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
Looks good for Week 17
Elliott (hamstring) was a full participant in Monday's walk-through practice ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Elliott missed the Steelers' last two games, but he looks to be ready to go for the Christmas Day game after being listed as a full participant. He's played 69 percent or more of the defensive snaps in all of his 13 games this season, tallying 96 tackles, three fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles and one interception.

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.
