Free Agents on the move
I think Fields is viewed as one of those wildcard players, who can't be projected with much accuracy. The rushing upside is huge but the passing production has been disappointing. I would encourage you to think less about the passing. Fields averaged 20.6 FPPG as a starter in 2024, 20.2 in 2023, and 21.9 in 2022. It didn't seem to matter what team name his jersey said, who his coach was, or who his number one receiver was, Fields produced like a top-12 QB. I'm more likely to rank him higher than where I projected him than lower. If you want some pessimism, I don't love this move for
Breece Hall or
Garrett Wilson.We're going to find out how much of the Kevin O'Connell magic sticks to Sam Darnold. I am not optimistic, especially after they traded away
DK Metcalf. As of now, Darnold is going from
Justin Jefferson,
Jordan Addison, and
T.J. Hockenson to
Jaxon Smith-Njigba,
Jake Bobo, and
Noah Fant. I'm only drafting Darnold in Superflex leagues.Be very cautious with running back projections this time of year. One of the best running back classes of the next decade is coming to the
NFL in less than two months. Harris could end up in a committee. For now? This landing spot looks pretty good. I will boost Harris in the projections and rankings if the Chargers do not make another significant investment at the position.Everything I said above applies to Williams, only more so. Still, the Cowboys were content to roll with
Rico Dowdle last year, maybe they will give Williams 18 touches per game and we'll finally see the player we thought the
Broncos drafted. I would view Williams more like a flex and expect the Cowboys bring in a rookie who eventually beats him out. There are at least six backs in this draft class who could do that.Yes, Joshua Palmer,
Mack Hollins,
Elijah Mitchell, and
Samaje Perine all changed teams yesterday. No, I don't plan on drafting any of them in the single-digit rounds of 2025 Fantasy Football drafts. Mitchell could be the one exception if gets into a true competition with
Isiah Pacheco.
