Aaron Shampklin

24-Year-Old Running BackRB
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Shampklin went undrafted in 2022 and has yet to appear in a regular-season game in the NFL. He signed with the Steelers ahead of the 2024 campaign but joins a crowded backfield that includes Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson. Shampklin rushed 321 times for 1,888 yards and 20 touchdowns over his final two collegiate seasons at Harvard, but it seems unlikely that he'll have a fantasy-relevant role in Pittsburgh if he makes the 53-man roster.

Non-factor in win
RBPittsburgh Steelers
October 16, 2024
Shampklin rushed once for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
With teammate Jaylen Warren returning from a two-game absence, Shampklin played just four of the Steelers' 63 offensive snaps Sunday. In three games, the 24-year-old Harvard product has totaled just six rushing attempts for 17 yards, keeping him out of fantasy consideration with a healthy group of running backs in Pittsburgh headlined by Najee Harris and Warren. The Steelers will host the Jets in Week 7.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could move up to RB2 in Week 5
RBPittsburgh Steelers
September 29, 2024
Shampklin could play a meaningful role in Week 5 against the Cowboys, as Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports that Cordarrelle Patterson left Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Jaylen Warren sat out against Indianapolis due to a knee injury, and if neither Warren nor Patterson play in Week 5 against Dallas, Shampklin would be next in line to slide into a change-of-pace role behind Najee Harris. Shampklin got his first NFL carry against the Colts and rushed for five yards, while Harris is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry.
