Michael Gallup's absence from the Washington Commanders' OTAs on June 4, 2025, is noteworthy given his recent return from retirement. Gallup, who last played in 2023, is projected for a limited role with 3.2 receptions, 37.1 receiving yards, and 0.3 touchdowns per game in 2025.
His role in Washington's offense is expected to be as a depth receiver, competing for a spot behind Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson. With a projected 30-40 catches and 350-500 yards for the season, Gallup is a potential late-round fantasy pick or waiver wire addition, particularly in PPR leagues.
Given the Commanders' youth movement and rookie QB Jayden Daniels' presence, Gallup's veteran experience could be valuable, though his fantasy impact remains limited. Monitor his participation in future practices for any changes in his projected role or health status.
