Figured since we are just about done with a third of the season and are seeing how the NFL is shaking out, we should get some discussion going around the 2021 FA class and the potential landing spots.
Notable Players by position:

Quarterbacks:
Dak Prescott
Philip Rivers
Jameis Winston
Cam Newton
Andy Dalton
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Jacoby Brissett
Tyrod Taylor
Mitchell Trubisky
Taysom Hill

Running backs:
Aaron Jones
Phillip Lindsay
Leonard Fournette
Kenyan Drake
Todd Gurley
Tevin Coleman
Matt Brieda
James Conner
Chris Carson
Marlon Mack
Adrian Peterson

Wide receivers:
Chris Godwin
Allen Robinson
Kenny Golladay
JuJu Smith-Schuster
A.J. Green
Marvin Jones
T.Y. Hilton
Will Fuller
Corey Davis
Sammy Watkins

Tight ends:
Hunter Henry
Jared Cook
Gerald Everett
Vance McDonald
Greg Olsen
Jonnu Smith


Ideal landing spots by position (assuming all free-agents leave their teams):
Running back:
ATL, HOU (assuming DJ doesnt have much left in the tank), Steelers, San Fran, ARI, MIA

Wide Receivers:
KC, PHI, GB, CHI, TB, LAR, IND, HOU (assuming 1 or 2 of their highly overpaid WRs gets moved), DET

QB and TE:
Anywhere without an established stud, so just about anywhere

Good list. I'll throw in some others.

Snead- Always liked Snead for his ability to find holes in secondaries
Burkhead- Anyone leaving that NE RB merry go round is worth watching
Demarcus Robinson- Robinson, like Watkins, could get a chance to leave that WR2 platoon in KC
Others- Curtis Samuel, Yeldon, Dion Lewis, McKinnon, Rashard Higgins, Dede Westbrook, Ross Dwelley (RFA), Gus Edwards (RFA), Tim Patrick (RFA), Jamaal Williams, Marvin Hall, Tonyan (RFA), Antonio Callaway (people scooping him up this week)

Ignored ERFAs.

Leonard Fournette in a Steelers or 49ers uniform would be amazing. Bucs or Bears would be OK too.

Assuming Connor is gone, how much of priority should it be to obtain McFarland? Or would Snell be the man?

NYJ is a top WR landing spot for fantasy assuming they get Lawrence, far better than KC who has a lot of competition for targets and no money to sign a big name anyway.

Imo it's snell, he's who they went to this year already

I think the Steelers 2021 starter isn't on the team yet if it's not James Conner.

I’m thinking this and hoping this.

I think the tide is shifting toward McFarland. He was the direct backup in week 8 and the tide of snap share has seemed to progress in his favor. Obviously early to make this speculation but if I was trying to get out ahead of a potential Conner departure I’d look into getting McFarland cheap.

Agree with earlier poster that there is significant risk the Steelers look for a FA vet or the draft if Conner walks.

Golladay getting slammed with an injury plagued year. 5 straight games missed. Curious if he hunts for one year deals. Curious if those're the only offers he gets.

Didn't Belichick respect Newton, too?

Teams always pay for receivers and Golloday has done enough when healthy to know he’s a baller. I think Detroit needs to make it a priority to resign him, they don’t have an alpha there to replace him and have too many other holes to fill.

I also think DET extends him. If not, id love him to end up on my Colts.

They definitely have the cap space for it.

Where do we think Chris Carson signs? Maybe a 2 year deal with the Seahawks or Steelers? Fits both schemes well.
