2025 Fantasy Outlook
A first-round pick of the Bills in 2022, Elam never established himself as a reliable starter in the Buffalo secondary, prompting a trade to Dallas in March. The Florida product has battled injuries in his career, and his skills and instincts haven't always kept up with the impressive speed and athleticism he showed in college. Nonetheless, Elam seems on track to start for the Cowboys in Week 1 as the team waits for Trevon Diggs and 2025 third-round pick Shavon Revel to get healthy. Read Past Outlooks
Headed to Tennessee
Elam signed with the Titans on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 first-round pick from Florida was cut by the Cowboys on Nov. 22 but has already found a new home in Tennessee. Elam appeared in 10 games for the Cowboys before being cut, recording 29 total tackles and one pass defended. However, he struggled in coverage, allowing an 105.0 passer rating when targeted and 14.9 yards per target. Now in Tennessee, Elam will likely operate as one of the team's top boundary corners for the remainder of the season.

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
Could find new home quickly
Elam visited the Jets on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Elam was waived by the Cowboys on Saturday after his role diminished due to the debut of Shavon Revel. While he's been charged with allowing three touchdowns this season, Elam has allowed a catch rate of only 61.5 percent when targeted. The Jets don't have an obvious need at corner, but they are likely to continue to churn their roster as part of their current rebuild.
