Dynasty Fantasy Football: Deep Sleeper Targets After NFL Free Agency
Dynasty Fantasy Football: Deep Sleeper Targets After NFL Free Agency With the recent wave of free-agent signings settling, these players are poised for a significant fantasy value boost heading into the 2025 season. This is the time to send out trade inquiries for Dynasty Fantasy Football: Deep sleeper targets after NFL free agency. As the free-agent chaos begins to wind down, the football world shifts its attention to next month’s NFL Draft. With the biggest offseason event approaching, Dynasty Fantasy Football drafts are gaining momentum. Especially at the Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC). While high-profile stars have found new homes, targeting lesser-known players through trades or late picks could unlock huge dynasty potential. Let’s dive into three Dynasty Fantasy Football deep sleeper targets after NFL free agency. Brenton Strange (TE) Jacksonville Jaguars The Jaguars parted ways with starting tight end Evan Engram after an injury-riddled 2024 season, opening the door for Brenton Strange. Selected in the second round of the 2023 draft, Strange jumps into fantasy relevance with a clear path to the starting role. The Penn State alum finished as the TE31 last season in a backup capacity, recording 40 catches, 411 yards, and two touchdowns in his second year. Jaguars’ GM James Gladstone offered a glimpse into Strange’s future at the NFL Combine, sparking interest among fantasy managers. “We’re thrilled with his growth in Year Two, and we see him playing a bigger role in the offense moving forward—something we haven’t fully tapped into yet,” Gladstone noted. With slot receiver Christian Kirk traded and Engram now with the Denver Broncos, 21.3% of last season’s targets are up for grabs in Jacksonville. Strange, who delivered four double-digit PPR outings in 2024, is a prime target to pursue over the coming months. Elijah Mitchell (RB) Kansas City Chiefs After three years with the 49ers, Elijah Mitchell inked a one-year deal to join the Kansas City Chiefs. The 2021 sixth-round pick showed promise when healthy in San Francisco, racking up 10 touchdowns across 27 games. Now in Kansas City, Mitchell sits behind only Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt on the depth chart, making him an intriguing stash in dynasty formats. When Pacheco was sidelined last season, Hunt stepped up to finish as the RB31. Although the team re-signed Hunt, they traded for Mitchell for a reason. Available on many waiver wires, Mitchell is a late-round dynasty draft steal. He offers upside if Pacheco misses time again in 2025. Josh Palmer (WR) Buffalo Bills With Amari Cooper and Mack Hollins still unsigned, the Bills signed former Chargers wideout Josh Palmer to a three-year, $36 million contract. Over four seasons with Los Angeles, the Tennessee product amassed 182 receptions, 2,287 yards, and 10 touchdowns in 59 games. Now joining a Buffalo offense alongside Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman, Palmer is in line for significant playing time, given his lucrative deal. Averaging 15.1 yards per catch over the past two years, Palmer is a hidden gem currently ranked as the WR104 in Fulltime Fantasy’s Dynasty ADP. Snag this sleeper now—he’ll be catching passes from reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen in 2025. The 2025 NFL season is underway, but it’s not too late to get access to the best help out there!

