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.

RANKS
Picks up 27 yards in Week 18
Steele rushed the ball eight times for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-0 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on two targets for two yards.
ANALYSIS
The Chiefs sat Isiah Pacheco (coach's decision) while Samaje Perine drew only two touches, leaving most of the work out of the backfield to Steele. That didn't amount to much with all of Kansas City's top skill-position players sitting, as the team netted only 98 yards on offense while running just 33 plays. Steele has played primarily on special teams since Week 4, and that will almost certainly be his role throughout the team's postseason run.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May see expanded Week 18 role
Steele could be in line for a notable increase in opportunity during a Week 18 matchup against the Broncos after Isiah Pacheco suffered a rib injury of unknown severity in Wednesday's 29-10 win over the Steelers, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie did well with 17 carries against the Falcons way back in Week 3, recording 72 rushing yards. However, he's topped out at six rush attempts since that point in terms of a single-game high, but Steele could see a double-digit workload again in Week 18. Pacheco is likely to sit out the meaningless regular-season finale, and head coach Andy Reid may also tread somewhat carefully with veterans Kareem Hunt and Samaje Perine ahead of the postseason.
