2018 Free-Agent Class Proves to be Less Than Stellar

The 2018 free-agent class takes major hits seemingly on a daily basis.

On Tuesday, the Arizona Cardinals had to put Jordan Pugh, their $9 million guard, on injured reserve. The Buffalo Bills became the second team to cut wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, whom the New York Jets paid $4.5 million a year. Last week the New York Giants cut guard Patrick Omameh, who signed a three-year, $15 million contract.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers paid $3.25 million a year for kicker Chandler Catanzaro. He was cut this week. Cody Parkey of the Chicago Bears got $3.75 million a year and he’s struggling.

Safe to say, this wasn’t a good free-agent class. My fear is that is might be the norm. One of the things I track is how many draft choices from the draft class that turns into free agency the next season are on the active roster.

Fantasy Fact or Fiction – Expect Cam Newton to Bounce Back

Below are several fantasy players whose production stuck out in Week 10 in either a positive or negative manner. Let’s examine if that trend will keep up or if it was just a blip on the radar.

Nick Chubb

Week 9 Stat Line: 20 Rushes For 176 Yards And 1 Touchdown, 3 Receptions For 33 Yards And 1 Touchdown

Fact or Fiction? Fact

Of course, much of this production came on one very long run, but Chubb is an excellent running back prospect. While he isn’t an accomplished receiver, with his athletic abilities, Chubb should quickly improve in this area. He obviously has long speed, but also is physical and excellent after contact. But Chubb is a two-down back and will be fed a ton if Cleveland can keep their remaining games close. That makes Chubb a bit game script dependent, which is always worrisome, but this is a guy you shouldn’t have concerns about inserting him in your lineup from this point on. The Browns are on bye in Week 11, but return to a sweet matchup against Cincinnati.
