Mike Glennon: 3,399 yards, 16 TDs, 13 INTs, 87 rush yards, 1 rush TDs, 182.7 fantasy points
Mitchell Trubisky: 859 yards, 5 TDs, 3 INTs, 52 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 49.6 fantasy points
The Bears ranked 24th in pass plays and threw the ball 60.7 percent of the time in their first season under offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains. His offenses threw the ball 54 percent of the time during his two seasons as the coordinator in Tennessee. In 2016, the Bears ranked third in the franchise's single-season history in passing yards (net and gross) while starting three different quarterbacks. However, his system still hasn't produced a top-20 fantasy quarterback between Jake Locker (2012), Ryan Fitzpatrick (2013) and Jay Cutler (2016). ... Mike Glennon figures to open the season atop the depth chart, but rookie Mitchell Trubisky should see starts at some point this season.

Projections
Andy Dalton: 3,940 yards, 23 TDs, 10 INTs, 185 rush yards, 3 rush TDs, 260.1 fantasy points
The Bengals ranked 22nd in pass plays in Ken Zampese's first season as the team's offensive coordinator, but injuries to top receivers like A.J. Green, Tyler Eifert and Giovani Bernard were in part to blame. He is the lone position coach Andy Dalton has played under at the NFL level, and Zampese has overseen the development of both Palmer and Dalton during his 14 seasons in Cincinnati. With question marks on the offensive line, Zampese could look to spread teams out with Green back and the addition of rookie speedster John Ross. An improved ground attack with rookie Joe Mixon would also help Dalton's effort in the pass attack, making the offense far less one dimensional.

Cody Kessler: 2,590 yards, 12 TDs, 9 INTs, 43 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 131.9 fantasy points
DeShone Kizer: 1,397 yards, 6 TDs, 7 INTs, 56 rush yards, 1 rush TDs, 73.5 fantasy points
The Browns ranked seventh in pass plays a season ago, as the team was forced to throw more often in an attempt to erase deficits. In his last six stints as an offensive play caller, coach Hue Jackson hasn't had a single quarterback finish higher than 18th in fantasy points (Dalton, 2015). In his defense, Dalton was the QB5 through Week 13 that year before fracturing his thumb. Furthermore, the top passers Jackson worked with before his tenure in Cincinnati were Patrick Ramsey (2003), Joey Harrington (2007) and Jason Campbell (2010). ... Cody Kessler is the favorite to open atop the depth chart, but rookie DeShone Kizer will no doubt get some starts for Jackson.

Dak Prescott: 3,879 yards, 24 TDs, 8 INTs, 265 rush yards, 4 rush TDs, 277.7 fantasy points
The Cowboys ranked a mere 30th in pass plays while rookie quarterback Dak Prescott finished 23rd in pass attempts at his position, which isn't a huge surprise when you consider the success of Ezekiel Elliott and the ground attack. ... Prescott still finished an impressive sixth in fantasy points among quarterbacks, due in part to his lack of turnovers and six rushing touchdowns. ... During his five seasons as the offensive coordinator in Detroit, Scott Linehan's quarterbacks ranked 11th or higher in points four times. That includes a pair of top-10 finishes (Matthew Stafford - 2012, 2013), so Prescott's finish has Linehan on a personal hot streak when it comes to fantasy quarterbacks.

Trevor Siemian: 2,819 yards, 17 TDs, 12 INTs, 43 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 155.1 fantasy points
Paxton Lynch: 1,174 yards, 9 TDs, 6 INTs, 37 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 68.7 fantasy points
Denver's offense ranked 20th in pass plays under Dennison last season, but the return of offensive coordinator Mike McCoy should jump start the team across the board. The Broncos had the NFL's highest-scoring offense under his watch in 2012, and McCoy's offenses have finished in the top 10 in total yards in three of the last five seasons. McCoy's quarterbacks have had four top-12 finishes in the last five years between Peyton Manning (2012) and Philip Rivers (2013-2015). He even helped Tim Tebow finish 18th at the position during his 14 starts in 2011. ... The battle between Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch could create a viable sleeper in fantasy football drafts.

Matthew Stafford: 4,273 yards, 26 TDs, 12 INTs, 171 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 274.0 fantasy points
The Lions ranked eighth in pass plays and finished 11th in pass attempts a season ago. ... In 25 regular-season games under offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, Matthew Stafford has thrown the football 923 times (36.2 APG) for 6,723 passing yards with 47 total touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Overall, Stafford has averaged better than 17 fantasy points per game over the last two seasons. He also didn't see a major decline when Calvin Johnson retired but instead spread the ball around to all of his receivers including Golden Tate and Marvin Jones. What's more, Stafford still found success despite having the third-lowest time-to-throw average among all NFL quarterbacks in 2016.

