2022 Fantasy Outlook
Detroit has been looking for a second safety to operate next to Tracy Walker, but neither Will Harris nor Duron Harmon did much with their opportunities in the starting role over the past couple of years. Now, Elliott will get a shot to make a name for himself on a one-year contract. However, Detroit also spent a second-round draft pick on another safety in rookie Kerby Joseph, who figures to be a part of the rotation at safety at a minimum. This factor could limit Elliott's playing time, and it's possible that Joseph takes over the starting role outright. Read Past Outlooks

The Dolphins agreed to terms with Elliott on a one-year contract Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Elliott spent last season with the Lions, starting 13 games and playing 91 percent of the snaps while recording 96 tackles and one interception. In Miami, Elliott could step into a starting role at safety alongside Jevon Holland if Brandon Jones (knee) isn't able to make a full recovery from the ACL tear he suffered in late October.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries derailed Elliott's first two seasons in Baltimore but he got his shot in 2020 after Earl Thomas' release and the former Texas Longhorn rewarded the Ravens for their patience. Elliott racked up 80 tackles, 2.5 sacks, four passes defensed and forced a pair of fumbles. He was also effective in coverage, allowing just 16 completions on 31 attempts against him. With a full season under his belt, Elliott is primed to take another step forward in his development as a key cog in the Baltimore secondary.
