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.

2025 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks

2025 NFL Free Agent Movement: Quarterbacks In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents. The draft can dramatically shake rosters. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major event of the “new” season. Therefore, it is important to note which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft. Let’s start with the most important position, which kicks off FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis. This is our 2025 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks. Player Pos. 2024 Team 2025 Team Type Age 2024 Salary Sam Darnold QB Vikings Seahawks UFA 28 $10,000,000 Zach Wilson QB Broncos Dolphins UFA 26 $8,787,695 Trey Lance QB Cowboys Chargers UFA 25 $8,526,315 Jacoby Brissett QB Patriots Cardinals UFA 33 $8,000,000 Marcus Mariota QB Commanders Commanders UFA 32 $6,000,000 Gardner Minshew QB Raiders Chiefs UFA 29 $5,840,000 Drew Lock QB Giants Seahawks UFA 29 $5,000,000 Jarrett Stidham QB Broncos Broncos UFA 29 $5,000,000 Andy Dalton QB Panthers Panthers UFA 38 $5,000,000 Justin Fields QB Steelers Jets UFA 26 $4,717,988 Joe Flacco QB Colts Browns UFA 40 $4,500,000 Jameis Winston QB Browns Giants UFA 31 $4,000,000 Mac Jones QB Jaguars 49ers UFA 27 $3,896,585 Jimmy Garoppolo QB Rams Rams UFA 34 $3,178,750 Daniel Jones QB Vikings Colts UFA 28 $3,125,000 Mason Rudolph QB Titans Steelers UFA 30 $2,870,000 Easton Stick QB Chargers UFA 30 $2,667,500 Taylor Heinicke QB Chargers Chargers UFA 32 $2,530,000 Cooper Rush QB Cowboys Ravens UFA 32 $2,500,000 Carson Wentz QB Chiefs UFA 33 $2,500,000 Joshua Dobbs QB 49ers Patriots UFA 30 $2,250,000 Brandon Allen QB 49ers Titans UFA 33 $2,020,000 Nick Mullens QB Vikings Jaguars UFA 30 $1,900,000 Kyle Trask QB Buccaneers Buccaneers UFA 27 $1,383,834 Josh Johnson QB Ravens Commanders UFA 39 $1,377,500 C.J. Beathard QB Jaguars UFA 32 $1,310,000 Kyle Allen QB Steelers UFA 29 $1,292,500 Russell Wilson QB Steelers Giants UFA 37 $1,210,000 Teddy Bridgewater QB Lions RETIRED UFA 33 $1,210,000 Jeff Driskel QB Commanders UFA 32 $1,150,000 Tyler Huntley QB Dolphins UFA 27 $1,125,000 Tim Boyle QB Giants Titans UFA 31 $1,125,000 Shane Buechele QB Bills UFA 27 $1,025,000 Feleipe Franks QB Panthers RFA 28 $985,000 Bailey Zappe QB Browns Chiefs SFA 26 $985,000 Desmond Ridder QB Raiders Raiders RFA 26 $985,000 Sam Ehlinger QB Colts RFA 27 $902,676 Tommy DeVito QB Giants Giants UFA 27 $832,500 Jason Bean QB Colts UFA 26 $840,000 Undeniably, Sam Darnold made himself a lot of money in 2024. However, the biggest concern is what teams are willing to make him a long-term offer as a franchise signal-caller. Darnold was on the path to a career journeyman before an injury and Kevin O’Connell put him in a position to succeed. Therefore, the best-case scenario for Darnold would be to re-sign in Minnesota. However, with J.J. McCarthy already in the fold, O’Connell and company may not be willing to spend $150 million to land Darnold for multiple years. Another thing helping Darold’s value is the complete lack of talent available in the remaining crop of 2025 free-agent quarterbacks. Russell Wilson is a declining asset but he can still be an average starter in the right situation. But at 36, his best days are behind him. The QB that Wilson replaced in Pittsburgh, Justin Fields, looks destined to be a backup. In all, the 2025 QB free-agent crop is one of the worst seasons in memory to require a veteran signal-caller.

