The NFL had its first big head coaching hire over the weekend, as the Chicago Bears are freportedly inalizing a deal to hire Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their new head man. On the surface, it appears to be a great decision for the Bears in real and fantasy football.
Johnson was Detroit’s OC for the last three years, during which time his offenses finished no worse than fifth in points per game average (including first overall in 2024), and no worse than fourth in total net yards per game. His offenses threw the ball 54.7 percent of the time in those three seasons, and it ranked in the top three in red-zone snaps.
