Top Remaining NFL Free Agents
Top Remaining NFL Free Agents at QB, RB, WR, and TE We saw some fantasy-relevant players sign on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL free-agent signing period. However, there are still several top remaining NFL free agents available according to our 2025 Free Agent Tracker. Here are some of the top NFL free agents for fantasy football fans to monitor on Day 3 and beyond. Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers 2024 Stats (Projected): 3,500 yards, 28 TDs, 11 INTs, 64% completion rate, ~200 rushing yards (based on partial season data and historical performance). Rodgers played 2024 with the Jets, posting decent numbers (28 TDs per X posts) despite a rocky year and an announced split from the team. His stats reflect a decline from his peak but still show competence. Why He’s Top: At 41, Rodgers remains the biggest name among QBs, outranking Sam Darnold (signed with Seattle Day 1) and others like Justin Fields (Jets). His experience and arm talent make him a short-term starter option. Potential Fits: Tennessee Titans: With Will Levis struggling (hypothetical 2024 struggles assumed), Rodgers could stabilize the offense, mentoring Levis or a rookie. The Titans have $30M+ in cap space and need a QB bridge. The New York Giants are also interested in signing Rodgers. With the staff playing for their jobs, that makes sense. Additionally, Rodgers to Malik Nabers is intriguing. Analysis: Rodgers’ market may be tepid due to age and off-field drama, but his 2024 TD total suggests he can still produce. Teams needing a stopgap will bid, though retirement looms if interest wanes. Running Back: Nick Chubb 2024 Stats (Projected): 163 yards, 3.1 YPC, 2 TDs in 7 games (per SI.com, reflecting his return from a 2023 knee injury). Chubb returned in Week 7 of 2024 but struggled behind a poor Browns O-line, averaging a career-low 3.1 YPC. His 2022 peak (1,525 yards, 12 TDs) shows his upside when healthy. Potential Fits: Pittsburgh Steelers: If Jaylen Warren is tendered and Najee Harris walks (per PFF), Chubb could pair with Warren in a bruising backfield. Mike Tomlin’s admiration for Chubb (noted by PFF) aligns with their run-first identity. Dallas Cowboys: Seeking a downhill runner for Dak Prescott (per PFN), Chubb’s name value and 4.9 career YPC fit Jerry Jones’ splashy style. Cap space (~$20M post-Prescott extension) allows a prove-it deal. Analysis: Chubb’s 2024 was a shadow of his prime, but another offseason could restore his explosiveness. He’s a high-risk, high-reward RB2 for teams betting on a rebound. Wide Receiver: Stefon Diggs 2024 Stats (Projected): 45 catches, 600 yards, 5 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-ACL tear in Week 8 with Houston). Diggs started 2024 as Buffalo’s WR2 before a trade to Houston, where he was solid but not dominant (7.4 points/game per PlayerProfiler) until his season-ending injury. His 16.3 YPC career average persists. With Tee Higgins tagged and Amari Cooper/Keenan Allen still available, Diggs edges out due to his WR1 pedigree, despite his age (31) and injury. Potential Fits: New York Jets: Needing a WR2 behind Garrett Wilson (per PFN), Diggs could thrive with Justin Fields as the new QB. His route-running fits their intermediate passing game, and cap space (~$25M) works. Kansas City Chiefs: With DeAndre Hopkins gone, Diggs complements Xavier Worthy’s speed with savvy underneath work. Mahomes elevates his ceiling, and KC has ~$30M in cap flexibility. Houston Texans: A return to Houston also makes sense. Despite the club trading for Christian Kirk and signing other wideouts, the Texans are missing a stand-out WR2. Therefore, a reunion makes sense on both sides. Analysis: Diggs’ ACL recovery timeline (likely ready by camp) and declining WR1 status make him a WR2/3 in fantasy, but his fit with elite QBs could revive his 1,000-yard potential. Tight End: Evan Engram 2024 Stats (Projected): 40 catches, 450 yards, 3 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-shoulder surgery in late 2024). Engram missed half of 2024 with a torn labrum, leading to his Jaguars release to avoid a $19.5M cap hit. His 2023 peak (114 catches, 963 yards) shows his upside as a receiving TE. With Juwan Johnson and Mike Gesicki already signed, Engram’s