Rest-of-Season Projections
Has offseason charges dropped
Elam's drug charges stemming from a February arrest were dropped Monday, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Elam was pulled over for reckless driving before police booked him on charges of marijuana possession, possession with intent to sell or deliver and possession of a controlled substance. However, all those charges were dropped Monday, clearing Elam of any wrongdoing. While that obviously comes as good news for the 25-year-old, it also follows Elam having charges of grand theft and battery stemming from a May incident that was dropped last week. With no pending legal situations any longer, Elam seemingly now has a better chance of signing with a team, but the free agent's lack of on-field production may not even make him worth the risk.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2015
2014
2013
Elam, a 2013 first-round draft pick, took a big step back in 2014 following a respectable rookie season. He looked lost against both the run and pass, missing numerous assignments and tackles in a disastrous campaign. The Ravens will give him one more chance to prove that he deserves a starting job, but Elam's competition, fellow Florida Gator Will Hill, is far from a pushover. Elam will likely have to settle for a backup role at both safety spots.
