Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bill O’Brien, who took the job to be the head coach at Penn State, remains on staff as an offensive coordinator. But McDaniels will provide another set of hands for the playoff run and is ultimately expected to replace O’Brien as coordinator. As PFT's Gregg Rosenthal notes, McDaniels faced a lot of the AFC playoff competition this year while working for the Rams, including the Steelers, Ravens, and Bengals.
