Expectations last year were that the Chiefs would utilize some level of committee backfield with Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Instead, Pacheco was the bell cow, racking up 249 combined touches in 14 games while McKinnon (46) and CEH (87) combined for 133. There are few players in the NFL that run harder than Pacheco, who gives maximum effort on seemingly every touch. Whether such an approach is sustainable over the long haul is debatable, but through two seasons he has missed just two games due to injury.
The Chiefs didn't make any notable additions at running back, and at this stage they appear to have decided not to bring back McKinnon, allowing CEH to be the backup and perhaps opening up a spot at RB3 for last year's training camp darling, Deneric Prince. However things shake out down the depth chart, it's clear that this is Pacheco's job. In a league that has more and more committees in the backfield, the chance to draft a true lead back is becoming increasingly rare. A talented weapon in a dangerous offense, Pacheco heads into 2024 as a top-10 fantasy RB.

Chiefs eyeing backfield split in Week 13? Isiah Pacheco expected to play for first time since Week 2 By: Doug Orth | Tue Nov 26, 6:10 pm
| | Chiefs OC Matt Nagy on getting RB Isiah Pacheco back: "The best part about that is you just don't have one where they're getting worn down by the time you get to the fourth quarter."
He mentions that workload will be determined in-game, situationally. (AtoZ Sports - Charles Goldman)
FFToday's Take: While it makes sense that Pacheco will not handle a full workload in his return after logging his first full practice in over two months on Tuesday, the Chiefs would be foolish if they take the "hot-hand" approach much past Week 13. Kareem Hunt has been anything but efficient since taking over the backfield in Week 4, so expect him to take on more of a short-yardage or goal-line role once Pacheco proves his health. Assuming Pacheco is fully healthy, he should be considered a strong RB2 option moving forward.
| Kansas City bringing back Kareem Hunt Champs add former Chief to help replace Isiah Pacheco By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 17, 5:30 pm
| | Reunion: Veteran RB Kareem Hunt is signing with the #Chiefs practice squad, per source.
After the injury to Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City brought in Hunt - the team’s 2017 third-round pick - for a workout. He should have a chance to play soon. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: While reunions with a team's former standout is almost always noteworthy, the 29-year-old Hunt has not been a good running back in either of the last two seasons behind what was a good offensive line in Cleveland. Hunt's arrival and eventual addition to the active roster figures to make it tough for fantasy managers to place any trust in Carson Steele and Samaje Perine while Pacheco is out. There is also a chance Clyde Edwards-Helaire joins the fray at some point, which could make this whole backfield almost useless from a fantasy perspective. For what it is worth, Hunt will likely be little more than insurance - probably stealing no more than five touches per game - while Pacheco is out.
| Fractured fibula for Isiah Pacheco, headed for IR Chiefs thin at running back By: Mike Krueger | Mon Sep 16, 9:35 am
| | From @GMFB: #Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco suffered a fractured fibula and will likely be placed on Injured Reserve. More information coming to determine severity and associated damage, but Pacheco is set to miss real time. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs have lost Marquise Brown for the season and are now set to be without their main running back for multiple weeks. Carson Steele and Samaje Perine are next up but expect the Chiefs to make a move at the position, perhaps reuniting with Jerick McKinnon who is a free agent. Clyde Edwards-Helaire is on IR and out at least through Week 4.
