2025 Fantasy Outlook

May 1, 2025
Elam had his fifth-year option declined by the Cowboys on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dallas would have had to pay Elam, a depth corner with the Bills last year, about $12.7 million in 2026 if it had picked up the option, per Fowler. Elam was a first-round pick of the Bills in 2022, but he struggled to secure a starting role before being traded to the Cowboys in March. He'll now try to compete for a role in the last year of his rookie contract.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Elam was a first round pick last year, but didn't exactly 'burst onto the scene' as a rookie. He played in 13 games (6 starts) and managed to snag two interceptions and 41 tackles. He's looking for more in his second year and should have lots of time to prove himself.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gaining trade interest
CBBuffalo Bills
October 28, 2023
Elam, who was a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, has garnered trade interest ahead of the Oct. 31 deadline, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Elam's absence in Thursday's contest marked the fifth time he has been a healthy scratch in eight games this season, as he took a back seat to Josh Norman, who joined the Bills' practice squad last week. Elam didn't play in the first four games of the season but got his first opportunity in Week 5 with Christian Benford ruled out for that game with a shoulder injury. Elam actually registered a career-high 11 tackles in that contest, though a large part of that production was due to him being beaten out by the opposing wide receiver on multiple occasions. He hasn't had the production the Bills were hoping for when they took him in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but perhaps a change in scenery would help him turn things around.
