Isiah Pacheco Injury Update
Isiah Pacheco Fantasy Football Outlook
If Pacheco does return later this season, fantasy managers should continue to start him, as he brought fantastic RB2 value to fantasy rosters. Pacheco was averaging 4.0 yards per rush before his injury and was the clear RB1 in that Kansas City backfield.
During his absence, the Chiefs will look to Kareem Hunt, Carson Steele, and Samaje Perine to handle most backfield duties. Hunt has looked like the clear first stringer as the Chiefs fed him 27 carries in Week 5 against the Saints.
Fantasy managers will continue to leave him on the bench until he returns but should monitor any injury updates the Chiefs provide in the next few weeks.
#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes says it's going to be really tough on opposing defenses when they get Isiah Pacheco back. The RB room is quietly a strength of the team.
