The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to have a new starting running back for the 2026 season, according to Nate Taylor of ESPN. The Chiefs had one of the worst rushing attacks in the NFL last year with RBs Isaiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt. Pacheco didn't have a single rush of 20-plus yards, while Hunt had only one. Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who is returning to the franchise, will be tasked with improving the rushing attack in KC, although head coach Andy Reid will remain the offensive play-caller. Both Pacheco and Hunt will be free agents in March, leaving Brashard Smith as the only RB on the roster under contract. It means that the Chiefs' backfield could look drastically different in 2026, and they will most likely be in play for one of the top free-agent RBs. Hunt led the Chiefs in rushing in 2025 with only 611 yards on 163 carries (3.7 yards per tote), while Pacheco had only 462 yards on 118 carries (3.9 YPC).--Keith Hernandez