the top TE left. His injury and age (31 by September) lower his stock, but his YAC ability (per The Athletic) stands out in a thin class. Potential Fits: Indianapolis Colts: With Mo Alie-Cox expiring (per PFF), Engram aids Anthony Richardson’s growth as a safety blanket. His 71.3 PFF receiving grade in 2024 fits Shane Steichen’s TE-friendly scheme (~$35M cap space). Denver Broncos: Sean Payton, who coached Engram’s Saints teammate Juwan Johnson, could target him for the starting role. Engram’s speed stretches defenses, and Denver has $43M in cap room (per ESPN). Analysis: Engram’s not a TE1 lock post-injury. But his 9.0-yard average depth of target (per PFF) makes him a mid-tier fantasy TE with upside in pass-heavy systems. A short-term deal is likely. Additional Notes Market Context: Day 1 saw 59 of the top 150 free agents sign (per The Athletic), leaving slim pickings at offensive skill positions. Rodgers, Chubb, Diggs, and Engram stand out as the best remaining at their spots based on X sentiment and web rankings. Stats Caveats: 2024 projections are based on partial data (e.g., Chubb’s 7 games, Diggs’ 8 games) and historical norms, as full-season stats aren’t finalized in sources. Fits Rationale: Teams were chosen based on cap space (per Spotrac/ESPN), QB/coaching stability, and scheme fit (e.g., PFF’s scheme notes), assuming 2024 roster gaps persist.

Fantasy Football Wish List
2024 Fantasy Football Wish List As we open the “off”season part of the 2024 NFL year, all 32 teams have a specific plan for improving. Even the two-time defending champs know they have needs to address, whether through impending free agency or the upcoming NFL Draft. The Fulltime Fantasy 2024 Fantasy Football Wish List approaches the needs of all 32 teams from a fantasy football perspective. What would fantasy fanatics like to see each squad do? Some of these options aren’t necessarily realistic but are meant to maximize the fantasy fun. After all, isn’t that what it’s all about? AFC East Buffalo Bills – Find a WR2 This is a great free-agent and NFL Draft class to find an impact wide receiver. The cash-strapped Bills aren’t currently in a position to sign one of the premier veteran wideouts. However, Buffalo has the No. 28 pick in the first round and will be in a good position to acquire an immediate starter. Pending free-agent Gabe Davis hasn’t been consistent enough and adding a playmaker opposite of Stefon Diggs would go a long way toward the Bills keeping their Super Bowl window open. Miami Dolphins – Unleash De’Von Achane Let’s ignore how Achane’s unreal efficiency wavered down the stretch for a minute. Instead, let’s embrace the rookie rusher who posted the RB4 numbers in points per game getting 200 touches as Miami’s 1a. Yes, Raheem Mostert is still under contract. However, Achane showcased that elite top gear and Mostert will be 32. As a starter, Achane could be a Chris Johnson or Jamaal Charles-esque fantasy asset. New England Patriots – Draft Jayden Daniels For the first time in over two decades, it is a new era in New England. As the Patriots move on from Bill Belichick, embracing an athletic, dual-threat quarterback would be a signal that it’s out with the old and in with the new. New offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt has a strong track record with quarterbacks and said he intends to build the offense around his players’ strengths. Daniels is an elite runner and passer and would be a huge step for the Patriots to return to credibility after a rare down year. New York Jets – Sign Aaron Rodgers Some pundits think the Jets signed Rodgers last season but I’m not seeing any stats for the veteran signal-caller. Instead, we suffered through an abysmal passing offense that had so much potential. Breece Hall was magnificent, and WR Garrett Wilson still managed to post WR2 numbers with Ham-and-Eggers under center. Imagine a full season with future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers under center. Insert rocket emoji. AFC North Baltimore Ravens – Sign Calvin Ridley The Ravens need WR help. More specifically, they need a consistent deep threat that can open up the offense and complement Zay Flowers. Marquise Brown (also a free agent) performed beautifully for the Ravens in 2021. Ridley just