Pittsburgh Steelers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Echols had a strong rookie year with the Jets in 2021, but his production declined over the next two seasons. However, he bounced back in 2024, totaling 40 tackles (29 solo), two interceptions and three pass defenses over 16 regular-season appearances while operating in a rotational role. Echols inked a two-year deal with the Steelers during the offseason and should compete with Beanie Bishop for snaps as the team's slot corner. Read Past Outlooks

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Echols was selected in the sixth round of the 2021 draft by the Jets. A lack of established players ahead of him on the cornerback depth chart could lead to a surprisingly large role for Echols if he proves to be NFL-ready, but he'll likely start his career working mostly on special teams.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
New deal a priority for New York
CBNew York Jets
March 3, 2025
Echols is a player the Jets would like to re-sign, Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda reports.
ANALYSIS
A sixth-round pick in 2021, Echols claimed a starting job in the secondary toward the end of last season after spending most of the prior two years on special teams. The Jets are expected to lose cornerback D.J. Reed in free agency this offseason, so retaining Echols would provide some continuity on the back end of the defense.
