2022 Fantasy Outlook
Gallup enters his fifth NFL season with both role security and financial security, having signed a
five-year, $62.5 million contract shortly before the Cowboys dealt Amari Cooper to Cleveland.
The problem, at least short term, is Gallup's rehab from the ACL tear he suffered Jan. 2
and had surgery on Feb. 10. While the first few months of Gallup's rehab reportedly went well,
team owner Jerry Jones has acknowledged multiple times that the wideout is unlikely to be ready for Week
1. Once available, Gallup should be the Cowboys' No. 2 receiver, behind only 2020 first-round
pick CeeDee Lamb. While he doesn't quite have Lamb's pedigree, Gallup was a third-round pick in 2018 and showed his ability in 2019 with 1,107 yards in 14 games. He then fell off in 2020 along with the rest of the Dallas offense with QB Dak Prescott sidelined, and in 2021 he
averaged only 49.4 yards in his nine appearances. Given their offseason moves, the Cowboys
must be optimistic that Gallup will not only recover from the ACL tear but also recapture his
2019 form as he enters what should be his prime at age 26. He's expected to return early in the season, though probably not for Week 1. Read Past Outlooks

Restructures contract with Cowboys
Gallup (knee/ankle) agreed to a restructured contract Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Recovering from offseason knee and ankle clean-up procedures, Gallup's restructure creates roughly $7 million in cap space for the Cowboys. Gallup had a disappointing 2022, catching just 39 passes for 424 yards and four touchdowns and averaging a career-low 10.9 yards per catch after tearing his ACL the previous year.

Reviewing the 20 most-drafted players on a 21-team portfolio, the author is somewhat alarmed to have drafted J.K. Dobbins on 13 of them.

Daniel Jones and Darren Waller should both benefit from Tuesday's developments, while the Raiders seem to be rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
Gallup reprised his role as the team’s field-stretcher in 2020, with 14.3 YPC on 105 targets. His efficiency dropped, however, from 9.5 YPT in 2019 to 8.0 last year, but that’s not especially surprising considering the QBs with whom he played once Dak Prescott went down in Week 5. At 6-1, 198, and with average (4.52) timed speed, Gallup’s physical attributes don’t jump out, but he’s athletic, explosive and probably faster than his Combine time. Gallup has struggled with drops at times — six last year after 10 in 2019 — and he’s competing for targets with two high-pedigree options in Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb. Still, if Dak Prescott returns to full health, something he’s on pace to do, the Cowboys' passing game can feed all three, and Gallup should benefit from frequent single coverage, especially on deep routes.
