Isiah Pacheco

24-Year-Old Running BackRB
2022 Fantasy Outlook
After posting lackluster numbers at Rutgers the last four years, Pacheco could prove to be one of the steals of the 2022 Draft. He has the frame of an NFL starter at 5-10, 216, and his 4.37 40 time at the combine suggests he can do damage if his offensive line creates open space. Pacheco may have picked up some bad habits in college working behind a brutal Rutgers O- line, and he'll have to show he has the patience necessary to let plays develop, but the combination of size and speed makes him more compelling than the typical seventh-round pick. It doesn't hurt to land in Kansas City, home of a high-powered offense led by QB Patrick Mahomes and a mediocre RB depth chart led by Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Ronald Jones. Reports out of camp have been positive, and Pacheco even got a few snaps with the first-team offense in KC's first two preseason games. Read Past Outlooks

Big effort in Super Bowl win
RBKansas City Chiefs
February 12, 2023
Pacheco carried the ball 15 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-35 Super Bowl win over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Pacheco dominated work out of the Chiefs backfield, out-carrying Jerick McKinnon, 15-4. He was productive with the work, highlighted by a long gain of 24 yards and also a one-yard touchdown plunge midway through the third quarter. After a surprisingly impressive rookie season during which he posted 830 rushing yards and five touchdowns across 17 regular-season games, Pacheco is likely to factor heavily into Kansas City's offensive plans in 2023.
