BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Isiah Pacheco has made it clear to everyone that he's the lead back for the defending Super Bowl champs this season. He went up against the best run defense in the league last week and racked up 89 rushing yards on 19 attempts (4.7 yards per attempt).
However, his main weakness is his liability as a receiver, which has hindered his fantasy numbers. He has caught four passes for -1 yards since Week 8. Many fans are now overreacting and have crossed KC out of their contenders list, which will undoubtedly motivate Patrick Mahomes and company as they take on the Raiders.

They are 9-1 against the Silver and Black in the Mahomes era, and luckily for Pacheco the Raiders have the sixth-worst rushing defense in the league and have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to RBs in the standard format.
Mahomes usually throws a lot against them so this prevents Pacheco from being a true RB1, but he'll still be a safe RB2 option with a high upside this week.
