Welcome back to your favorite fantasy analysis site LAFB Network. Today we will be going over Matt LaFleur and his impact on your fantasy team. Sure, the Green Bay Packers went a few rounds in the playoffs and flipped their record from last year’s 6-9-1 to 13-3. But did his great season reflect onto your fantasy team? We will see.

LaFleur is our fourth installment on the coaching changes from last season; that makes us past the halfway mark for our old coaching changes. Currently, we have Adam Gase from the New York Jets and Bruce Arians with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers left. So stay tuned because we know how much both these new head coaches impacted our teams.

Matt LaFleur Playing With Your Fantasy Football Dreams

As you all know we’re going to be analyzing LaFleur’s best positional outputs to his worst. LaFleur made this fairly simple since when I calculated the totals of the QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs of this season and the last, the differences are crazy! Here are the differences between the seasons, then you can see how I begin my first stages of the analysis; +141.1, -20.48, -33.9, and -153.5.

If you had any Green Bay Packer players then you can probably figure out which position aligns with which number. Personally, I had only one and it is from the first category.

Rushing Game – Running Backs

2018-2019

Rush Yards – 1,325

Attempts – 282

Rush TDs – 14

Rec. Yards – 599

Targets – 104

Completions – 71

Rec. TDs – 1

2019-2020

Rush Yards – 1,582

Attempts – 356

Rush TDs – 17

Rec. Yards – 853

Targets – 133

Completions – 101

Rec. TDs – 8

I don’t want to be that guy, but LaFleur literally improved every scoring category for RBs in the Packer offense. He introduced a more efficient rushing game, involved the RBs in more passing plays and RBs like Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams scored a total of 10 TDs more than the previous season.

The only real problem with LaFleur’s new offense was trying to figure out which RB would be getting the lead role for the majority of the game. Of course, Jones started every game for the Packers but there were games, especially in PPR, where Williams was the star back.

Naturally, Williams had the five receiving TDs but contrasted with a single rushing TD. That leaves Jones grubbing most of the value in the backfield. Boy didn’t we get a bargain in the 3rd or 4th rounds of the fantasy draft.
