2024 Fantasy Outlook
Elliott has moved around the league over the past few years and will join his fourth team in four seasons after signing a two-year deal with the Steelers during the offseason. He made stops in Detroit and Miami over the past two years and tallied 82 tackles (53 solo), an interception, a fumble recovery and seven pass defenses over 15 appearances with the Dolphins in 2023. The Steelers' safety corps includes Minkah Fitzpatrick and Damontae Kazee, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Elliott take on a starting role in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

Week 2's IDP standouts start with Lions' defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who had a career high 4.5 sacks against Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield on Sunday.
The Steelers are rebooting under center in 2024, moving on from Kenny Pickett to some combination of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Whoever claims the title of starter will get to throw to WR George Pickens.
The first two years under Mike McDaniel in Miami have been defined by a need for a speed paced by WR Tyreek Hill. With a lucrative long-term contract in place, QB Tua Tagovailoa will continue to lead the way.
A pair of QB trades were overshadowed by the Chargers' decision to ship WR Keenan Allen to the Bears.

2021
Elliott broke out with a career-high 96 tackles during his one-year stint in Detroit, and the Dolphins will now count on him to fill a starting void at safety across from Jevon Holland. He could be primed to take another step forward under new DC Vic Fangio.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Disparages 2023 Dolphins on podcast
Elliott, who spent the 2023 season with the Dolphins, referred to his former squad as "soft" on a recent podcast appearance, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Elliott made his comments on Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey's "Punch Line Podcast," saying he looked forward to playing the Ravens this coming week because his 2023 Dolphins squad lacked mental toughness. The veteran safety insisted "mentally tough individuals" were the exception rather than the rule with the Dolphins, adding it was refreshing and "fun" to be on what he perceived as a tough team in his current Steelers squad and preparing to face another like-minded group in Baltimore.