Aaron Rodgers: 4,341 yards, 37 TDs, 10 INTs, 312 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 338.8 fantasy points
The Packers ranked fourth in pass percentage and fifth in pass plays last season under offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett. He had called pass plays 58.7 percent of the time in 2015, as the Packers leaned on Aaron Rodgers and the pass more often in the absence of a reliable ground attack. ... Rodgers, who ranked first in fantasy points among all players, had finished no worse than second in his previous five full seasons. ... Bennett's offense spreads the ball around, as four different players finished with 40-plus catches. That offensive success plus a plethora of talented pass catchers is good news for Rodgers, who will be the consensus first quarterback picked in fantasy drafts.

Tom Savage: 1,594 yards, 8 TDs, 5 INTs, 61 rush yards, 1 rush TDs, 93.9 fantasy points
Houston's offense ranked 17th in pass plays a season ago, but the pass attack floundered with Brock Osweiler at the helm and cost former offensive coordinator George Godsey his job. ... The Texans will not hire a new coordinator to replace him, as head coach Bill O'Brien will call the offensive plays and hopes to improve a team that scored just 23 offensive touchdowns last season. He called plays in 2014 as well, his first year with the Texans, and the team finished 14th in scoring. In his last tenure as a straight coordinator, O'Brien's system helped Tom Brady throw for a career best 5,239 yards with 39 touchdowns in New England (2011). ... Tom Savage might be the favorite to open atop the depth chart, but rookie Deshaun Watson is the quarterback fans should watch in the preseason.

Andrew Luck: 4,092 yards, 29 TDs, 14 INTs, 296 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 285.3 fantasy points
The Colts were 12th in pass plays last season under offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, who produced his fourth top-six fantasy quarterback (Andrew Luck) during his career. Cam Newton (2011, 2012) recorded two of those seasons in Carolina while Derek Anderson (2007) had the third in Cleveland. In 16 career regular-season starts under Chudzinski, Luck has averaged 280.7 passing yards per game to go along with 35 total touchdowns. Luck has also thrown just 13 interceptions and averaged better than 20 fantasy points a game, making him one of the more productive fantasy quarterbacks in the league. ... Owners need to keep tabs on Luck's status in the preseason, as he is coming off offseason shoulder surgery and will begin training camp on the active/PUP list.

Blake Bortles: 3,648 yards, 24 TDs, 15 INTs, 288 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 242.7 fantasy points
The Jaguars ranked fourth in pass plays a season ago, as Blake Bortles finished third in pass attempts and ninth in fantasy points among quarterbacks. That sounds good on paper, but you could argue that Bortles has been the worst "good" fantasy quarterback since 2015. In fact, he's had a 58.7 completion percentage and a combined 34 interceptions in that time. ... New offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett has just two years experience in that role at the NFL level, and his system will be the third Bortles has had to learn in four seasons. ... The addition of Leonard Fournette means a greater emphasis on the run for the offense, so look for Bortles' overall totals to regress.

Last season, the Chiefs ranked 25th in pass plays and Alex Smith was 22nd in passing yards among quarterbacks (minimum 12 games). ... Matt Nagy as been promoted to offensive coordinator after sharing the duties with Brad Childress a year ago, but coach Andy Reid will continue to call the plays. ... In his four seasons in Kansas City with Reid at the helm, Smith has seen his rank among fantasy quarterbacks fall from 12th to 15th to 18th and down to 23rd in 2016. His 15 touchdown passes last season were also his worst total in the last four years. ... Rookie Patrick Mahomes is now the future of the Chiefs franchise, but Smith still figures to see most of the starts during this season.

The Chargers ranked 14th in pass plays under offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt a season ago, as Philip Rivers finished 11th in fantasy points among quarterbacks. He has now ranked 11th and fifth in his last two years under Whisenhunt's watch. However, the veteran coordinator has produced a mere two top-10 fantasy quarterbacks in his last 13 seasons as either a coach or coordinator. The first before Rivers was Kurt Warner (fifth, 2008), who also ranked 12th (2007) and 13th (2009). Roethlisberger ranked no better than 13th (2006) under Whisenhunt in Pittsburgh. ... The Bolts have improved on an offensive line that ranked 12th in average pocket time from a season ago.

Jared Goff: 3,456 yards, 17 TDs, 17 INTs, 88 rush yards, 2 rush TDs, 183.0 fantasy points
The Rams will have a new look on offense, as the team signed 31-year-old Sean McVay to be their new head coach. While Matt LaFleur will take over as the offensive coordinator, it's McVay who will serve as the play caller and be given the task of developing Jared Goff into an NFL quarterback. In his three years as the coordinator in Washington, McVay helped Kirk Cousins finish in the top 10 in fantasy points at the position twice (2015, 2016). ... While McVay, LaFleur and quarterbacks coach Greg Olson have good track records as talent developers, Goff will be hard pressed to make a real fantasy impact in an offense that will need to run through Todd Gurley to find success.

