Carson Steele Week 4 Outlook - Chiefs at Chargers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 26th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Steele was the clear lead back last week for Kansas City with a 64% snap rate, 77% of the rushing snaps, 55% of the passing down snaps, and 67% of the red zone snaps. He finished with 18 touches and 74 total yards as the RB36 for the week. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks 24th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 22nd in yards after contact per attempt. Steele has a horrible matchup this week on the ground, so he'll need a touchdown to likely pay off this week. The Chargers have allowed the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-lowest missed tackle rate, the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the second-lowest rushing success rate.
