Carson Steele - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Two touches versus Bills 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.

Impact 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 Isaiah 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.

Minimal impact in Week 10 Steele tallied two carries for three yards during Sunday's 16-14 victory against the Broncos.

Impact 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.

Usage stays low in Week 9 Steele rushed three times for nine yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime win versus the Buccaneers.

Impact 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.

Minimally involved versus Raiders Steele accrued two rushes for six yards and hauled in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Raiders.

Impact Steele did record more touches than Samje Perine (two) in the contest, but he also played just eight offensive snaps to Perine's 22 and Kareem Hunt's 42. Thus, it's unlikely Steele will find himself in a fantasy-relevant spot in the near future, especially with the return of Isaiah Pacheco potentially on the horizon, given Pacheco's initial 6-to-8-week timetable when he went down in mid-September.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Totals six totes versus Niners Steele totaled six carries for 17 yards during Sunday's 28-18 win versus San Francisco.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal run against Saints Steele had five rushes for 12 yards during Monday's 26-13 win against the Saints.

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Loses grip on role Steele rushed the ball twice for six yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers. He added one reception on three targets for zero yards.

Impact Steele started the game but lost a fumble on the first drive and was ineffective across the team's first three possessions. Kareem Hunt took over as the team's lead back while Steele did not record a touch after the first quarter, though he was targeted once shortly after halftime. Hunt did well in the role, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he has permanently moved past Steele on the depth chart.

Racks up 17 carries in Week 3 win Steele rushed 17 times for 72 yards while catching one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Falcons.

Impact In the first game since Isiah Pacheco (fibula) suffered an injury that's expected to keep him sidelined for six-to-eight weeks, Steele got 19 combined carries and targets compared to 10 for Samaje Perine, who finished with 40 scrimmage yards. Steele had two carries from inside the five-yard line on the first drive of the third quarter but failed to convert on either one as the Chiefs settled for a field goal to take a 16-14 lead. Kansas City could add reinforcements to the backfield, as Kareem Hunt's an option to be elevated from the practice squad as soon as Week 4 against the Chargers and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) is eligible to come off the reserve/non-football illness list the following week. As things stand, Steele appears in line to handle the bulk of the backfield work again in Week 4.

Set for first crack at No. 1 role Steele appears set to get the first chance at the No. 1 role in Kansas City's backfield in Week 3 versus the Falcons, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Impact Steele will look to step up in the absence of Isiah Pacheco (fibula/ankle) after Pacheco was diagnosed with a fractured fibula Monday. Steele turned seven carries into 24 yards in Week 2 versus the Bengals and he's produced 27 yards on nine rushes through two games this season. Head coach Andy Reid said Monday that Steele will "have to step it up there and in that role" and that "this will be a good challenge for him." The 21-year-old will not be the team's only option in the backfield as veteran Samaje Perine will likely also see an uptick in usage after playing nine of the team's 65 offensive snaps in Week 2, though Perine's value is more evident in the passing game.

Larger workload could await Steele carried seven times for 24 yards while playing 14 of the Chiefs' 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

Impact Steele is now averaging just 3.0 yards through his first nine NFL carries, but the undrafted rookie out of UCLA could nonetheless be headed for an expanded profile in the Kansas City offense in the weeks to come with lead back Isiah Pacheco (fibula/ankle) expected to land on injured reserve, according to Charles Goldman of AToZSports.com. Along with Steele, Samaje Perine -- who played nine of 65 snaps in Week 2 -- should take on extra work, though the Chiefs may prefer to deploy Perine as more of a change-of-pace or passing-down back. Kansas City will almost certainly add another running back or two to the 53-man roster before Sunday's game in Atlanta to help replace Pacheco, making it difficult to project what exactly Steele's role might look like.
