Coaching Matters: 2021 Las Vegas Raiders Coaching Staff Preview

Eli Grabanski previews the 2021 Las Vegas Raiders' coaching staff in search of buy-lows, fantasy football sleepers, and risers based on play-calling and historical data.

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.

The Las Vegas Raiders decided to fire former defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, but otherwise, they will be bringing back many of the key coaching staff members from 2020. Jon Gruden will return as the Raiders head coach and Greg Olson will be back as the team's offensive coordinator. Gus Bradley is the only new coordinator, joining the team after serving as the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator for the last four seasons.

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

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

The Baseline

To get a better understanding of the value the Raiders 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 Raiders' coaches. Here are 'The Baseline' NFL league averages over the past couple of years:

Previous Coaching Staff

In order to get an understanding of how the Las Vegas Raiders' fantasy players may be impacted this year, we also need to look at what kind of production former defensive coordinator Paul Guenther got out of the Raiders defense in his time as the defensive coordinator. By doing this, we will have a better understanding of where the new defensive coordinator is starting from and where the primary changes will occur.

Former Defensive Coordinator: Paul Guenther

2021 Offense

2021 Head Coach: Jon Gruden

Jon Gruden has held either an offensive coordinator or head coaching role for 17 NFL seasons, spending time as the Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator (1995-1997), the Oakland Raiders head coach (1998-2001), and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach (2002-2008) before making his way back to the Raiders in 2018. Let's take a look at some of his team's offensive statistics over the course of his career.

QB Impact

Jon Gruden Takeaways & Expectations

Over the course of Gruden's 272 game career as a play-caller, his offenses have averaged just 33.36 passing attempts per game. In the past two years with the Raiders it hasn't been much different, with the team attempting 32.69 passes per game in 2019 and 34.44 passes per game in 2020. This low passing volume makes it tougher for his quarterbacks to put up big fantasy passing numbers.

In addition, Gruden's quarterbacks haven't brought a lot of value on the ground, averaging just 2.85 carries per game over the course of his career.

Based on all this information on Jon Gruden's play-calling tendencies, starting quarterback Derek Carr is likely to be a better real-life quarterback than a great fantasy football quarterback. If you are playing in a fantasy football league, Carr should be looked at as a great matchup-based streamer and borderline QB2 for the 2021 NFL season.

Looking at the running back position, Jon Gruden does a pretty good job of giving his running backs work. His offense provides a mediocre number of opportunities for his running backs to score with his running backs averaging 0.57 rushing touchdowns per game over the 272 games he's coached. He's also provided his tailbacks with 22.85 carries per game over the course of his career which is above-average.

This level of usage is extremely encouraging for the Raiders running backs fantasy prospects - especially considering that the usage has sat around 24-25 carries per game in every season Gruden hasn't had a quality fullback. But overall, what percentage of the carries go to one running back versus Gruden conducting a running back by committee approach?

Jon Gruden has preferred a bell cow approach to the running back position nearly every year of his 17-year career as a play-caller. This usage is extremely encouraging to see if you are rostering Josh Jacobs in your fantasy league and should alleviate any fears of the backfield becoming a full-blown committee in 2021 after the team signed Kenyan Drake.

The final aspect we should look at concerning Jon Gruden's running backs is how much he has traditionally utilized them as pass-catchers. Over the course of his career, Gruden's running back room has averaged a mediocre 6.67 targets per game.

This receiving usage isn't anything to write home about, but it is reassuring to know that Gruden will provide some passing work to his backs. Overall, Jon Gruden will provide his running backs with plenty of carries, has typically rolled with a bell-cow approach, and will give his running backs a fair amount of targets. Based on this information, there is upside for an RB1 finish from a Raiders running back in Gruden's offense but it's probably more realistic to expect Josh Jacobs to finish as an RB2 with Kenyan Drake in the mix.

Looking at the wide receiver position, Gruden has provided his wide receivers with just 17.52 targets per game over the course of his 272 game career as an offensive coordinator or head coach.

This career average is below what we'd expect from the typical play-caller, but it's gotten even worse in recent years with the Raiders' wide receivers getting just 13.31 targets in 2019 and 14.81 targets in 2020. The Raiders' offense likely won't have enough targets to go around to produce more than one fantasy-relevant wide receiver in the 2021 season.

Finally, we need to dive into Gruden's usage of tight ends. Over the course of his career as an offensive playcaller, Gruden's tight end room has averaged just 5.60 targets per game. But looking at the past couple of years Gruden's historical usage of tight ends has taken an interesting turn.

