Key Fantasy Stats for the Primary 2024 NFL Free Agents
The most prominent free agents have the talent to excel on many potential teams. But the 2024 class carries a bunch of contextual baggage that could lead to marked statistical jumps or falls in different circumstances. With free agency set to start Wednesday (and the legal tampering period coming even sooner), I have summarized that […]

Russell Wilson Signs with Pittsburgh, Fantasy Impact
(FTN Fantasy is reacting to all the big fantasy news of the offseason! Follow along in our transaction tracker.) Russell Wilson reportedly plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, with a team-friendly, one-year contract.

2024 NFL Draft Scouting Report: J.J McCarthy
Last Updated: 3/10/2024 J.J. McCarthy is one of the most polarizing players in this draft class. In two full seasons as the Michigan starter, he produced back-to-back 2,700+ passing yard seasons and threw 22 touchdowns each season. He added a modest 632 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in his career. However, never taking over the […]

Mac Jones traded to Jaguars, Fantasy Impact
If there was any suspense left about whether the New England Patriots’ 2024 starting quarterback is on the roster, it all but evaporated Sunday with news that the team has agreed to trade Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a reported sixth-round pick. Jones, the team’s first-round pick (15th overall) in the […]

Ideal Landing Spots in 2024 Free Agency: Tight End
The tight end position isn’t exactly loaded in this year’s free agency, especially after watching Dalton Schultz return to Houston and the Dolphins agreeing to a deal with Jonnu Smith. Admittedly, there aren’t really any true difference-making tight ends in this class but some potential landing spots could raise some eyebrows. Check out the […]

Ideal Landing Spots in 2024 Free Agency: Wide Receiver
The depth of this year’s free agent wide receiver class recently took a hit with Tampa Bay re-signing Mike Evans and both Michael Pittman and Tee Higgins received the franchise tag. There are still some wideouts available that can help plenty of teams out, but not a ton of true difference-making talent. Thankfully, this rookie […]

The 2024 NFL Combine may have lost some appeal when presumed top picks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers decided to skip the drills.
