Isiah Pacheco Week 18 Outlook - Chiefs at Raiders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Jan 8th 2023, 12:05pm EST

Since Week 13, Pacheco has settled into a steady role as the Chiefs' early down grinder averaging 14.8 touches and 82.2 total yards. While McKinnon has crushed him in the high-value touch department over this period (McKinnon 29, Pacheco 16), Pacheco still leads the duo with 43.8% of the carries inside the ten-yard line. McKinnon will be the more popular play of the two, so Pacheco is your leverage route. Pacheco hasn't been impressive as a rusher, but that doesn't mean that in a one-game sample, he can't outscore McKinnon. Pacheco ranks 30th in yards after contact per attempt, 39th in breakaway rate, and 40th in PFF's elusive rating (minimum 75 rushing attempts). The Raiders have been in disarray as a run defense, ranking 25th in rushing success rate and 17th in EPA per rush since Week 12.
