Ravens fire OC Marc Trestman, promote Marty Mornhinweg

Oct 10, 2016

After another disappointing loss, and another poor offensive performance, the Baltimore Ravens are making a move at offensive coordinator.

Marc Trestman will be fired, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the team's plans, and quarterbacks coach Marty Mornhinweg is set to take his place.

Fantasy Impact:

Mornhinweg has 15 years of experience as either a head coach or an offensive coordinator and has a pretty good track record to show for it. His teams had an average ranking of 11.1 in total yards and 14.6 in points. His offenses tilted toward the pass, averaging an 11.3 ranking in pass attempts against a 17.5 average ranking in rush attempts. Trestman's Ravens currently sit 1st in pass attempts and 17th in rush attempts, so there's a good chance that Mornhinweg calls a more balanced game. This would seem to favor the running backs (Terrance West, Kenneth Dixon) more than the receivers and quarterback, but an overall increase in efficiency and scoring would probably help everyone. The Ravens are currently 19th in points scored, so there is definitely room to grow.

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
