RANKS
Signed a two-year, $6 million contract with the Steelers in March of 2025.
Increased output in Pittsburgh
Echols recorded 48 total tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 16 games during the 2025 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Echols joined the Steelers ahead of the 2025 campaign after four seasons with the Jets, and he was able to see an uptick in his production. The cornerback registered six passes defensed, two of which were interceptions, and he has now notched at least two interceptions on three of his five NFL seasons. Echols will enter 2026 in the final year of his two-year, $6 million contract with Pittsburgh, and he'll look to compete for a starting role at slot cornerback.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2021
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
New deal a priority for New York
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.
