• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Two touches versus Bills

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Steele recorded one rush for two yards and gathered in his only target for five yards during Sunday's 30-21 loss versus the Bills. Steele saw the field on just eight offensive plays versus the Bills, so his two touches during the contest shouldn't come as a surprise. The undrafted rookie's fantasy future looks even bleaker when factoring in the anticipated return of Isiah Pacheco (ankle) from injured reserve in Week 12. If everything goes as expected, Steele and Samaje Perine will likely be duking it out for spare reps behind Pacheco and Kareem Hunt going forward.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Minimal impact in Week 10

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Steele tallied two carries for three yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory against the Broncos. Steele logged only 13 offensive snaps in the contest, still trailing Kareem Hunt (44) by a sizable margin and sitting three behind Samaje Perine as well. The rookie back has carried the ball a combined seven times over the last three weeks. With Isiah Pacheco's (lower leg) return from injured reserve on the horizon, there's little to like about Steele's fantasy prospects moving forward.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Usage stays low in Week 9

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Steele rushed three times for nine yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers. Steele recorded less than a 20 percent snap share for the fifth straight game, as he has had little impact since his impressive Week 3 showing versus the Falcons. RBs Kareem Hunt and Samaje Perine are both running ahead of Steele. The rookie likely won't play much as long as the veterans are healthy.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Totals six totes versus Niners

  10/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Steele totaled six carries for 17 yards during Sunday's 28-18 win versus San Francisco. Steele finished the day second on the Chiefs in carries behind Kareem Hunt, but that amounted to just six compared to Hunt's 22; Steele also played fewer offensive snaps (15) than Samaje Perine (16). Hunt has clearly settled back into a workhorse role for KC, leaving Steele and Perine to duke it out for the leftover touches. Clyde Edwards-Helaire was also activated from injured reserve last week before being deemed a healthy inactive Sunday, but CEH could be part of the mix in future weeks as well.

• Chiefs' Carson Steele: Minimal run against Saints

  10/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Steele had five rushes for 12 yards during Monday's 26-13 win against the Saints. Steele finished the day a distant second in backfield carries, logging just five to Kareem Hunt's 27. Samaje Perine also logged more snaps but finished with just one touch (a catch for 24 yards on two targets). It appears Hunt is primed to recapture the lead-back role for Kansas City, and the impending return of Clyde Edwards-Helaire could shift Steele further out of the spotlight.
