Ezekiel Elliott signs with Dallas

Ezekiel Elliott RB DAL
By: Apr 29: 10:04 AM EST

The Cowboys have signed running back Ezekiel Elliott to a one-year deal.

Dynasty Analysis

Elliott spent his first seven seasons with the Cowboys before a rather unimpressive 2023 campaign with New England. He'll likely compete with Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn and Royce Freeman to form some kind of committee that could be effective in reality but a mess in fantasy. Elliott simply isn't the same player he once was and while this move makes him roster-worthy again, expectations should be realistic.

Tank Dell has minor gunshot wound

Tank Dell WR HOU
By: Apr 28: 9:43 PM EST

Texans wide receiver Tank Dell was treated and released with a minor gunshot wound Sunday.

Dynasty Analysis

Dynasty managers likely lost their minds when they saw headlines today that said, "Tank Dell has been shot." In the end, Dell was one of up to ten people who were wounded after gunshots were fired at a social gathering. It's a scary situation but one that looks to be free of anything worse. Dell is on his way back from a nasty leg injury from last year and remains a high upside player - this certainly won't change that.

Michael Pratt drafted by Green Bay

Michael Pratt QB GB
By: Apr 28: 7:50 PM EST

The Green Bay Packers drafted Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt.

Dynasty Analysis

Pratt was a hot name going into the draft but fell all the way down to final round before being taken by the Packers. WIth Jordan Love established as the starter, Pratt could challenge for the backup spot eventually. However, the drop in the 2024 NFL Draft leaves him as a little more than a late round flier or player to watch this Spring and Summer.

Frank Gore Jr signs with Buffalo

Frank Gore Jr. RB BUF
By: Apr 28: 7:49 PM EST

The Buffalo Bills have signed UDFA running back Frank Gore Jr.

Dynasty Analysis

Gore fell out of the 2024 NFL Draft but landed on his feet with the Buffalo Bills quickly after. He'll likely compete with Ty Johnson, Darrynton Evans and a few other runners for a spot behind James Cook and presumptive RB2 Ray Davis. Still, the draft capitlal just isn't there to keep him as anything more than a watch list candidate at the moment.

Jaheim Bell drafted by New England

Jaheim Bell TE NE
By: Apr 28: 7:48 PM EST

The New England Patriots drafted Florida State tight end Jaheim Bell in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Dynasty Analysis

Bell was drafted by the Patriots all the way down in the seventh round. He was likely knocked by most scouts because of his size, so he'll need to prove he has the physicality to make it. Unfortunately, the odds are long for Bell as a late round pick so he'll need to make a splash quickly. Keep an eye on him this off-season.

Kendall Milton signs with the Eagles

Kendall Milton RB PHI
By: Apr 28: 7:47 PM EST

The Philadelphia Eagles signed UDFA running back Kendall Milton.

Dynasty Analysis

Despite being productve at Georgia, Milton fell all the way out fo the draft, likely because of a perceived lack of versatility. He'll now look to make the Eagles roster as an UDFA. It's a decent landing spot for him as Philadelphia is historically one of the teams that likes to keep a large stable of runners. Still, Milton is a long shot for dynasty value moving forward and should simply be kept track of for now.

Dillon Johnson signs with Tennessee

Dillon Johnson RB TEN
By: Apr 28: 7:46 PM EST

The Tennessee Titans signed undrafted Washington running back Dillon Johnson.

Dynasty Analysis

The questions regarding Johnson's speed and athletic profile proved to be too significant for him to be drafted. Instead, he signed a free agent deal with the Tennessee Titans and will attempt the make the roster as a UDFA. Johnson likely chose a solid spot to attempt just that as the Titans aren't exactly stacked at running back. Still, the fact he dropped all the way out of the draft leaves him as a player to simply keep on watch lists.

Daijun Edwards signs with Pittsburgh

Daijun Edwards RB PIT
By: Apr 28: 7:46 PM EST

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed undrafted Georgia running back Daijun Edwards.

Dynasty Analysis

Edwards fell all the way out of the NFL Draft and had to settle for an undrafted free agent contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's not a bad landing spot in the end as Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren look like a decent but far from dominant duo at the moment. Edwards will have a chance to make the roster but could be headed for the practice squad in the end. He's simply a player to keep an eye on instead of a rookie draft priority at the moment.

Brenden Rice drafted by the Chargers

Brenden Rice WR LAC
By: Apr 28: 7:45 PM EST

The Los Angeles Chargers drafted USC wide receiver Brenden Rice in the 7th round of the 2024 NFL Draft

Dynasty Analysis

Rice dropped all the way down to the seventh round before being taken by the Los Angeles Chargers. It was a tough turn of events as he'll have an uphill climb for a roster spot. He's easy to root for as the son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice but it's hard to see him making an impact in the NFL any time soon. Rice is a watch list candidate or late round dart throw in rookie drafts at the moment.

Isaiah Davis drafted by the Jets

Isaiah Davis RB NYJ
By: Apr 28: 7:44 PM EST

The New York Jets drafted running back Isaiah Davis in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Dynasty Analysis

Davis has an uphill climb to a roster spot with the New York Jets after being taken in the fifth round. The Jets already have Breece Hall as their starter and also took Braelon Allen to shore up their backfield. Still, he has a chance and could surprise as a late-round small school prospect. While he may need to beat out Allen to earn a spot on the team, Davis should still be kept on watch lists for the time being.
