Kansas City undrafted running back Carson Steele gets majority of first team snaps on offense against the Detoit Lions in week 2 of the preseason.
Undrafted rookie running back Carson Steele logged 11 out of 18 snaps on the team’s first two series with the first team offense on Saturday against the Detroit Lions. The UCLA product came into camp battling for a roster spot behind Isaiah Pacheco, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and Deneric Prince but Steele has thrown his name into the mix to be the primary backup behind Pacheco.
In 2022, then undrafted rookie running back Isiah Pacheco, had a strong camp and Andy Reid rewarded him with playing 10 out of 25 snaps with starters in week 2 of the preseason. This parallel isn’t to suggest that Pacheco is in danger of losing his job but it does show that Steele has made an impression and is getting his shot in the same way Pacheco did in 2022.
If Carson Steele is available in your dynasty league he is a priority add even if he settles in at RB3 on the depth chart. He’s clearly gained trust with the coaching staff and has a path to snaps in one of the league’s best offenses.
