Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson aim to end Bears HC/QB turnover trend
The Chicago Bears have a long line of failed quarterbacks, and most recently, failed head coaches to boot. But Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson are determined to end that trend.
During an appearance at Fanatics Fest, Williams discussed his relationship with his new head coach and how they're aiming to turn it into a bond that lasts for the foreseeable future. He also discussed the pair's goal to end that head coach-quarterback turnover trend that's plagued Chicago for decades.
"I know Bears fans, it's year after year typically...where coaches and quarterbacks, specifically, are in-and-out," Williams said, via Ryan Garcia. "Our goal is to be here for a while."
Johnson is one of the NFL's brightest offensive minds, and he turned the Detroit Lions offense into a top unit in the league while reviving Jared Goff's career. Now, Johnson gets a chance to work with a young quarterback in Williams, who he praised before even taking the job. If there's anyone who can maximize Williams' potential, it's Johnson.
For as long as the Bears have been searching for coaching stability (since the Lovie Smith era), they've been looking even longer for a true franchise quarterback who can lead this team to a Super Bowl championship. And the pairing of Williams and Johnson has the potential to be a legendary one in Chicago.

Cowboys coordinator Matt Eberflus does this one thing extremely well
Matt Eberflus has earned the moniker of 'Linebacker whisperer' in his time as a position guru, defensive coordinator, and head coach in the NFL. Regardless of whether the player was drafted and developed by Eberflus, a veteran with success elsewhere, or a player he had to take to the next level, linebackers elevate while under his stewardship. As a linebacker coach and defensive coordinator, he helped develop Sean Lee, Bruce Carter, Anthony Hitchens, Damien Wilson, Jaylon Smith, Bobby Okereke, and Shaquille Leonard. Lee was drafted the season before Eberflus became the linebacker coach at Dallas and developed into an all-time great when healthy. In their first season together, Lee had 104 tackles, 10 for a loss, four interceptions, and seven pass breakups. He was fifth in the 2016 voting for Defensive Player of the Year and had his only first-team All-Pro season. Carter was a starter under Eberflus for three seasons. He had a season with 96 tackles, two sacks, three pass breakups, and five tackles for a loss. He had five interceptions and eight pass breakups in another season with Eberflus. Without Eberflus, he never started more than three games or recorded 50 tackles. Anthony Hitchens and Damien Wilson were fourth-round picks who Eberflus developed into starters all four years of their rookie contracts, and they each went on to start and win a Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs. Jaylon Smith had two seasons with Eberflus, coming off a career-threatening injury. He was fifth in Comeback Player of the Year voting in 2017 and later developed into a Pro Bowler. As a defensive coordinator for the Colts, Eberflus oversaw the drafting and development of both Leonard and Okereke. Okereke became a linebacker who averaged over 120 tackles a season and has been in the top 10 in solo tackles three times in six seasons. Leonard developed into a star. He started 58 games and averaged 134.5 tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss, nearly three interceptions, 7.5 pass breakups, over four forced fumbles, and almost four sacks. He was a three-time All-Pro and won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Dallas is very young at linebacker, with Marist Liufau, DeMarvion Overshown, and Shemar James having a season or less of experience on the field. Veterans Kenneth Murray, Jack Sanborn, and Damone Clark will also improve under his tutelage. There have also been journeyman linebackers who saw significant upticks while playing for Eberflus. David Bowens had one season as a full-time starter in 10 years. He was a defensive end who transitioned to linebacker when Eberflus took over as the position coach in Cleveland. Bowens went from a high of 43 tackles to 71 and had a career-high 12 QB hits in 15 starts. In the same 2009 season, Matt Roth played four games without a start for the Miami Dolphins before being released. He was claimed off waivers by the Browns, where he started the final six games with Eberflus as linebackers coach. The following year, he started all 16 games, and in that 22-game span, he accumulated 114 tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 12 tackles for a loss. Anthony Spencer became a significant impact player and a Pro-Bowler in his second year working with Eberflus. He nearly doubled his highest sack total with 11 and had his highest tackles for a loss, too. His personal-best in tackles went from 67 to 95, and he did it in only 14 starts. Rolando McClain won Comeback Player of the Year in 2014 with Eberflus after missing seven games in 2012 and the entire 2013 season. All in all, Eberflus' influence should rear it's head pretty quickly with his new troops in Dallas.

