NFL Offensive Coordinator Rankings: Todd Monken Leads the List of 32

The 2025 NFL season is upon us. Training Camps are open, and teams are preparing to chase the Lombardi Trophy once again. At the center of the prep is the offensive coordinator. He is charged with the task of utilizing all of the talent on his roster in order to win games. It also seems to run parallel to those individuals seeing fantasy success. A good relationship with the offensive coordinator can be the difference between an okay day in fantasy and a big day.

We ranked all the offensive coordinators in the NFL so that we can decide which guys really act as a force multiplier for the talent on their offense.

Ranking All 32 NFL Offensive Coordinators

1. Ravens - Todd Monken

This Ravens squad has so many players who have a chance to be fantasy-relevant, and the key to its evolution has been Todd Monken allowing Lamar Jackson to throw the football more often. Two backs, three receivers, and two tight ends have a chance to be viable in fantasy, and we all know that Jackson is the cheat code.

2. Lions - John Morton

Yes, there's a new OC in Detroit as Ben Johnson takes over in Chicago, but this offensive identity is not from the OC; it's the head coach. John Morton should continue business as usual. We know the fantasy value of the Sonic and Knuckles, St. Brown and Williams, and the tight end Sam LaPorta. Whether Morton will continue to get the best out of Jared Goff is the question.

3. Bucs - Josh Grizzard

Another year, another offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay. Josh Grizzard is the new guy, and he will be charged with continuing to utilize all of the offensive weapons on the roster. Adding Emeka Egbuka to the roster with Jalen McMillan going into year two, Chris Godwin coming back from injury, and Mike Evans fighting back Father Time. Bucky Irving is taking over as the top back, and Rachaad White is still valuable.

4. 49ers - Klay Kubiak

Yes, Klay Kubiak was promoted to offensive coordinator, but we know who runs this offense. Kyle Shanahan continues to be one of the best playcallers in the league. They also have the easiest strength of schedule going into 2025. Yes, there are a lot of questions currently due to players returning from injury and maybe contract issues, but when the entire offensive unit is on the field, there are three receivers, two running backs, and, of course, George Kittle.

5. Eagles - Kevin Patullo

This offense can do whatever they need to do to win. New OC Kevin Patullo inherits one of the more dynamic offenses in the NFL. Jalen Hurts is a legit dual threat quarterback. Barkley finished as the top running back in fantasy. AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith are one of the best duos in the league and tight end Dallas Goedert is a talented pass catcher who is a matchup problem when he is on the field.

6. Bengals - Dan Pitcher

Dan Pitcher took over the OC duties from Brian Callahan in 2024, and that offense had to produce because of how terrible the defense performed. Pitcher has been able to focus the energy on their biggest talents. Ja'Marr Chase achieved the triple crown of receiving, and Tee Higgins may be looked at as the WR2 on the Bengals, but he's considered a WR1 around the league. Joe Burrow and that super potent pass offense open up the rushing attack and the viability of a tight end.

7. Packers - Adam Stenavich

Adam Stenavich is the OC, but Matt LaFleur is still the playcaller. We know what this team can do in the run game, and the bevy of WR2 options on the roster gives fantasy relevance to a bunch of pass catchers. If rookie Matthew Golden can emerge as a legitimate WR1, it will help this offensive braintrust unlock TE Tucker Kraft and the other receivers' full potential. It will also help to have a healthy Jordan Love on the field.

8. Commanders - Kliff Kingsbury

Kliff Kingsbury and Jayden Daniels seem to be a match made in Matthew Berry's heaven. They have made upgrades on the offensive line, and they added Deebo Samuel. Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler will both have their fantasy relevance. Terry McLaurin is a question mark, so it will be interesting to see how the receiving corps shakes out. Ben Sinnot could be a successor for Zach Ertz, who is still beating back Father Time.

9. Dolphins - Frank Smith

When this offense is at its best, it is one of the most explosive in all of professional football. Head Coach Mike McDaniel and OC Frank Smith have been making adjustments to keep this offense clicking for years despite injuries. They have a legitimate 4x100 relay team on the field led by Tyreek Hill at receiver and De'Von Achane in the backfield. They traded away Jonnu Smith while trading for Darren Waller, who will be returning after a one-year retirement. Jaylen Waddle is also a supreme talent. If Tua Tagovailoa is healthy, they all have the chance to be reliable in fantasy.

