Here's my listing of fantasy football's top 30 free agents, heading into Week 8 and citing only 12-team, standard- scoring leagues -- a countdown that values long-term viability over one week of superb stats.

Obviously, free-agent quarterbacks like Blake Bortles, Ryan Tannehill, Carson Palmer, Mike Glennon and even Kyle Orton are the likeliest candidates for most points from Sunday to Sunday.