Jay Cutler: 3,569 yards, 21 TDs, 13 INTs, 186 rush yards, 1 rush TDs, 215.4 fantasy points
The Dolphins ranked dead last in the league in pass plays last season, as Ryan Tannehill finished 27th in fantasy points and 28th in pass attempts among quarterbacks (minimum 12 games). That was the worst rank any quarterback has had under the watch of coach Adam Gase since 2013. ... Tannehill averaged just over 14 fantasy points per game, which would have projected to around 232 points over a full season. ... With Tannehill injured, Jay Cutler will take over the offense. In his 2015, he had a career-best 92.3 passer rating under Gase's watch. However, Cutler ranked just 20th in fantasy points among quarterbacks that season. He'll be worth no more than a late flier in drafts.

Sam Bradford: 3,851 yards, 21 TDs, 10 INTs, 43 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 214.3 fantasy points
The Vikings ranked 11th in pass plays a season ago, which had much to do with a ground game that struggled to produce without superstar Adrian Peterson. ... In nine starts under offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, Sam Bradford averaged 271 passing yards but threw for just 12 touchdowns. On a positive note, he did have a 74.5 completion percentage and averaged 0.01 interceptions per pass attempt. Bradford also threw for six touchdowns in his final two starts. ... The Vikings were 29th in average time to throw (2.50) among offensive lines, but the addition of Riley Reiff and Mike Remmers (free agents), not to mention Pat Elflein in Round 3 of the NFL draft, should bolster the unit.

Tom Brady: 4,621 yards, 34 TDs, 7 INTs, 67 rush yards, 1 rush TDs, 315.5 fantasy points
The Patriots ranked 27th in pass plays and threw the football 54.5 percent of the time last season, which was down from the 63.5 percent the team recorded in 2015. ... Despite the decline, Tom Brady still averaged 21.4 fantasy points per game in his 12 starts (he missed the first four games due to a suspension). In his last eight seasons, he has finished in the top 10 in fantasy points seven times. He failed to reach the mark in 2013, but Rob Gronkowski missed nine games that season. ... With the addition of Brandin Cooks and Gronkowski's return from back problems, there's a great chance Brady's pass attempts could be back on the rise. He's well worth a top-60 overall selection.

Pete Carmichael has been the team's offensive coordinator since 2009, during which time Brees has finished no worse than sixth in fantasy points at his position. That includes four seasons where he's ranked first or second. Brees finished 15.1 points out of second place last season. ... The veteran out of Purdue has also attempted no fewer than 627 passes over the last seven seasons, during which time he's averaged better than 5,000 passing yards and 38 touchdown passes. ... Brees will again be one of the first five quarterbacks selected in all fantasy football drafts.

Eli Manning: 4,288 yards, 28 TDs, 15 INTs, 31 rush yards, 0 rush TDs, 248.6 fantasy points
The Giants ranked 12th in pass plays a season ago, but Eli Manning took a statistical step back. After finishing 10th in points among quarterbacks in each of his first two years under Ben McAdoo as the offensive coordinator, the veteran fell to 21st in Mac's first campaign as the head coach. ... The offensive line did him no favors, however, as the G-Men ranked 25th in average pocket time (2.26) and tied for 26th in time to throw (2.57). That line could be a massive problem again, as Pro Football Focus ranks it No. 28 overall. ... On a positive note, the addition of Brandon Marshall and rookie Evan Engram gives Manning some of the best weapons he's ever had at the professional level.

The Jets ranked 24th in pass plays and finished with a meager 16 touchdown passes against 25 interceptions last season. New offensive coordinator John Morton, who coached the team's wideouts a year ago, cut his teeth alongside some of the best coaches in football, most notably Pete Carroll (Southern California), Jim Harbaugh (49ers) and Sean Payton (Saints). Unfortunately, he now has the unenviable task of leading a team that enters the season with Josh McCown and Christian Hackenberg at the top of its depth chart. ... The Jets ranked 27th in average pocket time (2.22) a season ago, so whoever wins the job could be in for a long season. This is a situation to avoid.

The Raiders finished last season ranked 16th in pass plays, while Derek Carr was 13th in pass attempts among quarterbacks (minimum of 15 games). He also finished 10th in fantasy points among quarterbacks with just under 4,000 passing yards, all despite missing one game at the end of the regular season. ... The team promoted Todd Downing from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator, but most of the system former coordinator Bill Musgrave left behind will remain intact (with a few wrinkles). That's good news for Carr, who scored 20-plus fantasy points eight times in 15 starts last season and figures to be a prime bargain in the later rounds of 2017 fantasy football drafts.
