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.

Browns TE David Njoku "unlikely" to play Week 3

Kevin Stefanski is hopeful that Denzel Ward (shoulder) can play more than 11 snaps vs. Giants, TE David Njoku 'unlikely' to play.

Fantasy Impact:

Akins has been seeing a bigger workload this year but not enough for our purposes. Over 49 routes run he has accrued only 37 yards. He can safely be kept on waiver wires.

Packers QB Jordan Love returns to practice

Jordan Love practicing for first time since spraining his MCL in opener against Eagles. An awfully good sign for QB1’s availability this week in Tennessee.

Related Players: Malik Willis

Fantasy Impact:

Green Bay rolled out the perfect gameplan for Willis in Love's absence, but we shouldn't assume the latter only gets 14 pass attempts if he's good to go for Week 3. If he's ready to suit up, mark him down as a low-end QB1 against the Titans.
