Michael Gallup signs with Las Vegas

Michael Gallup WR LV
By: Apr 30: 12:21 AM EST

The Raiders have signed free agent wide receiver Michael Gallup.

Dynasty Analysis

Once a very highly thought of dynasty asset, Gallup has seemingly failed to fully recover from an ACL tear he had two years ago. His 34/418/2 season with Dallas last year failed to impress many and he had to wait until after the draft to get signed. Still, it's a decent landing spot and he'll attempt to carve out a role behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers. Gallups is far off the dynasty map and can stay on waiver wires, however.

Kyle Pitts gets fifth year

Kyle Pitts TE ATL
By: Apr 29: 6:17 PM EST

The Atlanta Falcons have exercised the fifth-year option on the contract of tight end Kyle Pitts.

Dynasty Analysis

Pitts was great in his rookie season but his play has really fallen off the past two seasons. Atlanta obviously believes their sub-par quarterback play has had a lot to do with that as the likes of Marcus Mariota and Desmond Ridder have held the entire offense back. Pitts will look to bounce back with Kirk Cousins (and maybe even Michael Penix eventually). If you're still a big-time believer in his ability, this off-season will represent what could be the last "buy low" opportunity for him in dynasty leagues.

Travis Kelce gets extension

Travis Kelce TE KC
By: Apr 29: 3:55 PM EST

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a two-year contract extension with tight end Travis Kelce.

Dynasty Analysis

The contract will keep Kelce in Kansas City through the 2027 season, pays him $17 million guaranteed and all but ensures he'll play his entire career in with the Chiefs. This should put to rest the idea he's going to retire any time soon and it looks like Kelce will remain a solid TE1 option for the foreseeable future. While his play took a small step back last season (he failed to reach 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in eight years), it was clear in the playoffs the Chiefs were just saving him for the postseason. If this is a theme, Kelce may not be the elite option we've come to expect as he ages but he's still a solid TE1 each and every week and a solid target for a contending dynasty team now that we know he has no plans to retire any time soon.

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.
