What Did Isiah Pacheco Do Last Week?
Last week, Pacheco saw a season-high 15 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown in a 41-10 win over the Bears. He also caught two passes for 16 yards. Pacheco did this despite playing a season-low 42% of the team's offensive snaps, though part of that was because the Chiefs had a blowout win going. Clyde Edwards-Helaire saw extended snaps late in the game when KC had already benched its starters.
Isiah Pacheco Running Back Rankings Analysis
Pacheco is the No. 26 RB in RotoBaller's Week 4 PPR rankings.
| Player | Position Rank | Overall Rank | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Isiah Pacheco | 26 | 62 | 5 |
This makes him a high-end RB3 play this week according to RotoBaller's rankings team. He is trending down this week vs. where he was in Week 3's rankings.
Should I Start Isiah Pacheco In Week 4 Fantasy Football?
The Jets allow the 14th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season, making this a fairly neutral matchup for Pacheco. He's not someone who is a clear fade, but he's also not a must-start.
While he's the RB26 in our rankings which makes him an RB3, he's capable of giving fantasy managers a solid RB2 performance. He's getting the lion's share of touches in the Chiefs backfield and last week's season-low snap rate has a clear explanation. No Chiefs running back will be a clear smash play any week because of the nature of this offense, but Pacheco is a worthy flex play.