2024 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: QB

There is certainly no shortage of analytics and data available to fantasy football enthusiasts. One of the most useful tools available to the well-prepared fantasy drafter is to break down the strength of schedule for each position. FullTime Fantasy‘s 2024 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: QB looks at the most crucial position to give you a draft-day edge. There is also a lot of strength of schedule analysis out there, but FullTime Fantasy breaks down the data in a unique way. In addition to season-long data, FullTime Fantasy Members get access to all positions including IDP. Also, the data can be sorted by remaining games and broken down into sections. This can be especially helpful for high-stakes and tournament drafters looking for the edge during the fantasy playoffs. Here is a deep dive into the 2024 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: QB and how to take advantage of that data this draft season. The numbers listed include Weeks 1-17. Favorable Schedules Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers) – After finishing as the QB in 2023, Brock Purdy is one of the most undervalued players in fantasy football. Purdy is a perfect fit in Kyle Shanahan’s offense. He led the NFL in yards per attempt and has one of the top supporting casts in football. Purdy has won 17 of his 21 career regular-season starts and oddsmakers expect that success to continue. San Francisco is projected to repeat as NFC champions and the 2024 NFL schedule sets up very favorably. In addition to six games against their defensively-challenged NFC West rivals, San Francisco’s second-half schedule has matchups against bottom-10 secondaries in Tampa, Miami, and Detroit. Also, that fantasy playoff slate versus the Dolphins and Lions looks appealing in tournament leagues. Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys) – There are myriad reasons to be concerned about Dak Prescott and the Dallas passing game peaking last season. However, if the Cowboys contend with top-5 offensive numbers again, their easy quarterback schedule will play a big role. After a challenging start, Prescott should thrive in the second half of the 2024 slate. Starting in Week 9, Dallas plays four consecutive games versus opponents that were below average in terms of ceding fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Additionally, the Cowboys have a phenomenal fantasy playoff stretch, including a home game against a Tampa defense that allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to the position and a fantasy finale in Philadelphia versus an Eagles’ secondary that surrendered the second-most. Sounds like an over/under north of 50 points. Just what the fantasy doctors ordered. Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears) – The Bears have never had a quarterback exceed 4,000 passing yards or throw for 30 touchdowns in a season. Enter No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, one of the most heralded QB prospects in recent years. Williams threw for 4,537 yards and 42 scores en route to 2022 Heisman honors at USC. Williams is an accurate gunslinger who will give Matt Eberflus and the Bears a legitimate shot at challenging franchise records in both categories right away. Chicago is stacked with weapons, including WRs D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, and RB D’Andre Swift. And Chicago’s schedule sets up well for Williams to post fantasy-relevant numbers immediately. The Bears have six games against opponents that ranked inside the bottom 7 in points allowed to QBs last season. Also, both of the team’s fantasy postseason tilts against Detroit and Seattle’s subpar secondaries will be in Chicago. Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers) – Last season, FullTime Fantasy’s strength of schedule analysis helped predict Jordan Love’s breakout. In 2024, Love again has an intriguing slate of games that indicate he won’t be a flash in the pan. The Packers get those six games against the weak NFC North secondaries. However, they also play the Chargers, Cardinals, Texans, Jaguars, Dolphins, and Seahawks. Each team was below average in allowing fantasy points to quarterbacks last season. Additionally, one thing that always needs to be factored into Green Bay’s schedule is the weather. Starting in Week 9, the Packers have six games that winter conditions could impact. Still, Love looked like the real deal in 2023 and will contend for top-10 fantasy numbers in his second season as the starter. Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) – When all is said and done, I believe Patrick Mahomes will be my QB1 for 2024. While last year was a bit of a struggle, Kansas City’s offseason additions, Josh Allen’s offseason losses, and KC’s schedule are indicative of a huge rebound for the league’s top signal caller. Expect the new offense to get out to a fast start. After a potentially tough opener, the Chiefs play three consecutive games versus opponents who were in the bottom 12 against the pass last season. Mahomes also gets to face the NFC South and has a tantalizing three-game home stretch starting in Week 13 against the Raiders. Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown are both huge upgrades for a Chiefs’ passing attack that was rather stagnant in 2023 without a downfield speed element. Plus, the seventh-easiest fantasy schedule for Mahomes sets up nicely for the two-time defending champs. Other schedules to target: J.J McCarthy (3rd), Bryce Young 5th), Lamar Jackson (8th) Difficult Schedules Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins) – Last summer, the concerns about Tua Tagovailoa were health-related. However, Tagovailoa stayed healthy for the first time in his career and led the NFL with 4,624 passing yards. While that was a huge plus, Tagovailoa only ranked 20th in fantasy points per game and offers nothing as a runner. Those are legitimate concerns at a QB position that is as deep as it’s ever been. Additionally, the schedule makers didn’t do the Dolphins any favors in 2024. Miami has the league’s hardest schedule for the QB position. The Dolphins have six games against the Jets (2nd), Bills (5th), and Patriots (8th) elite secondaries. Additionally, Miami’s fantasy playoff slate is imposing. In Week 16, the Dolphins host the defending NFC champions who ranked sixth against
2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks

