Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Isiah Pacheco
Isiah Pacheco (RB – KC): 21% rostered
- Next opponents: @SF, BYE, TEN
- True value: $6
- Desperate need: $13
- Budget-minded: $2
Analysis: I initially did not think much of Pacheco’s acumen as an NFL RB, but the physical rookie back from Rutgers has improved dramatically over the past couple of weeks. Pacheco already entered the league with a staggering athletic profile, but he is also proving to be the home run threat at RB that the Chiefs simply don’t get from Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon. If the pattern continues, Pacheco’s fantasy playoff run is a good bet to be a hit.
