Isiah Pacheco

Isiah Pacheco fractured fibula early last season and was back in roughly two and a half months. Upon his return, he wasn't the same player and was unable to reclaim the lead RB role from Kareem Hunt. But it's hard to imagine Pacheco was anything close to 100% after coming back from a broken leg in under three months. Pacheco was being drafted in the mid to late second round last year , and now you can get him in the seventh round in most drafts. In a backfield that includes Hunt, Elijah Mitchell and Brashard Smith, I still think Pacheco is the best lead-RB candidate the Chiefs have. Pacheco looks like a draft value.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters that Isiah Pacheco “looks tremendous right now.”

Fantasy Impact

Pacheco's role tailed off towards the end of last season after Kansas City brought back Kareem Hunt. The duo figure to remain in a committee in the Chiefs backfield heading into this season. It will be a backfield for fantasy managers to monitor throughout minicamp and training camp.
