Andy Reid on RB Isiah Pacheco (shoulder): "He'll be back this week."

Related players: Jerick McKinnon, Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Reid went on to say Pacheco will be, "good to go, unless there's further setbacks. But right now, everything's positive for him to go." It's good news for owners who have survived to this point of the playoffs. McKinnon's stock seems to be rising much like it did last season at this time, so he'll likely resume his RB2 role with CEH probably falling to RB3.

Chiefs ruled out RB Isiah Pacheco for Sunday’s game at New England due to his shoulder injury.

The RB split in Week 13 operated basically the way we expected it to, with Edwards-Helaire taking the majority of the between-the-20s looks and McKinnon finding the end zone on limited touches, which seems to be his modus operandi. With Pacheco out again, both back-ups make for worthy FLEX consideration.

Isiah Pacheco is again not practicing for the Chiefs. Hasn't practiced or played since Green Bay.

The RB split in Week 13 operated basically the way we expected it to, with Edwards-Helaire taking the majority of the between-the-20s looks and McKinnon finding the end zone on limited touches, which seems to be his modus operandi. If Pacheco goes, he's the back to start here.

The Chiefs are ruling out RB Isiah Pacheco, LB Drue Tranquill, DB Bryan Cook, and OT Donovan Smith for their game against the Bills.

This was a fantastic spot for Pacheco, which makes this hurt even more as we head into the final week of almost every fantasy league's regular season. Pacheco has been locked in as the first option in the backfield this season, so we don't have many data points to pull from while predicting the Week 14 rotation.

With that said, we should expect Clyde Edwards-Helaire to get a majority of the short-yardage and goal line work, while Jerick McKinnon —if healthy— figures to get a ton of the passing game work, which should make him very valuable in PPR leagues. It's worth mentioning that the team will be pulling rookie Deneric Prince from the practice squad again. He can be added to teams with deep benches, in case the Pacheco injury hangs around through the fantasy playoffs.

Isiah Pacheco will again miss practice today with shoulder injury. Cook, Tranquill, Donovan Smith also not working today

Pacheco missing what is, on-paper, a great high-scoring affair would be very upsetting for fantasy managers. If he were to miss, Edwards-Helaire would get a huge boost from fantasy irrelevancy to FLEX option. Jerick McKinnon, if healthy, would be in the same boat, as a great pass-catching option, particularly in PPR leagues.

The Chiefs say they will probably wait a week on LB Nick Bolton. Everybody else — including RB Jerick McKinnon and WR Kadarius Toney — is expected to play against the Packers.

This definitely impacts Isiah Pacheco's ceiling —he caught all of his targets for a 5-34 line in McKinnon's Week 12 absence— but that doesn't mean he isn't a slam dunk play here in Week 13 as a fringe RB1/2. As for McKinnon, he can be considered a desperation FLEX, but keep in mind that he only has two games with double-digit fantasy points on the season.

Isiah Pacheco is back to practice today for Chiefs. Willie Gay is back too. Toney, Bolton, Richie James are still out.

The Chiefs running backs are in a great spot this week, as the team are currently heavy favorites against a reeling Chicago Bears squad. Pacheco is a very strong RB2 for Week 3.

The Kansas City Chiefs have clarified the picture at running back after a competitive preseason in which there appeared to be multiple lead changes, so to speak, on the team's depth chart. In the end, the team decided to waive Deneric Prince rather than leave him on the active roster—at least by the league's deadline.

Prince was getting headlines recently as he was running with the first team. But as of late the rumors started flying that he wasn't going to make the team and he's officially waived. Some thought Prince could cut into McKinnon's work on passing downs.

Through two preseason games, Prince hasn’t managed a memorable snap. He has generated just 34 rushing yards on 10 attempts. Prince also appears to have lost his spot as the primary kickoff returner to Richie James, the six-year veteran receiver.

“As a rookie, the volume (of plays during camp) starts to hit you a little bit and it can slow you down,” Nagy said of Prince. “We have a great room of running backs. There’s great competition, and we’re trying to give all the guys (an) opportunity in different spots.”

The article goes on to mention that La'Mical Perine has jumped over Prince on the running back depth chart, and even he is trying to make a case as the team's No. 4 option if they were to keep a fourth running back. Prince had positive buzz after handling some first-team reps earlier in the Summer, but that has faded after uninspiring reps in the preseason.
