Isiah Pacheco is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 9 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Any decision to add Isiah Pacheco should be fueled by your optimism that Andy Reid will eventually allocate a higher percentage of carries to the promising rookie. Pacheco is still functioning in a production-inhibiting committee with Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon while operating with a 16% snap share. However, he did secure a season-high 30% in Week 7.
He has carried 39 times (5.6 per game) and generated 192 rushing yards (27.4 per game). That includes two games in which he eclipsed 60+ yards, which were blended with four games where he failed to exceed nine.
Edwards-Helaire has attained a 41.9% snap share and leads the Chiefs in rushing attempts (65/9.3 per game), rushing yardage (288/41.1 per game), targets (19/2.7 per game), and receiving yards (137/19.6 per game). McKinnon is pacing Kansas City’s backfield with a 42.3% snap share while accumulating 29 carries/119 rushing yards/17 targets/116 receiving yards).
Despite the crowded backfield, Pacheco’s explosiveness could eventually result in an expanded workload. That keeps him elevated among this week’s viable targets for any managers who can comfortably stash him.