2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents. The draft can shake rosters up dramatically. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major event of the “new” season. Therefore, it is important to take note of which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft. To kick off FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis, let’s open with the most important position. This is our 2024 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks. PLAYER POS TEAM AGE Kirk Cousins QB MIN 36 Baker Mayfield QB TB 29 Joe Flacco QB CLE 38 Gardner Minshew QB IND 28 Ryan Tannehill QB TEN 36 Jameis Winston QB NO 30 Jacoby Brissett QB WAS 31 Sam Darnold QB SF 27 Tyrod Taylor QB NYG 35 Joshua Dobbs QB MIN 29 Carson Wentz QB LAR 31 Marcus Mariota QB PHI 31 Sam Darnold QB SF 27 Drew Lock QB SEA 28 Mason Rudolph QB PIT 29 Trevor Siemian QB NYJ 32 Tyler Huntley QB BAL 27 Matt Barkley QB JAC 33 Kyle Allen QB BUF 28 Brett Rypien QB LAR 28 Blaine Gabbert QB KC 34 P.J. Walker QB CLE 28 Nathan Peterman QB CHI 29 Will Grier QB LAC 28 Jeff Driskel QB CLE 30 A.J. McCarron QB CIN 33 John Wolford QB TB 28 Brandon Allen QB SF 31 Logan Woodside QB ATL 29 Josh Johnson QB TB 37 Easily the top signal-caller available this year is Kirk Cousins. Cousins averaged 4,187 passing yards and 30.6 touchdown passes per season in his first five years with the Vikings. He was having his finest season to date in 2023 before a knee injury ended it after eight games. Cousins is still in his prime and could command something like a 3-year, $120 million deal this spring. This best-case scenario for fantasy would be re-signing with the Vikings. Baker Mayfield signed a modest 1-year $4 million deal with Tampa and delivered his finest NFL campaign. Mayfield threw for a career-high 28 touchdowns and led the Buccaneers to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. He exceeded all expectations and will command 6-7 times that 2023 salary on the open market. The Browns will have an interesting decision with re-signing Joe Flacco. Unfortunately for Cleveland, Deshaun Watson’s exuberant contract is fully guaranteed. Undoubtedly the Browns would like to have Flacco return, but he’ll earn a lot more than the $2.5 million he earned guiding the Browns into Wild Card weekend. Overall, Cousins and Mayfield are the only notable veterans who are fantasy-relevant. The 2024 free agents: quarterbacks class is very weak.
