Chiefs plan to designate RB Isiah Pacheco (leg) to return

Nov 12, 2024

The Chiefs are planning to designate RB Isiah Pacheco and DL Charles Omenihu to return from IR this week.

The 9-0 Chiefs, the last remaining undefeated team, are starting to get healthier. A scary sight.

Fantasy Impact:

Pacheco's return date has been said to be around late November, and we're getting to that point and he seems to be on pace. Pacheco was the team's RB1 before getting hurt. Pacheco will likely be eased back into action, but it will be interesting to see what the Chiefs do with their RBs once they feel Pacheco is back up to speed.

Saints coach Darren Rizzi said team is expected to open the practice window for both RB Kendre Miller and WR Bub Means this week as they're eligible to return from IR.

Fantasy Impact:

Another beat reporter, Ross Jackson, went on add in a post on X that Miller will get a clean slate and it's "all gas, no brakes" when Miller gets back. With the Saints not going anywhere, the return of Miller could eat into Kamara's workload. Taysom Hill is out for the season, so Kamara may get an extra crack at the end zone now and then, but it's probably worth it for the Saints to get more looks at Miller to close out the season. It's just something for Kamara owners to keep in mind once Miller is back on the field.

Saints TE Taysom Hill (ACL) out for the season

Tests today confirmed that Saints TE Taysom Hill is out for the year with the knee injury he suffered Sunday, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

This was the fear after the injury happened during Sunday's game. Hill had six rushing touchdowns this season as that's the area where he did the most damage this year. The injury should open up more chances for Alvin Kamara, but the Saints lose another offensive weapon for the rest of the season. Hill is under contract with the Saints for one more season.
