Isiah Pacheco lands on injured reserve
nbcsports.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Isiah Pacheco is doubtful for Week 1 due to injury, with the Lions uncertain about his availability; fantasy managers are advised to avoid drafting him until further updates.
- Pacheco is expected to be the backup to Jahmyr Gibbs on the Lions, with limited standalone fantasy value and no clear path to a significant role unless Gibbs is injured.
- The Lions signed Pacheco to a modest one-year contract to replace David Montgomery, but he appears to have declined in performance, and any new draft picks could challenge his roster spot.
- The Chiefs are expected to have a new starting running back for next season, with Pacheco likely moving on due to injuries and underwhelming production over the past two years.
- With both Pacheco and Kareem Hunt becoming free agents, the Chiefs will likely pursue a more explosive running back in free agency to improve their struggling rushing attack.
