Isiah Pacheco, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

After winning 15 games in a row, the Chiefs finally lost for the first time since Week 16 of the 2023 season. Due to all the injuries to their key stars, the Chiefs' winning streak was bound to end eventually. But now, they're about to get a massive boost.

I honestly think the Chiefs were getting a bit complacent as a 9-0 team off of back-to-back Super Bowls. Losing isn’t fun but I think this loss should perk them back up. Hopefully will spark some fire in them. And Mr. Energy himself, Isiah Pacheco is back this week. Him being… pic.twitter.com/aanGn8gjOO

Isiah Pacheco was a massive part of the first half of the winning streak, as he ran for 578 yards and four touchdowns before getting hurt during the Chiefs' eighth consecutive win in Week 2 of the 2024 season. Thankfully for Kansas City, their leading rusher of the 2023 playoffs is ready to return after a stint on Injured Reserve.

Ian Rappoport reported that Pacheco is "healthy enough" to play in Week 12 against the Panthers but could make his return in Week 13 as a precaution. Either way, Pacheco will return before the end of November, which isn't great news for Kareem Hunt's fantasy owners.

Darnell Mooney, WR, Atlanta Falcons

Darnell Mooney has been a huge part of the Falcons' success so far this season, as he averaged 74.3 receiving yards per game from Week 2 to Week 10. However, his great run was halted when he suffered an injury during the Falcons' shocking loss to the Broncos in Week 11.

Mooney suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter and didn't return to the game. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, his injury is not serious, and the Falcons expect him to be healthy in Week 13 after their Bye Week.

Alexander Mattison and Zamir White, RB, Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders had a pretty respectable season last year but have completely fallen off and are having their worst season since coming to Las Vegas. Their run game has been a huge concern, as they rank dead last in the NFL in rushing yards.

Now, things are about to get even worse. Their starting running back Zamir White hasn't looked the same since suffering a groin injury earlier in the year and went down with a groin injury this week against the Dolphins.

But that's not all, as his backup Alexander Mattison also got hurt. It's unclear if either of them will get healthy in time for the Raiders' Week 12 showdown against the Broncos.

If they both get ruled out, the Raiders are left with the veteran Ameer Abdullah and the rookie Dylan Laube as their only running backs.

Tyjae Spears, RB, Tennessee Titans

Tyjae Spears showed a lot of potential as a rookie last season and was expected to be the Titans' RB of the future after Derrick Henry's departure. But he hasn't lived up to the hype this season, and injuries have been a big reason why.

— Jim Wyatt (@jwyattsports) November 18, 2024

He hurt his hamstring in Week 6, which could be a potentially devastating injury for someone like Spears, who doesn't have an ACL in one of his knees. He missed three games, and after returning in Week 10, got hurt again in Week 11.

According to Titans HC Brian Callahan, spears got concussed against the Vikings and is currently in concussion protocol. It usually takes slightly over a week to clear concussion protocol, though there have been some exceptions such as Drake Maye earlier this year. Tony Pollard could get even more touches if Spears misses Week 12.

Gabe Davis, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars are in football hell right now, and things keep getting worse and worse for them. They lost Christian Kirk for the rest of the season in Week 8, and it looks like another wideout will be joining him on Injured Reserve.

Gabe Davis suffered a shoulder injury in Week 4, and re-aggravated it in Week 8, forcing him to miss a game. After returning in Week 10, Davis' hopes of having a good season were shattered when he tore his meniscus in Week 11.

Doug Pederson confirmed that Davis will need a full repair surgery, which will rule him out for the rest of the year.

Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

We end things with another Mike Evans update. The player with the 10th-most receiving touchdowns in NFL history got hurt during the game where he scored his 100th career touchdown and has missed three games in a row.

The Buccaneers haven't won a game without Evans since December 2021. Luckily for Baker Mayfield and "The Krewe," Evans got an extra week to heal up during the Bye Week.

Todd Bowles gave the team the entire week off, and Evans finally started to practice again in the team's first practice back. He previously said he was "hopeful" to return in Week 12, and his return could be imminent if he continues to practice in the coming days.
