Week 9 vs. Tennessee Titans
Isiah Pacheco technically drew the start in Week 7 and ran the ball eight times for 43 yards while seeing no targets. Pacheco also maintained his kick returning duties, adding 126 yards, the third time this season he's topped 90 return yards. As for his offensive production, he played a season-high 30% of the offensive snaps in Week 7, which was slightly more than Clyde Edwards-Helaire (27%) but less than Jerick McKinnon (44%). Pacheco has been decent as a runner this season, but has been a non-factor as a receiving threat. Of Pacheco's 74 offensive snaps this season, he's only seen two targets. This three-headed Kansas City backfield has been effective in real-life, but frustrating for fantasy owners. Pacheco has some appeal in leagues where return yards count, but he may not see enough touches on offense to make him a strong play in most leagues. Plus, he'll face a tough Titans run defense that's 5th in aFPA to RBs this season. Pacheco should be viewed as RB3/flex play in Week 9.
