Many teams are studying free agency right now, looking at where they need to improve and who is available to fill that role.
There are valuable players at every position, and organizations are ready to throw the bank at them, but we are going to specifically look at the ones that impact your fantasy roster.
Obviously the franchise tag could take some players off that list, but this is a look at the current landscape and the top 20 free agents going into the 2024 season. Below we dive into a few notable players.
NFL Free Agents
D’Andre Swift (RB – PHI)
Swift came to Philadelphia and had his first 1,000+ rushing yard season, as he finally got to shine in the featured back role that he never saw in Detroit. But while his numbers look great due to volume, he dropped almost a full yard per carry (5.5 to 4.6), and his 4.7 yards per touch were a career-low. He could stay in Philadelphia, but when Saquon and Jacobs are off the market, teams may look to Swift.
Marquise Brown (WR – ARI)
The Arizona era for Hollywood Brown wasn’t good, and he averaged just 49.5 receiving yards per game and seven touchdowns in two years. Some of that had to do with injuries and the level of quarterback play in some games. Brown will likely land in a spot as a Y-receiver to compliment another top pass-catcher, and with his speed and separation abilities, he could find a profound role.
Austin Ekeler (RB – LAC)
Was this year the start of the decline for Ekeler, or a one-off? He was the star of every fantasy lineup in 2022, but this season was a massive drop-off. Much of it involved missing three games, but the Chargers were also a mess. It doesn’t look like he’ll return to the Bolts, so where he goes will be important, especially whether it’s a place where he can be the guy or if he’ll be part of a committee. Either way, Ekeler is still valuable as one of the best pass-catching running backs in the league.
Zack Moss (RB – IND)
With Jonathan Taylor getting a long-term deal, we should believe Moss is finding a new home. Moss proved he could handle getting a featured role with some fantastic performances while JT was on the PUP list. He might not get that full feature role, but he could see a team where he can get a solid snap share.
