Teams volition hold out looking to shed salary on top of the players already listed equally gratis agents. As of today these are the top listed FA’s looking for novel contracts. The Fantasy Football touching on is definitely existent equally players entertain staying amongst their clubs or moving on to a novel system. Exciting times are upon us, equally teams commence to re-tool in addition to produce for side past times side season. It’s fourth dimension to speculate!
Top Free Agent Running Backs:
LeVeon Bell (PIT)
Age: 27 | 2018 Salary: N/A | FA Rank #1
Once i time again nosotros observe ourselves discussing the hereafter of the keen LeVeon Bell forthwith that he i time again is a gratis agent, but this fourth dimension without the restrictions of a franchise tag.
There is no query that Bell is silent the cream of the crop at the running dorsum position, leaving many running dorsum needy teams licking their chops at the possibility of signing him this offseason. You volition hold out hard pressed to observe a individual that volition undersell the prospects of Bell improving a squad from 24-hour interval one, but the query grade volition ever be, how much is likewise much to pay running backs inwards this NFL.
It’s clear that coin is the driving constituent for Bell in addition to rightfully so. In 2017, Bell touched the ball a whopping 406 times leading the NFL inwards that category for all players at his position. If nosotros were to identify a dollar figure on the workload, Bell was existence paid roughly $35,714 per touch, were equally his counterpart Todd Gurley (who was gifted a novel contract extension of 4 years lx million), touched the ball 343 times inwards 2017 which would equate to $43,731 per touching nether his novel contract.
Recent rumors have got suggested that Bell has his eyes assault playing for the Colts who have got an upwardly in addition to coming squad amongst a boatload of cash on the books. In his eyes that would hold out a win-win province of affairs which could come upwardly to fruition. Provided Bell lands on a corporation squad, he should observe his way dorsum atop the NFL statistical ranks.
2019 Potential Fantasy Impact: High
Mark Ingram (NO)
Age: 29 | 2018 Salary: $4,000,000 | FA Rank #2
When the Saints drafted Mark Ingram, nosotros at ADF were somewhat lukewarm on the runner believing he had ability, but something was lacking from his overall game.
Heading into the 2019 offseason, our origin impression of Ingram couldn’t hold out farther from our idea procedure today. We have got gained massive amounts of abide by for his game in addition to powerfulness to alter the dynamic of each challenger inwards both the run in addition to the pass. Mark has done a keen chore over his career to improve his exceed catching powerfulness making him a truthful duel threat. Now seeing a tandem amongst Alvin Kamara, Ingram has been utilized perfectly without over using the big bodied back.
Mark has latterly voiced his appreciation for New Orleans in addition to the Saints scheme vowing that he would indeed prefer to rest amongst the club. However, knowing that this may hold out his concluding shot at securing big coin for his career, he’ll for sure have got to weigh his options. If Mark remains amongst the Saints, nosotros should expression similar production equally inwards the past, but if he finds his way to around other squad, the prospects could hold out quite different. Either way, Ingram has proven he tin terminate hold out a trusted instrumentalist inwards this league.
2019 Potential Fantasy Impact: Moderate/High
Tevin Coleman (ATL)
Age: 26 | 2018 Salary: $804,843 | FA Rank #3
One of the virtually exciting gratis agent running backs that we’ll hold out keeping a unopen optic on come upwardly gratis agency, the Falcons Tevin Coleman has a brilliant hereafter in addition to looks to cash inwards big on the opened upwardly market.
Some may scoff at the notion that Coleman volition hold out anything to a greater extent than than a secondary dorsum inwards the NFL, but nosotros persuasion this quite differently based on his trunk of work. Throughout his fourth dimension inwards Atlanta, Coleman has been underutilized but highly productive when given the opportunity. Knowing that the Falcons have got Devonta Freeman locked upwardly to a multi-year big coin deal, the writing is on the wall that Coleman volition have got his suitors come upwardly March 14th.
Tevin is a truthful multi-purpose dorsum that has proven he tin terminate run the ball amongst keen effectiveness (career average 4.4 yards per carry), spell existence able to handgrip passes inwards the opened upwardly plain securing 92 receptions for over grand yards inwards his 4 years amongst the Falcons. In price of youth in addition to potential, Coleman could hold out the virtually sought afterward running dorsum this limit giving value on the dollar he should entertain.
2019 Potential Fantasy Impact: Moderate/High
Latavius Murray (MIN)
Age: 28 | 2018 Salary: $5,000,000 | FA Rank #4
Outside of the top 3 backs on the opened upwardly market, the remaining runners should have got involvement inwards their ain right but may non hit the dollar figures they mightiness promise for.
The Vikings Latavius Murray has done a fine chore inwards Minnesota taking over the rushing responsibilities when Dalvin Cook was lost to a flavor ending injury, in addition to filling inwards equally the alter of measuring back. While his trunk of travel is ameliorate than decent, nosotros actually wonder how sort the opened upwardly marketplace volition hold out to Murray. Last twelvemonth Latavius made a salubrious five meg inwards salary but should ultimately come across that number fade.
At 28 years of age, in addition to a draft flat filled amongst talented runners, Murray should hold out able to observe a domicile but at a discounted rate.
2019 Potential Fantasy Impact: Low
Adrian Peterson (WAS)
Age: 34 | 2018 Salary: $1,015,000 | FA Rank #5
The ageless wonder in addition to hereafter hall of famer showed the viewing world that fifty-fifty at 33 years young; he could silent crevice the grand yard rushing grade inwards this league.
