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
Cleared to play Monday
Elliott (back) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's game against the Giants, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Elliott logged a DNP-LP-FP practice pattern leading up to Week 8 action, and the veteran safety has now managed to avoid Pittsburgh's final injury report entirely. He's played 100 percent of defensive snaps over the Steelers' last two games and has racked up an impressive 51 tackles (33 solo) through seven appearances so far. He also has one pass breakup and one interception.

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
Likely to play Week 18
Elliott is expected to make his return in Week 18 against the Packers, according to Justin Rogers of the Detroit News.
ANALYSIS
Elliott sat out Week 16 and has already been ruled out for Week 17 due to a shoulder injury, but the Lions are optimistic that the safety will be available for the regular-season finale, which could have playoff implications depending on how the cards fall in Week 17. Per Rogers, Elliott's full range of motion in the shoulder has essentially returned.
