Background
Nick Holz, who coached for the Raiders for 10 seasons from 2012-21, served the past two years as the offensive coordinator with the Tennessee Titans. Last season, Holz helped tutor No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Ward, who started all 17 games and threw 15 touchdown passes. During his first year in Tennessee, Holz helped direct a Titans offense that featured running back Tony Pollard and wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who produced 1,000-yard seasons rushing and receiving, respectively. From Week 10 to Week 18, the Titans tied for eighth in the NFL in gross passing yards (2,116) and ranked seventh in yards per attempt (7.64).
Scheme & Fantasy Angle
Holz returns to the Raiders after coordinating Tennessee's offense, where he oversaw 1,000-yard seasons from Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley and a top-eight passing stretch down the season's back half. As pass game coordinator, his fingerprints touch the Raiders' receiver and quarterback production.