Adrian Peterson is cutting from a dissimilar mold proving that having gifted physical powerfulness tin terminate trump the mantra that running backs pass upwardly afterward 30. Even still, AP mightiness observe it hard to entice around other scheme to supply him around other chance giving that he volition instruct inwards historic menses 34 this season. Showing that he was able to compete inwards all xvi games this flavor for the Redskins spell touching the ball 271 times, Peterson could muster i to a greater extent than corporation campaign.
2019 Potential Fantasy Impact: Moderate/Low
TJ Yeldon (JAX)
Age: 25 | 2018 Salary: $1,478,444 | FA Rank #6
The Jacksonville Jaguars were i time again forced to scroll amongst TJ Yeldon for much of the flavor given the wellness issues of Leonard Fournette. It’s quite clear that the trunk of travel Yeldon has placed on his resume isn’t something of keen success; he does possess value inwards the exceed game.
While TJ does have got a positive career rushing average (4.0 yards per carry), he never has amounted to anything spectacular inwards price of yards in addition to rushing touchdowns. The staff of life in addition to butter inwards Yeldon’s game has come upwardly inwards the shape of the exceed onrush where he has caught a salubrious 171 passes inwards his origin 4 years inwards the league. TJ was a origin downward machine this flavor afterward catching passes securing 21 origin downs; this could hold out a really of import stat inwards finding a novel home.
Any squad looking to upgrade their exceed catching in addition to 3rd downward dorsum could instruct a handle deal for the amount of productivity he could provide. We would dearest to come across Yeldon observe his way to a squad similar the Eagles or Vikings taking over that secondary dorsum role becoming a PPR darling. Yeldon’s outlook would hold out determent on who he signs with.
2019 Potential Fantasy Impact: Moderate/Low
CJ Anderson (LAR)
Age: 28 | 2018 Salary: $790,000 | FA Rank #7
Essentially dorsum from the dead, based on his recent playoff success amongst the Rams, CJ Anderson placed himself dorsum on the radar to garner a novel contract this offseason.
The Rams could hold out front end runners to re-sign Anderson if this triumph continues; however, CJ may have got other suitors come upwardly out of the woodwork forthwith that they i time again witness what he’s capable of. Anderson may never render to existence a total fourth dimension running dorsum inwards this league, but could have got standalone value if teamed amongst the right province of affairs similar the i amongst the Rams. Anderson won’t fetch big dollars on the opened upwardly marketplace but should hold out housed on someone roster to commence the 2019 season.
2019 Potential Fantasy Impact: Moderate/Low/Unknown
Raheem Mostert (SF)
Age: 27 | 2018 Salary: $705,000 | FA Rank #8
The 49ers unknown man, Raheem Mostert made waves when he was forced to start due to injuries to Matt Breida in addition to carried himself quite well. His display was cutting brusque due to suffering his ain severe arm injury but could’ve done plenty to instruct a few clubs looking inwards his direction.
With the 49ers potentially getting Jerick McKinnon dorsum from his ACL injury, in addition to Matt Breida surly keeping his identify on the roster, Mostert could observe a secondary role on around other squad side past times side season. His outlook may non hold out favorable inwards price of generating salubrious statistics, but he should hold out able to at to the lowest degree carve out a exceed catching role afterward showing skillful powerfulness inwards that department.
2019 Potential Fantasy Impact: Low
Jay Ajayi (PHI)
Age: 26 | 2018 Salary: $625,203 | FA Rank #9
Some may query the placement of Jay Ajayi existence the 9th ranked running dorsum on our gratis agent list, but coming off an ACL injury, nosotros would hold out quite cautious inwards handing out coin here.
ADF has never been a huge fan of the Jay-Train, equally he doesn’t exemplify what nosotros would covet inwards a running dorsum inwards both existent in addition to fantasy worlds. Yes Ajayi has seen around levels of productivity to warrant a expression over past times many teams, but his history of genu injuries, in addition to lack of overall speed should instruct out him amongst fewer telephone calls i time the marketplace opens inwards the spring. NFL teams are trying desperately to seek that finding running backs is a unproblematic project these days, in addition to paying whatever amount of coin to damaged goods amongst express skillsets isn’t something that teams are willing to do.
Some guild may give Ajayi a shot based on his age, but nosotros actually have got picayune confidence that Jay volition muster anything particular inwards 2019.
2019 Potential Fantasy Impact: Low/Non-Existent
Kareem Hunt (FA)
Age: 23 | 2018 Salary: $642,885 | FA Rank #10
Rounding out the best remaining gratis agent running backs, nosotros identify quondam Kansas City Chief Kareem Hunt at 10 precisely because of his off-field issues. Hunt may never play around other downward inwards the NFL cheers to his indiscretions caught on video, but based on his historic menses in addition to talent, i guild may hold out willing to buck the PR-headache in addition to sign the runner.
There is no query that Hunt was establishing himself equally a premier dorsum inwards this league earlier it all went sideways, but whichever squad is willing to have got on the risk, they could have a instrumentalist that volition travel a fixture on their squad for many years. Even if Hunt is on a roster coming preparation camp, he volition hold out suspended past times the NFL nether the personal behave policy. His 2019 flavor is genuinely upwardly inwards the air.
