On the latest Razzball Fantasy Football podcast episode, Gladys Louise Tyler joins the show to discuss the offensive players who will be free agents in the AFC East in 2023. The below article is a high-level overview that will show how much cap space every team has going into the offseason, the percentage of snaps, and the fantasy points each key free agent had in 2022. During the podcast, we touch on the potential impact these free agents could have on the team if they were to leave in free agency this offseason. You can view the entire episode on the Razzball Fantasy YouTube channel or wherever you get your podcasts.
Team: Miami Dolphins
2023 Cap Space: $15.5 million over
Notable Free Agents:
| Player | Position | 2023 Snaps | Age | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brandon Shell | RT | 72.1% | 31 | |
| Trent Sherfield | WR | 57.7% | 27 | 83.7 |
| Raheem Mostert | RB | 52.2% | 31 | 170.4 |
| Greg Little | LT | 50.0% | 26 | |
| Jeff Wilson | RB | 48.7% | 28 | 162.5 |
| Mike Gesicki | TE | 45.2% | 28 | 98.2 |
| River Cracraft | WR | 15.0% | 29 | 31.2 |
| Teddy Bridgewater | QB | 13.3% | 31 | 42 |
| Myles Gaskin | RB | 3.7% | 26 | 9.4 |
| Kendall Lamm | LT | 3.0% | 31 | |
| Geron Christian | LT | 1.0% | 27 | |
| Eric Fisher | LT | 0.00% | 32 | |

| Michael Deiter | C | 0.00% | 27 |
- The Dolphins will have a lot of decisions to make this off-season as they currently sit $15 million dollars over the cap. There is some buzz that the Dolphins will look to explore the QB landscape as Tua Tagovailoa’s health continues to be an ongoing issue. However, their cap situation will most likely force them to push that endeavor off until 2024.
- One of the biggest questions that could impact fantasy football is who will emerge as the RB1 in Miami. Head Coach Mike McDaniel has already shown flashes of brilliance as a play-caller, and whoever gets the nod to be the top option for the Dolphins could be fantasy star in 2023.
Team: Buffalo Bills
2023 Cap Space: $20.2 million over
Notable Free Agents:
| Player | Position | 2023 Snaps | Age | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rodger Saffold | LG | 98.1% | 35 | |
| Devin Singletary | RB | 65.3% | 26 | 183.9 |
| David Quessenberry | RG | 36.7% | 33 | |
| Greg Van Roten | RG | 32.7% | 33 | |
| Bobby Hart | RT | 11.5% | 29 | |
| Jamison Crowder | WR | 9.6% | 30 | 12 |
| Jake Kumerow | WR | 8.5% | 31 | 10.4 |
| Tommy Sweeney | TE | 6.3% | 28 | 1.7 |
| Cole Beasley | WR | 2.7% | 34 | 9.5 |
| Case Keenum | QB | 2.2% | 35 | 0.3 |
| Ike Boettger | RG | 0.6% | 29 | |
| Taiwan Jones | RB | 0.00% | 35 |
- The Bills are in rough shape when it comes to the cap, as they currently are $20 million over heading into the off-season. This could limit the Bills’ ability to retool their skill position group. That most likely means James Cook, Gabriel Davis, and Isaiah McKenzie could find themselves back on the fantasy radar next season.
Team: New England Patriots
2023 Cap Space: $30.3 million under
Notable Free Agents:
| Player | Position | 2023 Snaps | Age | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jakobi Meyers | WR | 65.6% | 27 | 182.2 |
| Nelson Agholor | WR | 45.2% | 30 | 79.2 |
| Isaiah Wynn | RT | 40.3% | 28 | |
| James Ferentz | LG | 25.6% | 34 | |
| Damien Harris | RB | 22.6% | 26 | 91 |
| Marcus Cannon | RT | 19.8% | 35 |
- The Patriots are in pretty group shape as they currently have $30 million in cap space and Mac Jones on his rookie deal. Key contributors Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor, and Damien Harris could be on the move. These potential departures, along with their cap space, could lead to them making a splash this off-season, like trading for DeAndre Hopkins and/or Brandin Cooks.
- Finally, if Damien Harris were to walk this year, all we can say is wheels up on Rhamondre Stevenson next season.
Team: New York Jets
2023 Cap Space: $2.6 million over
Notable Free Agents:
| Player | Position | 2023 Snaps | Age | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Connor McGovern | C | 100.0% | 30 | |
| Nate Herbig | RG | 63.4% | 25 | |
| George Fant | LT | 46.5% | 31 | |
| Joe Flacco | QB | 26.5% | 38 | 59.6 |
| Cedric Ogbuehi | LT | 25.8% | 31 | |
| Mike White | QB | 25.6% | 28 | 62.6 |
| Ty Johnson | RB | 15.5% | 26 | 42.8 |
| Dan Feeney | LG | 9.8% | 29 | |
| Laurent Duvernay-Tardif | RG | 6.5% | 32 | |
| Mike Remmers | RT | 5.5% | 34 | |
| Adam Pankey | LG | 0.0% | 29 | |
| Nick Bawden | FB | 0.00% | 27 |
- The Jets enter this off-season right at the cap but will most likely have to create space as they try to acquire one the of top quarterbacks on the market. Currently, they are in the process of courting Aaron Rodgers. Acquiring Rodgers will make it tough to retain some of their key offensive linemen, but hey at least they will have a quarterback.
