2023 Fantasy Outlook
Elliott broke out with a career-high 96 tackles during his one-year stint in Detroit, and the Dolphins will now count on him to fill a starting void at safety across from Jevon Holland. He could be primed to take another step forward under new DC Vic Fangio. Read Past Outlooks

Elliott signed a two-year contract with the Steelers on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Elliot will join his fourth different team in four years after stops in Baltimore, Detroit and Miami. The 26-year-old started 15 games for the Dolphins last season, recording 82 tackles (53 solo) and seven passes defended, including an interception. Although a starting job won't be certain for the veteran safety, he should at least bolster the depth in the Steelers' secondary in 2024.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
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.
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.
