The 2022 NFL playoff race has reached full throttle, which means the usual complementary storylines are also at the forefront for those who won't reach the postseason. One centers around positioning for the 2023 NFL draft -- the Houston Texans are in the clear pole position for the right to select No. 1 as Week 16 begins. Another is about potential leadership changes for those who have experienced disappointing seasons, and that's where ESPN's NFL insiders Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler come in.

Graz and Fowler this week size up the current state of the coaching carousel, sharing names who might need strong finishes, discussing the interim coaches who are vying for the permanent roles and identifying who's next from the prospective pool of NFL head-coaching candidates. Our duo also dispenses upset picks and fantasy advice ahead of a critical week for both the real postseason and fantasy postseason.