10. Cowboys - Klayton Adams

Dak is back, back again. Dak is back, tell a friend. He returns to a new coaching staff led by new head coach Brian Shottenheimer and OC Klayton Adams. They also traded for George Pickens as he joined a healthy CeeDee Lamb. They have veteran running backs and talented rookies to work with as well. Any one of them could become fantasy-relevant.

11. Vikings - Wes Phillips

The Vikings have one of the better teams in the NFL, and offensively, they have been able to create a system where multiple players can thrive. Head coach Kevin O'Connell and his OC Wes Phillips have a lot of weapons, and they have been able to get the most out of lesser talents at quarterback. Now they get the chance to work with the quarterback they handpicked to lead the team. It should mean continued fantasy success for Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, and Aaron Jones.

12. Bills - Joe Brady

Joe Brady's offense has changed from the offense that Brian Daboll had when Josh Allen became a fantasy superstar. While the structure looks different, he still has the engine revving at a high gear, and that's Allen. It's an offense that has allowed running back James Cook to thrive and Khalil Shakir to become one of the most reliable receivers in fantasy. His next job will be getting the most out of second-year receiver Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid.

13. Cardinals - Drew Petzing

If we take quarterback Kyler Murray at his word that he wants to run more this season, then that will be great news for offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, who should use that knowledge to design more opportunities to get Murray running. That will open rush lanes for James Conner as well as create more areas to operate for Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride. Hopefully, Murray's declaration allows others to improve statistically on the field.

14. Falcons - Zac Robinson

Zac Robinson is at the controls of this offense, but it is the presence of Michael Penix that will allow him to finally open up this offense and attack defenses at every level. Penix's strong arm can drive the ball deep with ease. Drake London and Darnell Mooney should both benefit from it, and as crazy as it might be to say, we could see Kyle Pitts return to a 1,000-yard receiver. Stretching the field should also open more rush lanes for Bijan Robinson, who could be in store for a Barkley-esque season.

15. Rams - Mike LaFleur

The Rams were underwhelming last season on offense and still managed to make the playoffs. Cooper Kupp seemed to fall off in front of our eyes, so they replaced him with a hungry Davante Adams. OC Mike LaFleur and head coach Sean McVay are both working to return explosiveness to the offense, and Adams can be a big part of it. He and Puka Nacua should make a heavily targeted duo, and Kyren Williams is still a big part of the offensive plan.

16. Chiefs - Matt Nagy

This might be the Chiefs deepest group of receivers in the Patrick Mahomes era. Matt Nagy, the team's offensive coordinator, will have his hands full figuring out how to best utilize Rice, Worthy, Brown, Royals, and Kelce in the passing game while dividing up carries between Pacheco, Hunt, Mitchell, and Brashard Smith. This may be the season Mahomes goes full super saiyan again. It makes this team very interesting in fantasy.

17. Broncos - Joe Lombardi

The Broncos OC is Joe Lombardi, but this team has Sean Payton written all over it. Can Bo Nix be the new Drew Brees? He runs more than you think and is still improving as a passer after what most would see as a breakout rookie season. None of the receivers wowed last season, but Courtland Sutton demanded a heavy target share. In 2025, they will need to incorporate tight end Evan Engram along with running backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey.

18. Chargers - Greg Roman

The younger Harbaugh has returned the Chargers to relevance, and he's done it in his traditional fashion—Investing in the trenches. This offseason, he gave Greg Roman two new running backs to feature in former Steeler Najee Harris and 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton. There's no better OC in the game at getting the rushing attack going than Roman. Add in Justin Herbert's abilities and the emergence of Ladd McConkey, and this team has some intuitive fantasy options.

19. Giants - Mike Kafka

New quarterback play should elevate this entire offense in 2025. Whether you want to say it is head coach Brian Daboll or OC Mike Kafka who is pulling the strings for the offense, having competent quarterback play always seems like it makes the job easier. Having an all-world receiver in Malik Nabers helps as well. They should be able to pass to multiple guys and make them fantasy-relevant as well. That's good news for Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton. That will open up the rushing attack and allow Tyrone Tracy to thrive in the system in year two.

20. Bears - Declan Doyle

The Bears had one of the worst offenses in 2024, so it is no surprise that there's a new regime in the Windy City. Former Lions OC Ben Johnson takes over as the head man, and with all respect to Declan Doyle, this is Johnson's offense. They have several talents on this team that could be fantasy-relevant. Can Johnson do in Chicago what he was able to do in Detroit? If so, Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Cole Kmet, Colston Loveland, and D'Andre Swift could all hold fantasy relevance.

