2024 NFL Free Agents: Josh Jacobs, Dalton Schultz, Derrick Henry, Baker Mayfield

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

Josh Jacobs (RB – LV)

Jacobs largely regressed from his 2022 season, where he led the league in yards from scrimmage, but you can certainly put some of that blame on the dumpster fire that was the Raiders this year. He is still one of the best dual-running backs in the league and could be a vital piece in an offense that desperately needs a running back.

Dalton Schultz (TE – HOU)

Schultz made the move from Dallas to Houston and was a vital part of the success surprising success of that team. It isn’t the best list of free agent tight ends, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he re-signed with the Texans.

Baker Mayfield (QB – TB)

Mayfield got a prove-it deal from the Buccaneers, and he wasn’t even named the starter until the end of training camp. It was the right choice though, and Mayfield had the best season of his career, with highs in passing yards, touchdowns, and completion percentage. He could be highly sought-after for some quarterback-needy teams, but Tampa Bay should be the favorite to retain him.

Derrick Henry (RB – TEN)

The long reign of King Henry in Nashville is likely coming to an end, and he should be playing for a new team in 2024. People have wanted to write Henry off, as they couldn’t believe he could continue this level of production, but he put up another 1,000+ yard season and had a league-leading 280 carries. Henry is still among the toughest runners to take down in the league, with the third-most broken tackles amongst running backs and second-most yards after contact this year.
