Isiah Pacheco Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco saw a lot of usage in Sunday's AFC Championship Game win over the Bengals, with 10 carries and five receptions. He didn't produce a ton on the ground as he finished with just 26 rushing yards, but that was enough to lead the team, as the rest of the Chiefs combined for 10 carries and 16 yards. The passing game was there Pacheco made a real impact, as he turned his five catches into 59 yards. He likely won't get quite as much usage against the Eagles in the Super Bowl, but it's an encouraging sign to see how much more usage he had than the team's other running backs.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco played a solid game last week against the Jaguars, carrying the ball 12 times for 95 yards. On Sunday against the Bengals, Pacheco projects to be an intriguing DFS option because quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is expected to be a little limited, increasing the potential number of touches for KC running backs. While Jerick McKinnon has carved out a role as the pass-catching back, Pacheco has been the main guy to tote the rock, and he found the end zone when these teams met in the regular season. Make sure to sprinkle him throughout your DFS lineups.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco carried the ball 12 times for 95 yards in Saturday's Divisional Round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. With quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) banged up, the team had to rely more than usual on the run game, and Pacheco put together a solid showing, averaging 7.9 yards per carry. He also caught his only target for six yards. He'll likely have a smaller role next week if Mahomes is good to go, but Pacheco will be an intriguing DFS play because of his ability to make plus plays in key situation.
