At this time last year, Pacheco was an afterthought, an unheralded seventh-round pick seemingly buried on the depth chart. The then-rookie ran hard every time he was given the chance, however, and he eventually took over as the primary back on early downs. Despite entering the month of November with just 39 carries, Pacheco would end up leading the club in rushing attempts (170), yards (830), and touchdowns (5). He added another 197 yards in the playoffs and heads into 2023 with a strong grip on the top job.
Where things unravel a bit for Pacheco in terms of fantasy value is his lack of involvement in the passing game on a team that finished fifth in the NFL in attempts (651) last year. He had one encouraging effort in the playoffs (five catches for 59 yards in the AFC Championship Game) but otherwise managed just 14 receptions in his other 19 games. As long as he remains primarily an early-down back, his upside will be capped. Consider Pacheco a strong RB3 with the possibility for more.

Chiefs re-sign RB Clyde Edwards Helaire, one-year deal
J.K Dobbins in for a visit
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Apr 2, 4:18 pm
|  | Can confirm Clyde Edwards-Helaire has agreed to a 1-year deal to re-sign with the Chiefs, per sources.
As for J.K. Dobbins, I'm told his visit today was productive for both parties, perhaps a partnership that could happen later this offseason. (Nate Taylor on X)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs only had one running back under contract (Isiah Pacheco) so it's no surprise that CEH is returning. Depending on how the draft shakes out, Dobbins could be signed also as a depth piece.
