Isiah Pacheco Week 3 Outlook - Chiefs at Giants

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 18th 2025, 1:05pm EDT

Isiah Pacheco has been a massive letdown to this point. He has averaged 53% of the snaps, had 15 of 29 running back carries, and a 37.6% route share. He has averaged only nine touches and 28.5 total yards. His per-touch numbers also haven't been anything to write home about, with zero explosive runs, a 7% missed tackle rate, and only 2.40 yards after contact per attempt. He has only one red zone rushing attempt, while Kareem Hunt and Patrick Mahomes have combined for five. This might be the last hurrah. If Pacheco can't post a nice stat line this week, it might be time to consider giving up hope. The Giants have fielded one of the worst run defenses in the NFL, allowing the most rushing yards per game, the seventh-highest explosive run rate, and the second-most yards after contact per attempt.
