Chiefs eyeing backfield split in Week 13? Isiah Pacheco expected to play for first time since Week 2 By: Doug Orth | Nov 26 2024, 6:10 pm
Chiefs OC Matt Nagy on getting RB Isiah Pacheco back: "The best part about that is you just don't have one where they're getting worn down by the time you get to the fourth quarter."

FFToday's Take:While it makes sense that Pacheco will not handle a full workload in his return after logging his first full practice in over two months on Tuesday, the Chiefs would be foolish if they take the "hot-hand" approach much past Week 13. Kareem Hunt has been anything but efficient since taking over the backfield in Week 4, so expect him to take on more of a short-yardage or goal-line role once Pacheco proves his health. Assuming Pacheco is fully healthy, he should be considered a strong RB2 option moving forward.
