Aaron Shampklin

25-Year-Old Running BackRB
 Free Agent  
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Shampklin went undrafted in 2022 and has yet to appear in a regular-season game in the NFL. He signed with the Steelers ahead of the 2024 campaign but joins a crowded backfield that includes Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson. Shampklin rushed 321 times for 1,888 yards and 20 touchdowns over his final two collegiate seasons at Harvard, but it seems unlikely that he'll have a fantasy-relevant role in Pittsburgh if he makes the 53-man roster.

Back with Steelers' practice squad

October 30, 2024
The Steelers signed Shampklin to their practice squad Wednesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Harvard product was dropped from Pittsburgh's active roster Monday to make room for running back Jonathan Ward. However, the Steelers have decided to bring Shampklin back to the team's practice squad now that he's cleared waivers. Shampklin has appeared in three games for the Steelers this season, logging 17 rushing yards on six carries.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could move up to RB2 in Week 5
RBPittsburgh Steelers
September 29, 2024
Shampklin could play a meaningful role in Week 5 against the Cowboys, as Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports that Cordarrelle Patterson left Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Jaylen Warren sat out against Indianapolis due to a knee injury, and if neither Warren nor Patterson play in Week 5 against Dallas, Shampklin would be next in line to slide into a change-of-pace role behind Najee Harris. Shampklin got his first NFL carry against the Colts and rushed for five yards, while Harris is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry.
