The 8 Best Remaining Offensive NFL Free Agents

Team needs drive the price of free agents, but which available guys are best in terms of our advanced metrics?

NFL free agency is always a time of intrigue.

Teams have the option to rebuild their rosters with proven talents, and teams can take chances on players coming off of less-than-stellar seasons.

Team needs, of course, drive how valuable a given player or position group will be in a given offseason, but some players are just better than others.

Our Net Expected Points (NEP) metric quantifies how valuable a player is on the field. NEP accounts for field position and down-and-distance which lets us differentiate between a 15-yard catch on 3rd-and-10 from the edge of the red zone and a 15-yard catch on 3rd-and-20 that leads to a punt.

Before we get going, keep in mind that Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas were both designated with the franchise tag, and Charles Clay has been designated with a transition tag.

Which remaining free agent skill players offer the most upside based on recent NEP production?
