Summary

Carson Steele enters Year 3 as a 23-year-old running back on the Philadelphia Eagles at age 23, ranked #438 at the position in Verdict’s dynasty score (9.0, stable trend). He logged 72 snaps in 2025 on the Eagles’ west coast spread system.

Projection Rationale

Steele logged 72 snaps on the Eagles’ west coast spread system, which is a situational role under Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo. The 72-snap total across 17 games suggests a floor around 20-30 carries per season, depending on his usage in the Eagles’ zone-heavy scheme.

Injury Risk

No injury data is available for Steele, but his age and snap count trajectory suggest minimal injury risk at this stage.

Opportunity Notes

Steele’s snap count held steady at 4.0% in Week 13 and 9.0% in Week 14, but his depth chart position behind D’Andre Swift and Boston Scott limits his upside. The Eagles’ west coast spread system under Kevin Patullo remains a situational role for Steele.

Scheme Fit Analysis

The Eagles’ west coast spread system under Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo is built around situational plays, which is a fit for Steele’s skill set. However, the zone-heavy scheme and two-high shells may limit his usage in certain situations.

Trend Assessment

Stable Steele’s 72 snaps across 17 games in 2025 reflect a stable trend in his usage, but Verdict’s dynasty score indicates a lower-tier profile at the position.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling clears 2025’s 72-snap total if Steele’s usage increases in the Eagles’ west coast spread system. Floor tracks near 20-30 carries per season, depending on his usage in the Eagles’ zone-heavy scheme. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.

Comparable Player

His role as a situational runner on the Eagles’ west coast spread system draws comparisons to Miles Sanders from 2020 Philadelphia — similar small-sample size, similar snap usage, and similar late-season depth chart positioning.
