The Las Vegas Raiders and WR Michael Gallup have agreed on a 1 year, $3 million deal.
Michael Gallup was once regarded as a top receiver in the NFL. In 2019 he posted 113 targets and 1107 yards in the Dallas Cowboys offense. Gallup recorded similar numbers in 2020 and then an ACL injury derailed what was once a promising career. Gallup hasn’t had a season with over 445 yards receiving since 2020. Gallup and the Las Vegas Raiders have agreed on a free agent deal that could pay Gallup up to $3 million in 2024.
Gallup joins a WR room that includes Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers as the main targets. 2nd year wideout Tre Tucker looks to improve on a rookie season which saw Gallup-level targets in 3 of the final 4 games of 2023. Gallup and Tucker will compete for the WR3 looks.
Were Gallup a few years younger, or not joining an offense with 1st round pick Brock Bowers and 2nd year TE Michael Mayer, he might be considered a post-hype target in fantasy. With the number of mouths to feed in the Raiders offense, Gallup checks in as a possible late-round sleeper/waiver add.

Michael Gallup has been released from the Dallas Cowboys
Michael Gallup will be a free agent for the first time in his career after six seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Gallup has a strong stretch from 2019-2020 where he accumulated nearly 2000 receiving yards. However, he has failed to top 500 receiving yards for three straight seasons. Gallup will now look for a new home in 2024 with multiple teams already showing interest.
Gallup is still a strong vertical target, but he’s not going to move the fantasy needle no matter where he lands. He hasn’t finished higher that WR66 in fantasy football since 2020. Nonetheless, he is likely going to be a contributor somewhere in 2024 which will give him deep league flex appeal. Gallup should be rostered in all deeper dynasty leagues, but expectations should be tempered.
