Carson Steele Fantasy Stats

The Philadelphia Eagles waived running back Carson Steele (shoulder) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday with an injury settlement, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Steele joined the Eagles' active roster in their Week 6 loss to the Carolina Panthers with running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) missing a second straight game, but the 24-year-old only managed to play 12 snaps before suffering a dislocated shoulder. If Steele clears waivers, he will revert to the Eagles' Injured Reserve. In just two games played for the Eagles this year, he has only one reception on two targets for four yards. The former undrafted free agent from UCLA was picked up by the Kansas City Chiefs and had 56 rushing attempts for 183 yards and caught seven of 11 targets for 26 yards as a rookie in 2024. Steele did not play at all in 2025 and remains well off the fantasy football radar in all leagues.

The Philadelphia Eagles waived running back Carson Steele (shoulder) on Tuesday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Steele played in just his second game for the Eagles this year with Saquon Barkley (hamstring) missing a second straight game and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) on Injured Reserve, but he handled just one catch on two targets for four yards before suffering a shoulder injury and never returning in the Week 6 loss to the visiting Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old former undrafted free agent from UCLA did not have a single offensive touch in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Oct. 11. If Steele goes unclaimed on waivers, which is a good possibility because he is also injured, he will revert to Philly's IR. After the Eagles waived both Steele and Jaydon Blue, they added Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad. Mitchell could be brought up to the active roster for Monday night's game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys if Barkley is forced to sit for a third straight game.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Carson Steele (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, Mike Garafolo reported via the X platform. Steele was questionable to return to the Week 6 matchup with a shoulder injury, the team reported earlier in the day. He recorded one reception for four yards but no rushing attempts at the time of his exit. The Eagles have Dameon Pierce and Jaydon Blue available at running back, with Pierce scoring a touchdown in the second quarter.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Carson Steele (shoulder) returned to the Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers on special teams, according to John McMullen of Philadelphia Eagles On SI. Steele was listed as questionable to return following a shoulder injury, according to the team. Steele was seen heading to the locker room holding what appeared to be his right arm/shoulder, according to Vani Hanamirian of SportsRadio 94WIP. Steele did not have a rushing attempt at the time of his exit, but he did record a four-yard reception. Steele took a hard hit after the catch, and that led to further evaluation. However, Steele is back in action. The Eagles also have Dameon Pierce and Jaydon Blue available at running back.

The Philadelphia Eagles are down three running backs, as Saquon Barkley (hamstring), Tank Bigsby (abdomen, IR) and Will Shipley (foot, IR) are all unavailable for a Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. This likely means that Carson Steele could see his first touches of the season for the depleted Philadelphia offense. Steele was activated off of the team's practice squad and signed to the 53-man roster ahead of the Eagles' Week 5 game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. However, Steele did not see any snaps on offense against the Jaguars. He did play 20 snaps on special teams, though. The Eagles don't have many options in the backfield due to the injuries, but Dameon Pierce, who played 48 snaps against Jacksonville, is expected to start. Steele should have opportunities behind Pierce on Sunday against Carolina, but what his exact role looks like is unclear. It also would not be surprising to see the Eagles sign practice squad running back Jaydon Blue to the active roster ahead of Week 6. Steele has played in 18 career games, including three starts. He has rushed 56 times for 183 yards (3.3 yards per carry) and tallied seven receptions for 26 yards. Steele has not yet scored an NFL touchdown. Steele ranks as RotoBaller's No. 72 running back for Week 6, and he is projected to accumulate 4.5 fantasy points. There is no reason to pick Steele up or add him to your lineup in standard leagues until Philadelphia's backfield picture becomes clearer.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Friday that they signed running back Carson Steele to the active 53-man roster and released veteran quarterback Andy Dalton in a corresponding move. They placed backup RB Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on Injured Reserve earlier this week due to an abdominal issue that will require core-muscle surgery. Meanwhile, starting RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars after he injured his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. With both Barkley and Bigsby out this weekend, the Eagles are expected to roll with Will Shipley as their primary running back, with Dameon Pierce and Steele backing him up. The 23-year-old Steele, a former undrafted free agent from UCLA, handled 56 carries for 183 yards (3.3 yards per carry) and no touchdowns in 17 games (three starts) as a rookie in 2024 with the Kansas City Chiefs. Barkley's injury is not believed to be long-term, so it is possible he will return next week to face the Carolina Panthers.

Free agent running back Carson Steele has been signed to the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad, according to an announcement from the team. Steele had been with the Eagles throughout training camp and the preseason. He was uninspiring on the ground with just 59 rushing yards on 21 carries (2.8 YPC), but he made up for it as the team's leading receiver. In total, he caught 14 passes for 136 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. His dominant preseason receiving stat line wasn't quite enough to get him a roster spot, nor did any of the other 31 teams want to sign him to their 53-man roster. However, the Eagles evidently felt like he was worth bringing back as a practice squad player. Other teams can still bring him onto their 53-man roster, but for now, he'll offer depth behind Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley without occupying an active roster spot. He remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

The Philadelphia Eagles have revealed plans to release running back Carson Steele, Jordan Schultz reported on Saturday. Steele had eight carries for 24 yards and added eight catches for 52 yards and a touchdown in the air in Philadelphia's 30-13 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday. The 23-year-old emerged as an intriguing pass-catcher out of the backfield in preseason play, but remained a long shot to make the Eagles' 53-man roster with running backs Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley all ahead of him on the depth chart. The former UCLA product logged 56 carries for 183 yards and no touchdowns during his rookie season with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024, then spent the entire 2025 season on the Chiefs' practice squad before being signed by the Eagles in January 2026. While he had an interesting training camp, Steele is not a roster-worthy asset in fantasy since he didn't make the Eagles' final cut.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Carson Steele put together another highly productive all-purpose game in his team's preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday, recording eight carries for 24 yards and eight catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. Steele has been heavily involved as a pass-catcher out of the backfield of late, recording 11 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns across Philadelphia's last two exhibition contests. With Eagles running backs Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley all seemingly ahead of him on the depth chart, Steele could still be a long shot to make the 53-man roster in Philadelphia. However, his receiving production could be noteworthy enough for him to either force his way onto the Eagles or be picked up by another team. The 23-year-old is not roster-worthy for fantasy managers just yet, but he's a name to monitor as NFL rosters are finalized in the coming days.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Carson Steele was one of the standout performers from his team's second preseason game against the New England Patriots on Saturday, recording 117 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 18 touches. Philadelphia has three running backs who currently appear to be ahead of Steele on the depth chart in Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley. However, The Athletic's Brooks Kubena reports that Steele's stock is trending up and the Eagles could be looking for a way to sneak him onto the 53-man roster. Steele recorded 56 carries for 183 yards across 17 games (three starts) with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024, but did not appear in an NFL game in 2025. In the case of an injury in the Eagles' backfield, Steele could be a name to monitor in deeper league formats.
