Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (leg) to miss 6-8 weeks

Sep 16, 2024

The injury Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco suffered on Sunday is a serious one, but not season-ending.

Pacheco will miss 6-8 weeks, according to multiple reports. Pacheco will go on injured reserve but does expect to play again this year.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, that’s reasonably good news considering that Pacheco reportedly suffered a fractured fibula, which can sideline players for multiple months. A report said the Chiefs are bringing in Kareem Hunt for a visit, so a reunion could be possible. For now, Steele and Perine look like they'll split the workload but the Chiefs will likely have to bring in another back.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