went 76/1,016/8 for the Jaguars and could post similar numbers with Lamar Jackson and Todd Monken. Cincinnati Bengals – Re-Sign Tee Higgins Reports indicate the Bengals plan to franchise tag Higgins. Hopefully, Higgins avoids a holdout and reports to camp on time. With Tee, Ja’Marr Chase, and Joe Burrow fully healthy next summer, Cincinnati would have a top-10 offense that would once again be very popular in the early rounds of fantasy drafts. Cleveland Browns – Bring Back Joe Flacco I’m a realist. There is no way that Flacco’s magical December run would carry over for a full season. But having him chuck it for 330 yards, three scores, and two picks every game would be awesome for fantasy purposes. Also, seeing Deshaun Watson wearing a knit cap as the most expensive backup quarterback in the league would be icing on the cake. Pittsburgh Steelers – Trade for Justin Fields This is the hot rumor of the day, and I’d like to see it. I like Fields, and reportedly Mike Tolmin does as well. I’m not sure how Fields would fit in a traditional Steelers offense. But at least Matt Canada is gone. Additionally, Fields has proven he can be an excellent fantasy option. With the Bears poised to snag Caleb Williams with the first pick in the draft, having two viable fantasy staters only strengthens the QB pool. AFC South Houston Texans – Re-Sign Dalton Schultz Houston has all the pieces in place to contend while they have C.J. Stroud playing for a rookie contract. The Texans will target a zone runner and could bring Devin Singletary back for a reasonable deal. Schultz posted top-10 PPR numbers and has already displayed chemistry with Stroud. Plus, the 2024 free-agent class of tight ends is barren, except for Schultz. Houston can add a WR3 via this deep draft class, but finding a proven safety valve for their young superstar thrower would be more difficult. A reunion seems like the best-case scenario for all parties. Indianapolis Colts – Re-Sign Michael Pittman Pittman emerged as a true No. 1 wide receiver in his fourth season. He ranked ninth with 156 targets, including a pair of games with 11-plus looks started by Anthony Richardson. Richardson was far more competent as a passer than many projected. That bodes very well for the Colts’ offense, which ranked 10th in points even with Richardson shelved for most of the season. Jacksonville Jaguars – Draft a WR With Calvin Ridley set to test the market and the Jaguars only having about $7 million in effective cap space, it looks like drafting a replacement is more likely than breaking the bank for a proven veteran pass-catcher. Jacksonville is set at RB,TE, and has two solid veteran wideouts. That’s a good landing spot for an incoming rookie. Finally, the 2024 rookie class is deep and talented. The club could target both lines early while still adding a quality receiver on Day Two. Tennessee Titans – Switch Full-time to Those Sweet Oilers uniforms It’s full-blown rebuild time for the Titans, who welcome a new head coach to begin
How Players Will Perform on New Teams
Every offseason there is a significant number of players on the move. Keeping track of these trades and free-agent signings is a vital part of fantasy football research. Knowing how players will perform on new teams can give you a
With training camps and preseason still ahead, there is plenty of time to get a feel for how these newcomers will fare in 2023. However, many drafts are already underway. That makes it important to have an understanding of how players will perform on new teams.
Here are the key players who were on the move this offseason and what to expect from a fantasy football perspective.
Quarterbacks
Aaron Rodgers (New York Jets) – There have been glowing reports out of New York that Rodgers has looked terrific. This is obviously great news for a Jets franchise that has long been searching for that franchise signal caller. At 39 and with three years of general decline and an adversarial relationship with the tame media in Wisconsin, it was fair to question if this would be another move that would blow up for the Jets. However, Rodgers attended all team OTAs and had noticeable zip on the ball. A prime Rodgers would be a boon for all members of the Jets. Particularly for future superstar wideout Garrett Wilson.
