Damontae Kazee Fantasy

The Athletic's Mark Kaboly viewed Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee as the starting safety alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick a month ago. However, he's now wondering if Kazee will be a platoon player with Keanu Neal based on scheme and opponent. The Steelers got a look at Neal in various positions this spring, and he looked good everywhere. At worst, Kazee will be in a situational rotation in Pittsburgh's secondary in 2023. The 30-year-old missed the first eight games of last season while on Injured Reserve with an arm issue and finished with 20 tackles (11 solo) and two interceptions in nine games (four starts). Kazee has made 53 career starts (78 total games) in his six years in the NFL with three different teams.

Free-agent safety Damontae Kazee signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers over the weekend, according to a source. The five-year veteran has 12 career interceptions and will provide veteran depth behind starters Minkah Fitzpatrick and Terrell Edmunds in Pittsburgh's secondary. The 28-year-old spent last year in Dallas, where he recorded 52 tackles (35 solo), two interceptions, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 17 games (15 starts). Originally a fifth-round pick by the Atlanta Falcons in 2017 out of San Diego State, Kazee has a total of 251 tackles (172 solo), three tackles for loss, 17 passes defensed and seven forced fumbles in 69 career games over five NFL seasons.

Dallas Cowboys starting safety Damontae Kazee was arrested early Tuesday morning on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to the police. Kazee was booked on a Class B misdemeanor and was released after posting $2,500 bond. The 28-year-old has started all six games this year and has 17 tackles (13 solo), an interception and a forced fumble for Dallas' improved defense. The Cowboys are on their bye in Week 7, but Kazee could be facing a suspension from the league and may not be available in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.
