While a few teams are still fighting for the right to be called Super Bowl champions, most teams have turned their attention to the offseason game planning. The 2024 NFL Draft is the highlight of the offseason. However, free agency plays a critical role in building Super Bowl contenders.
Here are the top five upcoming free agent quarterbacks and tight ends with an early look at how fantasy players should view them for 2024 redraft leagues and dynasty leagues. Below we dive into a few notable 2024 NFL Free Agents.

Free Agents
Jacoby Brissett (QB – WAS)
The veteran quarterback joined the Commanders this past offseason, hoping to be the starter. Instead, Brissett only attempted passes in Week 15 and 16 but never got the chance to start. He did play well on his 23 pass attempts, completing 78.3 of the attempts for 224 yards and three touchdowns against two talented defenses. Furthermore, Brissett averaged 15.8 fantasy points per game in his 11 starts with the Cleveland Browns in 2022. While the veteran might land a starting role in free agency, it likely will only be as a one-year bridge guy option.
- Early Redraft Outlook: A low-end QB2 if he lands a starting role this offseason.
- Offseason Dynasty Outlook: Worth rostering in superflex leagues as a high-end backup that has been solid as a starting quarterback in the past.
Ryan Tannehill (QB – TEN
After five years in Tennessee, Tannehill will likely play elsewhere in 2024. He had a solid run with the Titans, averaging 18.7 or more fantasy points in his first two years with the team. Tannehill was once one of the more underrated fantasy quarterbacks, totaling seven rushing touchdowns in 2020 and 2021. Unfortunately, his production fell off a cliff after losing A.J. Brown in a trade to the Philadelphia Eagles two years ago, averaging only 188.7 passing yards and 11 fantasy points per game. Tannehill should stick around as a backup quarterback, but his days as a starter are likely over.
- Early Redraft Outlook: None, not even worth drafting in superflex leagues.
- Offseason Dynasty Outlook: A potential QB4 in deeper superflex leagues with the hope that he is either a bridge gap option or a high-end backup with the chance to start.
Gerald Everett (TE – LAC)
The Chargers didn’t adequately replace Hunter Henry after he left in free agency. While Everett has been a solid contributor, he never became a consistent fantasy option. He was the TE23 in 2023, averaging 5.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, his lowest total since leaving the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran tight end has never averaged more than 6.9 fantasy points per game or totaled 600 receiving yards any year in his career. Everett likely won’t return to the Chargers with the team well over the salary cap.
- Early Redraft Outlook: A potential streaming option, depending on where he signs this offseason.
- Offseason Dynasty Outlook: Someone to leave on the waiver wire in shallower leagues or consider as a low-end TE3.
