RB Carson Steele makes Chiefs initial roster

Aug 27, 2024

On a day of players getting cut, here’s a fun story of one guy who made it: RB/FB Carson Steele is on the Chiefs’ initial 53-man roster.

Fantasy Impact:

Steele is certainly a name to watch. Pacheco seems like the only safe bet on the roster at RB at this point. Despite the team's use of CEH in the past, someone like Steele could continue the climb up the depth chart and be fantasy relevant. We put him as the team's RB3 at this point. As part of cuts today, the team did let go of Prince.

Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

Collins had been out since injuring his hamstring in Week 4. His return Sunday against the Lions is a huge boost to an offense that also lost wide receiver Stefon Diggs for the season. Collins was leading the league in receiving before his injury. Expect the connection between he and C.J. Stroud to pick up right where it left off Sunday.

Christian McCaffrey officially activated from injured reserve

The 49ers officially activated RB Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

McCaffrey will make his season debut Sunday against the Buccaneers after dealing with Achilles tendinitis since the preseason. McCaffrey isn't quite at the top of the board just yet, but he does slide into the top 10 among running backs this week against a middle-of-the-pack rush defense in Tampa Bay.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will undergo season-ending surgery on his injured hamstring.

Fantasy Impact:

Prescott will meet with one more specialist early next week but all signs are pointing towards him getting the surgery. He would be out for four months following the procedure.

The Cowboys were hoping to avoid surgery and had delayed placing Prescott on injured reserve but doctors ultimately believed he needs the surgery.

Cooper Rush will now look to help turn Dallas’ season around, starting Sunday against Philadelphia. A loss would drop Dallas to 3-6 and at least four games back in the division with seven to play.