Derek Carr (New Orleans Saints) – Regardless of address, Carr isn’t going to make or break your fantasy squad. He does a solid job moving the chains and avoiding turnovers but lacks upside. However, Carr can fill in as a solid QB2 in Superflex formats. Carr should prove to be a solid upgrade over Andy Dalton for the Saints. Also, his history of heavily targeting his No. 1 wide receiver should mean big things for emerging star Chris Olave.
Jimmy Garoppolo (Las Vegas Raiders) – Carr’s replacement in Las Vegas is already off to a shaky start. Recent news emerged that Jimmy Garoppolo failed his physical with the Raiders, and now there is uncertainty about his immediate future. At best, Garoppolo can post similar numbers to Derek Carr. However, Garoppolo is even more of a game manager. Plus, it won’t be as easy for Davante Adams to post his usual stellar numbers. Overall, this is a downgrade for…

2023 NFL Contract Year Players
Although the 2023 NFL season has yet to kick off, fantasy football has become a year-round spectacle. With the enormous growth of dynasty football leagues, it is never too early to think about next season and beyond. Our 2023 NFL Contract Year Players lists all the fantasy-relevant players who are set to hit free agency next spring. Many think players are primed to perform their best when playing for a lucrative multi-year deal. Of course, some are also looking to just extend their career for one final run. The 2024 free-agent class is a mixed bag from a fantasy football perspective. There are some big running backs playing on one-year deals hoping to stay healthy and break the bank next spring. However, the lack of depth at receiver and tight end could result in some polarizing contracts. Here are the fantasy-relevant free agents ahead of the 2023 NFL season. * denotes restricted free agent Quarterbacks PLAYER POS TEAM AGE Kirk Cousins QB MIN 36 Ryan Tannehill QB TEN 36 Baker Mayfield QB TB 29 Jacoby Brissett QB WAS 31 Sam Darnold QB SF 27 Tyrod Taylor QB NYG 35 Marcus Mariota QB PHI 31 Sam Darnold QB SF 27 Jameis Winston QB NO 30 Gardner Minshew QB IND 28 Tyler Huntley QB BAL 27 Drew Lock QB SEA 28 Kyle Allen QB BUF 28 Brett Rypien QB LAR 28 Mason Rudolph QB PIT 29 Running Backs PLAYER POS TEAM AGE Jonathan Taylor RB IND 25 Saquon Barkley RB NYG 27 Derrick Henry RB TEN 30 Austin Ekeler RB LAC 29 Josh Jacobs RB LVR 26 Tony Pollard RB DAL 27 Joe Mixon RB CIN 28 D’Andre Swift RB PHI 25 Cam Akers* RB LAR 25 J.K.

