NFL free agency fever is in full swing, with several big-name players set to wear new uniforms this year. I've also seen high-end players traded, released, and re-signed, all of which have significantly changed my 2024 season player rankings.
The biggest mover at quarterback is clearly Justin Fields.Expected to be traded to Pittsburgh Steelers for reinforcements Russell WilsonFields went from being a top 12 general to being ranked unranked. top 30. I included the rookies, which is a futile exercise before the NFL Draft, but their rankings at least give you an idea of how I evaluate players based on skill set and first-year development. I understand to some extent.
The easiest first-year QB to rank is Caleb Williams, who seems destined to be drafted No. 1 overall by the Chicago Bears.New additions available d'andre swift, Keenan Allen and Gerald Everett At his disposal, let alone an incumbent like DJ Moore and Cole KmetWilliams is in a great position to shine on the stat sheet.
At running back, we're seeing absolute player movement and a slight increase. Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs and derrick henry With a new team.Includes several other runners Zack Moss and zamir whiteWe also saw their value increase based on player movement with their respective teams this offseason.
Conversely, changing teams had no effect. Austin Ekeler or tony pollard Anything will do. In fact, I have both ranked outside of the top 20 due to the backfield committee schedule.
The top of the wide receiver list has changed slightly as I have moved justin jefferson From No. 1 to No. 3 after departure kirk cousins. At this point, Cedee Lamb and Tyreek Hill My top two receivers.Speaking of Cousins, his presence in Atlanta drake london's stock is on the rise. He will be a popular breakout player.return of aaron rodgers have garrett wilson In my top 10 are: mike williamsand Marvin Harrison Jr. were in my top 20 even before he was drafted.
The receivers whose value has declined are Moore and Allen, who are not the team's clear top options and will likely compete for targets in the Windy City. calvin ridley and deandre hopkins Scratching each other's ceilings in Tennessee, marquise brown's presence in Kansas City makes Laci Rice at least slightly less appealing.
They moved Kyle Pitts back into the top 10 at tight end and moved Cousins under center. There are questions about his return from his torn ACL. TJ Hockenson Normally he would be in the top three along with Sam Laporta. travis kelsey. Speaking of Kelce, this is the first time since then that he wasn't a top-ranked tight end and I honestly can't remember. My top rookie, Brock Bowers, will be a low-end starter.
It's only March, so this list will likely change significantly over the next few months. With the NFL draft being the biggest factor, take my ranking of the rookies within this season's list with a grain of salt. All I can say is that whoever the Dallas Cowboys draft as their starting running back will be in my top 25 running backs, assuming that's the scenario.
Sit back, relax and enjoy. Fantasy football season is never far away!
