• Atlanta Falcons move up amid coaching change: The switch from Arthur Smith to Zac Robinson leading the Falcons' offense should provide more reliable play from Bijan Robinson, among others.
• Retained offensive coordinators can help prevent sophomore slumps: The Houston Texans kept head coaching candidate Bobby Slowik, while the Detroit Lions retained Ben Johnson. This should help C.J. Stroud and Sam LaPorta, respectively, remain two of the best players at their positions.
• More than 25 rookies in the top 175: The combination of an excellent rookie wide receiver class and a few quarterbacks and tight ends who are expected to be picked within the top 10 picks means there will be plenty of first-year players finding their way onto fantasy rosters.
