Isiah Pacheco's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (ankle, toe) is officially listed as questionable for the AFC Championship game on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Pacheco didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to a sprained toe, but he was able to return to practice on Friday and is expected to play this weekend. Still, the 24-year-old's injury is something to keep an eye on and makes him a bit more risky as a DFS play against a tough Baltimore defense on the road. Pacheco has had a high fantasy floor thanks to his weekly involvement as the Chiefs' primary running back, and he enters the weekend priced as the second-most expensive RB, behind only Christian McCaffrey. The second-year back has 39 rushing attempts for 186 yards and two touchdowns in two playoff games this year.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (toe/ankle) is missing his second consecutive practice on Thursday due to toe and ankle injuries. The 24-year-old has had a successful start to this year's postseason, producing 186 yards and two touchdowns on 39 carries. He's racked up plenty of bumps and bruises this year, but it's unclear whether or not he's at risk of missing the AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens surrendered the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs during the regular season, so it could be tough sledding for the Rutgers product if he plays. If he cannot suit up, Clyde Edwards-Helaire will likely operate as a bell cow back with limited options available for Kansas City. DFS gamers should monitor Pacheco's practice status and game designation on Friday.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (toe) said he should be good to go for Sunday's AFC Championship matchup against the Baltimore Ravens after missing Wednesday's practice with a sprained toe. The 24-year-old is managing a minor toe injury but should be back at practice on Thursday and Friday and handle his usual lead role in KC's backfield in Baltimore this weekend. In two playoff games this year, Pacheco has remained a huge part of the Chiefs' offense, seeing 39 carries for 186 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and two touchdowns on the ground. The Ravens have a tough defense at all three levels, but Pacheco will still have a high fantasy floor because of his high touch share in Kansas City's offense. Pacheco has had at least 15 touches in eight straight games played.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (toe) will not practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury, according to head coach Andy Reid, who said it's "getting better." It's something to watch with the Chiefs' primary back, but it doesn't sound like anything that is going to keep the second-year running back from playing in the AFC Championship this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. As long as Pacheco returns to practice on Thursday or Friday, he'll be one of the more popular DFS plays this weekend because of the volume he receives in KC's backfield. In the Chiefs' two playoff games this year, the 24-year-old has handled 39 carries for 186 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and two rushing touchdowns. Baltimore's defense is strong everywhere, but Pacheco has a high fantasy floor because of the volume he receives on a weekly basis.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco topped 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time this year in Sunday's narrow 27-24 road win over the Buffalo Bills, handling 15 carries for 97 yards plus a touchdown and adding a 14-yard reception. Pacheco crossed the end zone on a well-designed play to answer a Buffalo score with yet another lead change in this back-and-forth thriller early in the fourth quarter. Perhaps catching the defense off guard after the Bills failed to execute a fake punt, the hard-running 24-year-old rumbled down the left sideline for 29 yards and came up just three yards shy of another TD. After Tyler Bass missed a late game-tying field goal, Pacheco iced the game and got the Chiefs into victory formation with a first-down run. Continuing to dominate RB opportunities after taking 16 of 19 on Sunday, Pacheco is K.C.'s unquestioned workhorse heading into next Sunday's AFC title clash with the Baltimore Ravens.
