Here's my listing of the top 30 free agents (12-team, standard-scoring leagues) heading into Week 8 — a countdown that typically values long-term viability over one week of superb stats.
Obviously, free-agent quarterbacks like Mike Glennon, Terrelle Pryor, Geno Smith, Josh Freeman and Carson Palmer are the likeliest candidates for most points from Sunday to Sunday.
But I would also place an equal or higher priority on landing possible dynamos at receiver, running back and tight end ... ahead of a quarterback who may only draw one start all season (a star QB's bye week).
