Power Ranking Top Available Players After First Week of NFL Free Agency

Ezekiel Elliott - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, NFL Injury News

The first week of 2024 NFL free agency was a wild one, and there were a ton of moves to get excited about. The Ravens landed Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley joined the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Titans came out of nowhere to secure Calvin Ridley. Oh yes, and Kirk Cousins got another massive contract thanks to the Atlanta Falcons.

A lot of the big names are off the board, but several remaining free agents could make an impact in 2024. If your favorite team hasn't made many signings, there are still opportunities ahead.

In this article, we'll rank the top available quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, offensive line, and defensive free agents as of March 18 at 3:30 p.m. EDT. Let's dive in!
