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
Won't play Sunday
Elliott (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Elliott's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the 27-year-old was unable to practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Steelers' Week 14 win over the Browns. Damontae Kazee is expected to serve as Pittsburgh's starting strong safety while Elliott is sidelined in Week 15.

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.