21. Raiders - Chip Kelly

Pete Carroll is back in charge of a team, and he brought along Chip Kelly to be his OC. Kelly has proven his ability to scheme and create successful rushing attacks. They added the most accurate passer in the NFL, Geno Smith, and now he will be shielded by a rushing attack that needs to be feared. They should give Ashton Jeanty whatever he wants. He and Brock Bowers are a couple of guys for whom Kelly's scheme fits perfectly.

22. Colts - Jim Bob Cooter

Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter has his hands full trying to pull together the offense in Indy. It starts with a decision on the quarterback between an inexperienced and oft-injured Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, who's trying to revive his career. Jonathan Taylor should be healthy, and that should help. They also have Tyler Warren, the rookie tight end out of Penn State. Some intriguing pieces in fantasy if they can get the quarterback position squared away.

23. Seahawks - Klint Kubiak

The Seahawks have made legitimate changes to their offense. They have a new quarterback and a couple of new receivers to go with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Kenneth Walker. They also have a new OC. Klint Kubiak came over from the Saints. He will try to get the most out of all the talent in place. We will see if he can pull another great season out of Sam Darnold.

24. Saints - Doug Nussmeier

Kellen Moore was given a team full of offensive talent in Philly; he does not have that as the head coach in New Orleans. It's difficult to predict what that team will look like offensively and who will stand out on it. Doug Nussmeier, the OC for the Saints, will need to figure out who the quarterback will be and how they will get the ball in Alvin Kamara's hands.

25. Texans - Nick Caley

Nick Caley, the former Rams pass game coordinator, replaces Bobby Slowik as the offensive coordinator in Houston. He has a great young, talented quarterback to work with in C.J. Stroud, and hopefully, the receiving corps led by Nico Collins can find health this season. It'll be wait-and-see for the other fantasy-relevant options.

26. Steelers - Arthur Smith

The Steelers have remade their offensive personnel for current OC Arthur Smith. They signed Aaron Rodgers for his last dance. He still has juice and DK Metcalf to work with. Gone is Najee Harris, and now Jaylen Warren is paired with rookie Kaleb Johnson. Expect a lot of play action, so tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith should be major factors in fantasy as well.

27. Jets - Tanner Engstrand

Aaron Glenn was hired to return respectability to the Jets. He hired Tanner Engstrand away from Detroit. He will get to guide Justin Fields in the revamped, new-look offense. They have elite weapons at receiver and running back, as well as tight ends who have promise.

28. Jaguars - Grant Udinsky

Grant Udinsky was hired as the new OC, but the new head coach, Liam Cohen, will have his fingerprints on this offense. Can they crack the code to truly unlock Trevor Lawrence's full potential? They have Brian Thomas Jr. and rookie Travis Hunter, along with tight end Brenton Strange, who could be in line for an increase in targets. They have three running backs who can be fantasy viable.

29. Titans - Nick Holtz

Cam Ward enters the building with head coach Brian Callahan and OC Nick Holtz manning the offense. It's difficult to see the offense getting much better because, outside of the quarterback, who do we believe is elite in the position groups? Calvin Ridley could have legit relevance along with both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears.

30. Browns - Tommy Rees

Kevin Stefanski elevated Tommy Rees to OC this offseason. He will have a chance to choose from four QBs that all have different skill sets. We don't know how his system will differ from Ken Dorsey's, the former OC. Can he help Jerry Jeudy continue to ascend and get David Njoku back to a Pro Bowl level? Who will be the running back, or will it be a committee? So many questions.

31. Panthers - Brad Idzik

The second half of the season, Bryce Young really showed his mettle and started to show people why the Alabama product was selected first overall. Brad Idzik is the OC behind the scenes, although it is head coach Dave Canales who calls the plays. Rookie Tetairoa McMillan should command immediate targets. After all, the Panthers are accustomed to throwing to big-bodied receivers. Add to that a couple of tight ends and Chuba Hubbard's emergence, fantasy managers may find some jewels on this squad.

32. Patriots - Josh McDaniels

Don't adjust your eyes, Josh McDaniels is back as the Patriots OC once again, and this time he will look to help Drake Maye elevate to another level in his second season. It's a Mike Vrabel team, so you know they will run the ball. That's good for Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson in fantasy. We also know that McDaniels will understand how to get the ball to Stefon Diggs and tight end Hunter Henry.
