Carson Steele fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 4 (2024). Should you start or sit Carson Steele for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: Carson Steele made for an interesting story in the preseason as the undrafted rookie turned heads throughout camp. His hard-running style and production in the preseason games earned him a spot on the initial 53-man roster when the regular season began.
Steele has quickly ascended the depth chart in Kansas City and, thanks to the recent injury to Isiah Pacheco, operated as the Chiefs' lead back in a Week 3 win over the Falcons.
While Samaje Perine still mixed in on passing downs, Steele saw 17 of the 23 handoffs that went to running backs in the contest, including plenty of red zone work, including two carries from inside the opponent's five-yard line.

The Chiefs face off against the Chargers on the road in Week 4. Los Angeles has been good against running backs in fantasy through three weeks, allowing the seventh-fewest points per game to the position. Those games came against the Raiders, Panthers, and Steelers; however, they were three low-end offenses that didn't come close to what the Chiefs could do.
Kansas City should have little trouble getting into scoring position, giving Steele a good shot at punching in a short touchdown during the game. As a fantasy gamer, you will want to start pieces of the Kansas City offense, especially a player who appears locked in as the team's goal-line back. Steele is just that, making him a high-end RB3/flex play heading into Week 4.