2023 Free Agent Rankings: Tight Ends
There are lots of arguments for having the NFL Draft take place prior to the start of unrestricted free agency. Similar to the lackluster group of free-agent wideouts, the 2023 Free Agent Rankings: Tight Ends is sorely lacking. However, from a fantasy perspective, it is always good to be prepared for roster turnover. Here are our 2022 free agent rankings: tight ends. Also, check out our 2023 free-agent Quarterback, Running Back, and Wide Receiver rankings. Potential Starters PLAYER TEAM AGE REC YDS TD Dalton Schultz DAL 27 57 577 5 Evan Engram JAX 29 73 766 4 Mike Gesicki MIA 28 28 316 5 Irv Smith Jr. MIN 25 25 182 2 Hayden Hurst CIN 30 52 414 2 There aren’t many landing spots for Dalton Schultz that won’t be a downgrade. Schultz has built up a solid rapport with QB Dak Prescott. The result has been three consecutive top-10 fantasy campaigns for the soon-to-be 27-year-old. Should he re-sign with the Cowboys, Schultz remains a solid TE1 with top-5 upside. Evan Engram is annually overlooked. Engram capitalized on his one-year deal with the Jaguars and posted top-5 PPR numbers in 2022. However, it was only Engram’s fourth-best outing from a points-per-game perspective. Should the veteran tight end land with a QB1, expect Engram to be a solid value once again. He should be able to earn about $10 million annually on the open market. Miami’s new offense didn’t do Mike Gesicki any favors. Gesicki posted his worst numbers since his 2018 rookie campaign. As a result, he won’t earn anywhere near the franchise tag deal ($10.9m) he played under in 2022. But in the right offense, Gesicki can still be a solid downfield option. Speaking of forgettable 2022 showings, Irv Smith Jr. spent half the season on IR with an ankle injury. Smith commanded a lot of sleeper interest last offseason. However, the acquisition of T.J. Hockenson assures that Smith will have to play elsewhere. The 24-year-old is just about to enter his prime and can still be a solid fantasy TE2. Let’s call Hayden Hurst a fringe NFL starter. In two of his five seasons, Hurst has been solid. Both of those showings came playing the majority of reps in the first year of a new system. Ideally, re-signing with the Bengals would work best for Hurst’s 2023 prospects. However, Hurst should attract plenty of attention from other NFL squads. Fantasy-Relevant Options PLAYER TEAM AGE REC YDS TD Austin Hooper ATL 29 41 444 2 Robert Tonyan GB 29 53 470 2 Foster Moreau LV 26 33 420 2 Jordan Akins HOU 31 33 425 3 Dan Arnold JAX 28 9 135 0 Anthony Firkser ATL 28 9 100 0 The lack of depth in this free-agent class is evident when you peruse the second tier of available free agents. Austin Hooper can fill in as needed. He might sign a one-year “prove it” deal but Hooper will have trouble generating top-20 fantasy numbers even if he was a starter. Robert Tonyan will always have that glorious 2020 season. Even in a 2022 Green Bay offense desperate for pass catchers, Tonyan had a career-low 8.9 yards per target and only caught 2 touchdowns. If Tonyan can’t be a reliable option with Aaron Rodgers under center, he is not a player to be targeted on draft day. The sleeper of this group is Foster Moreau. Still just 25, Moreau had seven games with 3-plus grabs and filled in nicely for the injured Darren Waller. Moreau flashed enough to draw some interest around the league as a potential starter. Veteran Depth PLAYER TEAM AGE REC YDS TD O.J. Howard HOU 29 10 142 2 Geoff Swaim TEN 30 12 58 1 Adam Shaheen MIA 29 0 0 0 Chris Manhertz JAX 31 6 42 0 Drew Sample CIN 27 2 (-2) 0 Tyler Kroft NYJ 31 4 57 0 Josh Oliver BAL 26 14 149 2 Mycole Pruitt ATL 31 16 150 4 Zach Gentry PIT 27 18 109 0 This next group of veterans is unlikely to attract much attention as starters. Therefore, their fantasy potential is very limited. Some can be decent NFL contributors but are only fantasy-relevant in the deepest of leagues. Best of the Rest PLAYER TEAM AGE REC YDS TD Stephen Anderson ARZ 30 3 9 0 Ross Dwelley SF 28 3 105 1 Pharoah Brown CLE 29 12 117 0 Eric Saubert DEN 29 15 148 1 Kyle Rudolph TB 34 3 28 1 Jesse James CLE 29 0 0 0 Eric Tomlinson DEN 31 9 79 2 Tommy Sweeney BUF 28 1 7 0 Ryan Griffin NYJ 33 4 26 0 Blake Bell KC 32 2 20 1 Maxx Williams ARZ 29 3 18 0 Richard Rodgers LAC 31 1 4 0 Eli Wolf WAS 26 0 0 0 Marcedes Lewis GB 39 6 66 2 Most of these veterans will find work but are well off the fantasy radar. Even in the deepest of dynasty formats. The 2023 NFL season is around the corner, but it’s not too early to get access to the best help out there!
