Expectations last year were that the Chiefs would utilize some level of committee backfield with Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Instead, Pacheco was the bell cow, racking up 249 combined touches in 14 games while McKinnon (46) and CEH (87) combined for 133. There are few players in the NFL that run harder than Pacheco, who gives maximum effort on seemingly every touch. Whether such an approach is sustainable over the long haul is debatable, but through two seasons he has missed just two games due to injury.
The Chiefs didn't make any notable additions at running back, and at this stage they appear to have decided not to bring back McKinnon, allowing CEH to be the backup and perhaps opening up a spot at RB3 for last year's training camp darling, Deneric Prince. However things shake out down the depth chart, it's clear that this is Pacheco's job. In a league that has more and more committees in the backfield, the chance to draft a true lead back is becoming increasingly rare. A talented weapon in a dangerous offense, Pacheco heads into 2024 as a top-10 fantasy RB.

Kansas City bringing back Kareem Hunt
Champs add former Chief to help replace Isiah Pacheco
By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 17, 5:30 pm
|  | Reunion: Veteran RB Kareem Hunt is signing with the #Chiefs practice squad, per source.
After the injury to Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City brought in Hunt - the team’s 2017 third-round pick - for a workout. He should have a chance to play soon. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: While reunions with a team's former standout is almost always noteworthy, the 29-year-old Hunt has not been a good running back in either of the last two seasons behind what was a good offensive line in Cleveland. Hunt's arrival and eventual addition to the active roster figures to make it tough for fantasy managers to place any trust in Carson Steele and Samaje Perine while Pacheco is out. There is also a chance Clyde Edwards-Helaire joins the fray at some point, which could make this whole backfield almost useless from a fantasy perspective. For what it is worth, Hunt will likely be little more than insurance - probably stealing no more than five touches per game - while Pacheco is out.
|  Fractured fibula for Isiah Pacheco, headed for IR
Chiefs thin at running back
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Sep 16, 9:35 am
| | From @GMFB: #Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco suffered a fractured fibula and will likely be placed on Injured Reserve. More information coming to determine severity and associated damage, but Pacheco is set to miss real time. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs have lost Marquise Brown for the season and are now set to be without their main running back for multiple weeks. Carson Steele and Samaje Perine are next up but expect the Chiefs to make a move at the position, perhaps reuniting with Jerick McKinnon who is a free agent. Clyde Edwards-Helaire is on IR and out at least through Week 4.
| RB Samaje Perine to sign with Chiefs
Help on 3rd downs
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Aug 28, 1:27 pm
| | The #Chiefs are signing veteran RB Samaje Perine to their active roster, sources tell me and @RapSheet. (Mike Garafolo on X)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs will now have a combination of Perine, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Carson Steele behind starter Isiah Pacheco. Perine was somewhat of a third-down specialist for the Broncos last season, posting a 50-455-0 line through the air. A similar role could be awaiting in Kansas City. All three of the Chiefs backup running backs are not worth drafting in most leagues. A committee approach will be taken if something happens to Pacheco.