Top Remaining NFL Free Agents
Top Remaining NFL Free Agents at QB, RB, WR, and TE We saw some fantasy-relevant players sign on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL free-agent signing period. However, there are still several top remaining NFL free agents available according to our 2025 Free Agent Tracker. Here are some of the top NFL free agents for fantasy football fans to monitor on Day 3 and beyond. Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers 2024 Stats (Projected): 3,500 yards, 28 TDs, 11 INTs, 64% completion rate, ~200 rushing yards (based on partial season data and historical performance). Rodgers played 2024 with the Jets, posting decent numbers (28 TDs per X posts) despite a rocky year and an announced split from the team. His stats reflect a decline from his peak but still show competence. Why He’s Top: At 41, Rodgers remains the biggest name among QBs, outranking Sam Darnold (signed with Seattle Day 1) and others like Justin Fields (Jets). His experience and arm talent make him a short-term starter option. Potential Fits: Tennessee Titans: With Will Levis struggling (hypothetical 2024 struggles assumed), Rodgers could stabilize the offense, mentoring Levis or a rookie. The Titans have $30M+ in cap space and need a QB bridge. The New York Giants are also interested in signing Rodgers. With the staff playing for their jobs, that makes sense. Additionally, Rodgers to Malik Nabers is intriguing. Analysis: Rodgers’ market may be tepid due to age and off-field drama, but his 2024 TD total suggests he can still produce. Teams needing a stopgap will bid, though retirement looms if interest wanes. Running Back: Nick Chubb 2024 Stats (Projected): 163 yards, 3.1 YPC, 2 TDs in 7 games (per SI.com, reflecting his return from a 2023 knee injury). Chubb returned in Week 7 of 2024 but struggled behind a poor Browns O-line, averaging a career-low 3.1 YPC. His 2022 peak (1,525 yards, 12 TDs) shows his upside when healthy. Potential Fits: Pittsburgh Steelers: If Jaylen Warren is tendered and Najee Harris walks (per PFF), Chubb could pair with Warren in a bruising backfield. Mike Tomlin’s admiration for Chubb (noted by PFF) aligns with their run-first identity. Dallas Cowboys: Seeking a downhill runner for Dak Prescott (per PFN), Chubb’s name value and 4.9 career YPC fit Jerry Jones’ splashy style. Cap space (~$20M post-Prescott extension) allows a prove-it deal. Analysis: Chubb’s 2024 was a shadow of his prime, but another offseason could restore his explosiveness. He’s a high-risk, high-reward RB2 for teams betting on a rebound. Wide Receiver: Stefon Diggs 2024 Stats (Projected): 45 catches, 600 yards, 5 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-ACL tear in Week 8 with Houston). Diggs started 2024 as Buffalo’s WR2 before a trade to Houston, where he was solid but not dominant (7.4 points/game per PlayerProfiler) until his season-ending injury. His 16.3 YPC career average persists. With Tee Higgins tagged and Amari Cooper/Keenan Allen still available, Diggs edges out due to his WR1 pedigree, despite his age (31) and injury. Potential Fits: New York Jets: Needing a WR2 behind Garrett Wilson (per PFN), Diggs could thrive with Justin Fields as the new QB. His route-running fits their intermediate passing game, and cap space (~$25M) works. Kansas City Chiefs: With DeAndre Hopkins gone, Diggs complements Xavier Worthy’s speed with savvy underneath work. Mahomes elevates his ceiling, and KC has ~$30M in cap flexibility. Houston Texans: A return to Houston also makes sense. Despite the club trading for Christian Kirk and signing other wideouts, the Texans are missing a stand-out WR2. Therefore, a reunion makes sense on both sides. Analysis: Diggs’ ACL recovery timeline (likely ready by camp) and declining WR1 status make him a WR2/3 in fantasy, but his fit with elite QBs could revive his 1,000-yard potential. Tight End: Evan Engram 2024 Stats (Projected): 40 catches, 450 yards, 3 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-shoulder surgery in late 2024). Engram missed half of 2024 with a torn labrum, leading to his Jaguars release to avoid a $19.5M cap hit. His 2023 peak (114 catches, 963 yards) shows his upside as a receiving TE. With Juwan Johnson and Mike Gesicki already signed, Engram’s the top TE left. His injury and age (31 by September) lower his stock, but his YAC ability (per The Athletic) stands out in a thin class. Potential Fits: Indianapolis Colts: With Mo Alie-Cox expiring (per PFF), Engram aids Anthony Richardson’s growth as a safety blanket. His 71.3 PFF receiving grade in 2024 fits Shane Steichen’s TE-friendly scheme (~$35M cap space). Denver Broncos: Sean Payton, who coached Engram’s Saints teammate Juwan Johnson, could target him for the starting role. Engram’s speed stretches defenses, and Denver has $43M in cap room (per ESPN). Analysis: Engram’s not a TE1 lock post-injury. But his 9.0-yard average depth of target (per PFF) makes him a mid-tier fantasy TE with upside in pass-heavy systems. A short-term deal is likely. Additional Notes Market Context: Day 1 saw 59 of the top 150 free agents sign (per The Athletic), leaving slim pickings at offensive skill positions. Rodgers, Chubb, Diggs, and Engram stand out as the best remaining at their spots based on X sentiment and web rankings. Stats Caveats: 2024 projections are based on partial data (e.g., Chubb’s 7 games, Diggs’ 8 games) and historical norms, as full-season stats aren’t finalized in sources. Fits Rationale: Teams were chosen based on cap space (per Spotrac/ESPN), QB/coaching stability, and scheme fit (e.g., PFF’s scheme notes), assuming 2024 roster gaps persist.
