BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Chiefs played us a couple of weeks ago when they said they would be starting Isiah Pacheco instead of Clyde Edwards-Helaire... only for the former to start the game, yes, but to also end playing basically the same amount of snaps CEH appeared in (19 vs. 17) while getting just two more carries.
That seems to have finally changed once and for all after what we witnessed in Week 10. Edwards-Helaire is coming off a no-carries, two-targets game in which he laid a fantasy egg. Pacheco rushed the rock a season-high 16 times for 82 yards and although he fumbled one ball and didn't score, that usage was clearly a sight to behold.
Pacheco has scored one single touchdown this season (all the way back in W1) but the 16 rushing attempts he logged last Sunday are more than encouraging considering he had gotten 16 carries in the past five games combined.
Not only is the usage right, but it's also coming at a phenomenal moment in time as the Chiefs will be facing mediocre-to-bad teams in their remaining games this season. You know what that means: carries in bunches.
Pacheco should be one of the most widely targeted WW options of the week if not the ultimate addition off waivers entering Week 11 with big upside ROS for all managers in all formats.
The only thing keeping Pacheco from being an All-league add/start is the presence of Jerrick McKinnon in the offense and the sharing of touches/pass-play-back-role he holds in the offense.
