The NFL’s free-agency frenzy has been a wild ride, as several big-name players will be wearing new uniforms this year. We’ve also seen high-end players get traded, released and re-signed, and all of it has seriously shuffled my 2024 seasonal player rankings.
At quarterback, the biggest mover is obviously Justin Fields. Traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers and projected to back up Russell Wilson, Fields went from a top-12 field general to being ranked outside the top 30. I have also included rookies, which is an exercise in futility before the NFL draft, but their ranking at least gives you some idea of how I value the players based on their skill set and upside in their first year.
The easiest first-year quarterback to rank is Caleb Williams, who seems destined to be drafted first overall by the Chicago Bears. With new additions D’Andre Swift, Keenan Allen and Gerald Everett at his disposal, not to mention incumbents like DJ Moore and Cole Kmet, Williams is in a terrific position to shine in the stat sheets.
