to offset it. Based on this information, the Football Team's starting quarterback should have at least some streamer appeal in fantasy leagues for 2021.

Examining Scott Turner's running back rooms over the course of his career, there is a lot to be encouraged about. Over the course of the 20 games that Turner has been a play-caller, his running back room has averaged 20.4 carries and 0.95 rushing touchdowns per game.

The number of running back carries per game under Scott Turner has been fairly mediocre, but his backs have made up for it with their efficiency in scoring rushing touchdowns.

This is a great sign if you plan on rostering one of Washington's running backs in your fantasy league. But besides the amount of volume (carries) on the ground that Turner has historically provided, we also need to consider how that volume has been distributed over the course of his career - is Turner rolling with a bell-cow or a running back by committee approach?

Looking at the data, Scott Turner has been willing to take a heavy bell-cow approach on the ground (2019) or a more committee-oriented approach (2020) based on the players he is working with. If Turner believes that Antonio Gibson has improved enough to warrant anything similar to the massive percentage of running back carries that Christian McCaffrey got in 2019, Gibson will have one of the highest ceilings in all of fantasy in 2021 and legitimate top-five potential.

The final aspect we should look at regarding Scott Turner's running backs is how much he has traditionally utilized them as pass-catchers. Over the course of his career, Scott Turner's running back room has averaged a whopping 10.5 targets per game.

This usage is the best mark in the league among active offensive-minded head coaches and offensive coordinators who have previously coached at the NFL level.

This receiving upside is extremely encouraging to see if you are rostering one of the Washington Football Team's running backs. If Antonio Gibson can eat into J.D. McKissic's receiving workload more in 2021 (which is very possible based on his previous background as a wide receiver at the college level), he will be one of the most valuable running backs in fantasy football. Overall, this is an offense whose running backs you should invest in as long as Scott Turner is the offensive coordinator.

Jumping to the wide receiver position, Turner has provided his wide receivers with 19.15 targets per game over the course of his 20 game career as an offensive coordinator.

This raw number is slightly below the league average. But it gets a little more concerning when you realize that this number is slightly inflated by the high passing volume and the overall percentage of targets going to wide receivers is very low relative to other NFL play-callers.

What this suggests is that the Washington Football Team's wide receivers may have a harder time seeing their volume (targets) increase under Scott Turner since he hasn't prioritized the position as much as other play-callers. If you plan on investing in Terry McLaurin or Curtis Samuel, you are doing so because you are confident they will be efficient with Ryan Fitzpatrick or Taylor Heinicke - not because you think they will be among the league leaders in targets.

Lastly, Turner's historical usage of tight ends has been above-average. Over the course of his career as an offensive coordinator, Turner's tight end room has averaged 7.45 targets per game.

In his young career, Scott Turner has been pretty reliable in feeding his tight ends. Based on this information, Logan Thomas should have a solid opportunity to finish as a TE1 once again.

 

Fantasy Relevant Players: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Taylor Heinicke, Kyle Allen, Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic, Peyton Barber, Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, Adam Humphries, Cam Sims, Logan Thomas, and John Bates

 

2021 Defense

2021 Head Coach: Ron Rivera

Ron Rivera has been the Washington Football Team's head coach since 2020. Prior to taking the job in Washington, Rivera served as a defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears (2004-2006) and San Diego Chargers (2008-2010), as well as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers (2011-2019). Given his defensive background, let's take a look at some team defensive statistics during Ron Rivera's career as a defensive coordinator or head coach.

Year Games Points Allowed Pass Yds Given Up Run Yds Given Up Plays Against Yds/Play Turnovers Forced
2019 Panthers 12 26.67 229.17 137.5 65.25 5.62 1.67
2020 Football Team 16 20.56 191.75 112.81 62.75 4.85 1.44
Rivera's Career Averages (DC/HC) 252 20.84 220.01 106.69 62.74 5.21 1.73

 

2021 Defensive Coordinator: Jack Del Rio

Jack Del Rio has been the Washington Football Team's defensive coordinator since 2020. Prior to taking the job in Washington, Del Rio had served as a defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers (2002), as a head coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars (2003-2011), as a defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos (2012-2014), and as a head coach for the Oakland Raiders (2015-2017). Given his defensive background, let's take a look at some team defensive statistics during Jack Del Rio's career as a defensive coordinator or head coach.

Year Games Points Allowed Pass Yds Given Up Run Yds Given Up Plays Against Yds/Play Turnovers Forced
2017 Raiders 16 23.31 241.13 108.94 62.13 5.64 0.88
2020 Football Team 16 20.56 191.75 112.81 62.75 4.85 1.44
Del Rio's Career Averages (DC/HC) 267 21.18 219.02 104.10 62.13 5.20 1.54

Both head coach Ron Rivera and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio have been very good at fielding quality defenses over the course of their careers. They took the Washington Football Team's defense up a notch in 2020 with the team performing above average in points allowed, passing yards given up per game, rushing yards given up per game, yards per play, and turnovers forced. This coaching duo combined with the talent on the Washington Football Team's roster makes them a top-tier D/ST fantasy option for the 2021 season.
