. . . Emmanuel Ogbah. 6. player. 124

This works if Emmanuel Ogbah can get healthy and stay healthy, and it’s an idea that will work for a couple of reasons. He’s on the right side of 30, at 26 years young, and he has a bunch of productive seasons left.

People like young free agents who can play, but there are two sides to every coin.

Ogbah is one of the game’s best when he’s on the field, but that’s where things get cloudy. He’s often missing in action. No team is going to want to unload a boatload of cash for a guy who won’t be available.

Ogbah hasn’t played an entire season since his rookie campaign in 2016, where he was the last man taken in that year’s draft. He played in and started all 16 games for the Cleveland Browns, but he missed eight games over the next two seasons and he’s been on both the Browns and the Kansas City Chiefs IR lists (injured reserve) over the course of the past three seasons.

Write his name down, but place an asterisk beside it.
