Isiah Pacheco Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had 12 carries back in Week 1, but his role with the offense plummeted the next two weeks. That changed in Week 4 against the Buccaneers, as Pacheco saw 11 carries for 63 yards, with much of his work coming in the second half. He finished with a higher yards per carry average than Clyde Edwards-Helaire and far outpaced Jerick McKinnon in carries 11-2. Pacheco doesn't have a lot of fantasy value right now, but he's a threat to Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Isiah Pacheco found the end zone in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. He finished with 12 carries for 62 yards, which both led the Chiefs. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. Pacheco made some good plays in his debut, but the touchdown came late in the blowout victory, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire operated as the team's primary running back. While his Week 1 fantasy numbers looked good, his current role is still cloudy. In a close game, what will Pacheco do?

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Isiah Pacheco saw a lot of usage in the preseason, including ending things with a 10-carry, 52-yard effort against the Packers. His production led to a lot of preseason hype, but fantasy managers should temper expectations until we see how the workload shakes out in Week 1 against Arizona. Pacheco could very well end up being a must-add player on waivers after this week, but the fact that he's listed third on the team's depth chart suggests that his role might not be big enough for him to be a reliable fantasy play this week.