Gruden's tight end usage has been trending upwards over his last few years as play-caller, with the group receiving 10.06 targets per game in 2019 and 10.75 targets in 2020. Darren Waller should once again see plenty of targets in 2021 and remain as one of the premier tight ends in fantasy football.

 

2021 Offensive Coordinator: Greg Olson

Greg Olson has bounced around the league as an offensive coordinator. He has held an offensive coordinator role for the Detroit Lions (2005), St. Louis Rams (2006-2007), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2009-2011), Oakland Raiders (2013-2014), and Jacksonville Jaguars (2015-2016) but appears to have found a home with the Las Vegas Raiders (2018-Present). While Greg Olson is not the primary play-caller in Las Vegas, we should look at his profile just in case he ends up calling plays at some point.

QB Impact

Greg Olson Takeaways & Expectations

In Olson's 188 game career as an offensive coordinator, his team's offenses have averaged 35.09 passing attempts per game. This is right around where the league averages have been the past couple of years. What this means is that if Gruden passes on play-calling duties to Olson, it may result in an increase in about one or two passing attempts per game, but the team still would be fairly mediocre in this area. In addition, Olson's quarterbacks have averaged just 2.96 carries per game over the course of his career.

Overall if the Raiders made a play-calling change, it wouldn't make much of a difference in how much they let Derek Carr throw the ball. But how about the skill positions - running back, wide receiver, and tight end? How would any potential play-calling change impact those guys?

Looking at the running back position, Greg Olson has been disappointing in giving the position work. His running backs have averaged 0.49 rushing touchdowns per game and seen an average of 20.96 carries per game over his 188 game career as an offensive coordinator.

This usage is a little concerning to see because it means that if the offensive play-calling duties get passed off to Olson, the team may not feed their running backs nearly as much. The other concern is how much of that work would be split between multiple backs?

The data suggests that Greg Olson prefers to give his lead back around 60% of the tailback carries. This may be a slight downgrade from Jon Gruden but overall it is pretty good among other offensive play-callers. This bodes well for lead-back Josh Jacobs and means that he should receive a good workload on the ground even if the play-caller changes.

Finally, Olson gives his running backs a mediocre amount of work in the passing game with his tailbacks seeing 6.56 targets per game.

This is roughly the same amount of targets per game as Jon Gruden has provided his backs over the course of his career. Overall, Greg Olson is solid in his offensive coordinator role but would be a slight downgrade for the Raiders' running backs if he takes over play-calling duties at any point in the future.

Looking at how Greg Olson has utilized his wide receivers in the past, it's slightly below average but a little more than the Raiders head coach Jon Gruden. Over the course of his career as an offensive coordinator, Olson has seen his wide receiver room average 18.95 targets per game.

Based on this information, the Raiders' wide receivers would likely see a slight boost in targets per game if Greg Olson became the primary play-caller. However, this usage would still be below-average and the offense would likely be able to only have one or two fantasy-relevant wide receivers.

Finally, Greg Olson has provided his tight end room with 7.63 targets per game over the course of his 188 game career as an offensive coordinator.

Greg Olson's tight end usage is extremely encouraging to see and should make you feel good about Darren Waller's usage regardless of who the team's play-caller is.

 

Fantasy Relevant Players: Derek Carr, Marcus Mariota, Josh Jacobs, Kenyan Drake, Jalen Richard, Henry Ruggs III, John Brown, Bryan Edwards, Hunter Renfrow, Darren Waller, and Foster Moreau

 

2021 Defense

2021 Defensive Coordinator: Gus Bradley

Prior to joining the Las Vegas Raiders coaching staff this offseason as the team's defensive coordinator, Bradley had been a defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks (2009-2012) and Los Angeles Chargers (2017-2020). In addition, Bradley served as the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach from 2014 to 2016. Let's take a look at some of the team defensive statistics of these teams during Gus Bradley's time as the defensive coordinator.

Year Games Points Allowed Pass Yds Given Up Run Yds Given Up Plays Against Yds/Play Turnovers Forced
2019 Chargers 16 21.56 200.25 112.81 57.69 5.43 0.88
2020 Chargers 16 26.63 223.63 119.81 62.31 5.51 1.19
Bradley's Career Averages (DC/HC) 190 23.14 228.03 115.99 64.13 5.37 1.35

Looking at Gus Bradley's defensive statistics, we can see that he's been around league-average across the board with the exception of having his defenses perform well against the pass. Looking at the Raiders defense the last couple of years under Paul Guenther's direction, it's clear that this won't be an easy job for Bradley to turn around the defense and it may take a few years for the team to do so. For re-draft fantasy leagues, it's probably best to only utilize the 2021 Raiders D/ST in juicy matchups and not target them in any drafts.
