BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Isiah Pacheco’s usage has fluctuated during the season. However, he has become an intriguing back who presents the potential to energize Kansas City’s rushing attack whenever he emerges on the field.
Pacheco attained a 23% snap share in Week 1 while accumulating 62 rushing yards (12 attempts/5.2 yards per attempt). His snap share plunged to just 8.5% in Weeks 2-3, while he was limited to 5 carries/15 rushing yards in both games combined. However, Pacheco’s share rose to 21% in Week 4, as he generated a season-high 63 yards on the ground (11 attempts/5.7 yards per attempt) while infusing explosiveness into the Chiefs’ backfield rotation.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire leads the backfield with a 45% snap share, although that is also the lowest of his career. However, could seize RB2 duties for the Chiefs leapfrogging 30-year-old Jerick McKinnon - who has averaged 4.2 attempts/21.2 rushing yards per game and 1.6 receptions/10.0 receiving yards per game.
Andy Reed could soon be incentivized to increase Pacheco’s role, which would provide fantasy managers with an enticing flex option.
