Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Worth noting, QBs coach Jedd Fisch also accepted a job at the University of Miami last week, perhaps knowing a shakeup was going to happen with the Seahawks. ... Bates, who turned down a chance to take the Bears job last year, has also worked under Mike Shanahan in Denver. He worked under Carroll for a year at USC. ...
