Who needs a fullback?

Well, if you're an NFL team that still wants one, this is the year to be looking. The free agent market has two relative superstars at the FB position from the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills.

Patrick Ricard is available.

So too is Reggie Gilliam.

Ricard is as good as they come, a fascinating player who measures at 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds and has made six Pro Bowls.

Gilliam is less heralded and not as big, just 6-feet tall and 244 pounds.

Both are capable of doing exactly what their teams have called upon them to do in recent years.

Ricard even has a background of also playing defensive tackle, so that's how versatile he is.

Gilliam has played all six of his NFL seasons for Buffalo, and Josh Allen seems to appreciate him, so maybe he signs back with the Bills.

But there will likely be at least a few other suitors for both of these guys. Some offenses still appreciate these types of players, with the Chargers coming to mind.

They won't grab headlines, but they help win games, so don't forget about Ricard and Gilliam.