Chuba Hubbard wants to play Olympic flag football for Canada
Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard hails from Edmonton, Alberta. And he's already thinking about wearing a flag with a maple leaf in the middle during the 2028 Olympics. David Newton of recently asked Hubbard whether he wants to represent Canada in the flag-football tournament. 'Hell yeah!'' Hubbard said. 'I don't know the process or anything, but I plan to still be in this league and thrive in 2028. So, if they want me to become a part of it, it would be an honor.'' The desire flows from Hubbard's boyhood goal to become an Olympic sprinter. Football changes his priorities. Could a team of Canadian NFL players compete with an American team? 'You're asking the wrong guy,'' Hubbard said, smiling. 'I'm going to say we're going to win no matter what.'' However the Canadian team fares, coach Chad Palmer has already made clear his belief that NFL players will outshine career flag-football players. So if Hubbard wants in, he'll likely have a spot. As long as no one else from the Panthers has dibs on the one Olympic assignment per NFL team.

What to expect from Christian McCaffrey in fantasy football this season
There hasn't been any major Christian McCaffrey news this offseason, which is good news for the San Francisco 49ers and fantasy football managers who either have or want to draft the 2023 Offensive Player of the Year. McCaffrey dealt with Achilles tendinitis last year that cost him most of training camp and the preseason, along with the first eight weeks of the regular season. Shortly after his return he sustained a knee injury that sent him to the sidelines for the rest of the year. Now the 49ers' superstar RB is back and participated in full during OTAs and mandatory minicamp. His trajectory says he's in line to return to the workhorse back role he held in 2023 when he snagged his second OPOY award. However, that doesn't mean fantasy managers should be launching McCaffrey back to the top of their draft boards where he sat going into drafts last year. It's impossible to know via OTAs and minicamp just how "back" McCaffrey is. We won't know that until he gets to practice with pads on and perhaps take a couple hits in preseason games. Even if he is some close facsimile of the player he was prior to his Achilles injury, it would be a surprise if the 49ers gave him the type of volume he got in the 2023 campaign. That year he racked up an NFL-high 339 touches in 16 games while playing 81 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Last season coming off the Achilles injury that number actually jumped. He played 87.5 percent of the snaps in his season debut vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That jumped to 93.7 percent the next week against the Seahawks, and fell to 81.6 percent in a blowout loss to the Packers. He got hurt in his fourth game and only played a quarter of the snaps. We're expecting the 49ers to learn from last season when they immediately thrust McCaffrey back into heavy workloads despite having capable players like Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo on the roster. The result was an injury early in his fourth game back. Guerendo showed last season he has enough pass-catching chops to get on the field without compromising the multifaceted skill set McCaffrey has on the 49ers' offense. The club also retained Israel Abanikanda and Patrick Taylor, and selected Jordan James in this year's draft. They also signed Corey Kiner as an undrafted free agent. That group should give the 49ers enough in the offseason to build out a running back room that doesn't force the club to rely on McCaffrey. Instead, they can make him their clear RB1 while also giving him more consistent snaps off. This isn't to say McCaffrey's fantasy value will plummet. Even if his effectiveness is a question mark, the team has a ton of question marks at wide receiver which may push quarterback Brock Purdy to utilize McCaffrey more often in the passing game. It's worth noting McCaffrey was targeted 19 times in four games last year, including three times in 12 snaps in Week 13 before his injury. That's an 81-target pace, which is in line with the 83 targets he got in 2023. Opportunities are still going to be there for McCaffrey and he remains one of their most consistent receiving threats. McCaffrey is currently the RB5 with an average draft position of 11.5 according to Fantasy Pros. We'd love to get McCaffrey in the back end of the first round given the upside of another OPOY season. Even if he doesn't reach those heights, and even if some of his snaps are eaten into by other RBs, there should be enough volume to justify making him a first-round pick. McCaffrey drafters should also make sure to tack on Guerendo (RB48, 145.5 ADP) late. Just in case. More 49ers: New 49ers linebacker shows tremendous grit after suffering injury in workout
