Deneric Prince's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs running back Carson Steele and Deneric Prince are behind second-team running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the depth chart this offseason, but either player could enter the fantasy football radar in 2024 if the backfield is on the wrong side of injury luck. Steele, a rookie undrafted free agent, rushed for 847 yards and six touchdowns and caught 17 passes for 163 yards and two scores in his final collegiate season at UCLA. According to Charles Goldman of AtoZ Sports, he has impressed the team this summer. "Prince seems to be the running back poised to sneak into the rotation," Goldman wrote. "But watch out for Steele, who impressed during his opportunities at mandatory minicamp." Prince spent last season with the Chiefs but played in just two games and did not record a touch. With Jerick McKinnon not currently on the roster, one of the team's young undrafted backs could push Edwards-Helaire for the RB2 role. Even if CEH holds onto the backup spot, Kansas City's RB3 should be monitored in deep fantasy football leagues.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running backs Deneric Prince and Keaontay Ingram, defensive tackles Isaiah Buggs and Matt Dickerson, safety Trey Dean, linebacker Truman Jones, cornerback Keith Taylor, tight end Izaiah Gathings and wide receiver Montrell Washington To Reserve/Future deals on Wednesday. Prince is the biggest name of the group. The 23-year-old signed with Kansas City as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and spent time on their practice squad after impressing the coaching staff during training camp last summer. He was active for two games last season but didn't touch the ball at all on offense and will now return to the Chiefs in 2024 as extra running back depth for the Super Bowl champions.
