Carson Beck Fantasy Stats

The Pittsburgh Steelers could be targeting Miami quarterback Carson Beck in this week's NFL Draft, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. Beck took a pre-draft visit with the Steelers. The same can be said for Penn State's Drew Allar, but not Alabama's Ty Simpson. DeFabo notes that while Simpson has been heavily linked to the Steelers by the media, the team may be dissuaded by his limited track record in college. That's where Beck makes more sense, as he was a three-year starter in the NCAA and has significant experience playing in big games. DeFabo speculates that Beck checks every box for the Steelers, while the other two do not. Pittsburgh doesn't want to reach for Beck, but it sounds like he'll absolutely be an option for them if he's still available in the middle rounds. The Steelers' draft plans likely don't hinge too much on the status of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is a candidate to re-sign but currently remains a free agent.

Miami quarterback Carson Beck was once viewed as a future top signal-caller prospect for the NFL Draft, but his final season at Georgia put a damper on his outlook. After throwing for 3,941 yards, 24 touchdowns, and just six interceptions in 2023, Beck threw double the interceptions in 2024, and his Bulldogs career ended after suffering an elbow injury in the SEC Championship Game. Now, in Miami, the sixth-year senior has the Canes in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game behind 3,581 passing yards, 31 total touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The 23-year-old has prototypical NFL size at 6'4", 225 pounds, and we've seen the stock of quarterbacks rise dramatically in the past following great postseason runs. Although he's highly unlikely to be a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, he may be playing himself into the third round after coming into the season as a Day 3 prospect. He's an interesting dynasty quarterback stash option in Superflex leagues.
