2024 Fantasy Outlook

Steele wasn't selected in April's NFL Draft but has a good shot of making Kansas City's roster after turning heads in training camp. The 6-foot-1, 225-pounder brings multiple useful skills to the table: he was listed as a fullback on KC's initial depth chart and is certainly capable of serving as a lead blocker in two-back sets, but he is also a powerful runner with the ball in his hands, is solid in pass-protection and can contribute on special teams. If he does in fact make the cut, Steele could add some new wrinkles to an offense that didn't roster a fullback last season while garnering occasional carries behind Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

November 26, 2024

Steele accrued one carry for four yards and reeled in one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-27 win versus the Panthers.

ANALYSIS
Steele totaled just 11 snaps in Sunday's contest, though that marks a very minor uptick from the eight he saw a week ago. He has two touches to his name in each of the last two weeks, and his work figures to trail off even more with Isiah Pacheco's (ankle) return from injured reserve looming. Steele can safely be left on the waiver wire in the majority of fantasy formats.
