Sean Payton takes over Broncos play calling as Denver changes offensive approach

Broncos head coach Sean Payton announced he will call the offensive plays, marking a change for Denver's offense.

By Cole Hartwell

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said he will now call the offensive plays, according to a report from Adam Schefter. The move is part of a broader shift in coaching responsibilities around the NFL, with Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans also taking over defensive play calling for Houston.

What happened

Payton told reporters, “We’ll make a change offensively. I’ll call the plays,” Schefter reported. The announcement signals a new direction for Denver’s offense as Payton assumes a more direct role in game-day play selection.

In two days, two head coaches have taken over two units: Broncos HC Sean Payton is now calling Denver’s offense and Texans HC DeMeco Ryans is calling Houston’s defense. [Quoting @AdamSchefter: "Sean Payton to reporters today: “We’ll make a change offensively. I’ll call the plays.”"]

🏈 Fantasy impact

Payton calling plays could increase the value of Denver’s offensive players if the offense becomes more efficient, but until we see results, it’s hard to project major fantasy changes for Broncos skill players.
