2024 Free Agency

[Lumps]

King Henry to the Ravens. Guess JK is out.

The Baltimore curse looms, Henry tears his ACL in May walking to his mailbox!

Oh no. Does that mean that Keaton Mitchell is on track to tear his achilles?

Mooney to ATL. Wow, three-year deal, $39M.

Was hoping for a KC landing spot to replace the droppable MVS position but this is a very good consolation prize

[jordanzs]

Mariota is signing with the 4skins

[PigeonBoys]

Gerald Everett to Chicago. What is it with the Bears and rostering like 7 TE's every year?

They don't want to be stuck looking like fools if six get hurt.

Was reading some PFF at work, motivation extremely low during NFL free agency lol. Anyway, found this interesting tidbit on Barkley from Nathan Jahnke.

https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-footba ... ree-agency

For Barkley, the big difference will be the offensive line .New York Giants running backs were stuffed in the backfield on 23.3% of runs last season, which was second-worst, while Eagles running backs were stuffed on 14.2%, which was second-best.
This led Eagles backs to see more than double the yards before contact per attempt from 0.9 to 1.9.
Barkley averaged 6.6 yards per carry last season when he saw at least one yard before contact, which ranked 10th best among running backs.
The only concern is the tush push. The Eagles only ran once with a running back when they were within two yards of scoring, which was tied for the fewest, but 14 times with Jalen Hurts, which was by far the most.
The Giants only ran four times with a running back within two yards of scoring last season, so there shouldn’t be a huge difference in touchdown production.

I knew the Giants were bad but four rushes inside the 2??? That's insane. Went and looked it up, 6 carries from inside the 5, resulting in 4 TD's. My goodness literally anywhere was better than in New York. The Eagles on the other hand, had 30 attempts from inside the 5 (hurts, 16, Swift 10, Gainwell 3, Scott 1), the Giants had 43 red zone attempts as a whole lol.

I think the stat I heard was 40+% of Swift’s yards were before contact.

Outside of the RZ stuff, yeah the 23% stuff rate got my attention, that's pathetic G men

Marquise Brown remains an interesting name. Injuries have derailed him but I think he's still pretty good and he'd be a good option in a few places.

I feel like offensive skill positions for fantasy are getting more and more saturated as the talent level coming into the league keeps getting better and better. I think this will ultimately lead to even more RBBCs (like SEA last year) and receiver groups where there really isn't an alpha on a lot of teams (see Green Bay). We shall see. QB is the only role not saturated so we don't have QBBC.... yet.

I can see that. Pollard & Spears feels like a classic case of what’s to come. This shift will make our dynasty best ball leagues even more fun than they already are

Hollywood will be taking his talents to KC. Just watch.

The league wants to push to 18 games. There's going to be more injuries and the issue of depth will be even more important than it already is.

It's just unrealistic these days to expect a team to have 1 RB who plays all the time and nothing else. Doesn't matter the size, no RB these days is equipped to play 18 healthy regular season games + potentially 4 postseason games every year. You need 2 good backs now.
