2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Chiefs are careful to consistently invest in their offensive line, allowing them to provide consistently good blocking and a favorable setup for whoever is playing running back. Even so, Pacheco has proven a uniquely good fit for the Chiefs offense since they stole him out of Rutgers in the seventh round of the 2022 Draft. His 4.37 speed makes him a home-run threat, and his violent, high-motor running presents a challenging power component to defenses that are already spread thin by QB Patrick Mahomes. Pacheco's violent running does come with long-term durability concerns, especially wear-and-tear ailments like the shoulder trouble he played through in 2023, though injuries have cost him only two games through two seasons. He can handle every running back task and improved his passing-down work last year, eventually taking at least 70 percent of snaps in each of Kansas City's four playoff contests. His workloads typically haven't been that large during the regular season, but it's not out of the question for 2024 after the Chiefs settled for bringing back Clyde Edwards-Helaire in free agency and then added Samaje Perine shortly before the start of the season.

RANKS
Won't return in Week 12
Coach Andy Reid said Friday that Pacheco (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Pacheco has consistently been a limited practice participant over the past two weeks, but he won't be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game against the Panthers. Kareem Hunt will continue to lead Kansas City's backfield. Pacheco's next opportunity to suit up will be Friday, Nov. 29 against the Raiders.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Pacheco probably wouldn't be as good in other offenses, but the Kansas City scheme fit like a glove last year and helped him average 4.9 yards on 170 regular-season carries as a seventh-round pick turned rookie starter. Like Damien Williams on the previous KC championship team, Pacheco thrives without great vision because the offense mostly demands speed and anchor from a running back. Runners normally need vision to decipher the field and locate openings that might not be obvious. In the Chiefs offense, though, it's usually obvious because Patrick Mahomes keeps the safeties back and a standout offensive line blasts openings underneath. Once space is created, Pacheco has the size (5-11, 215), strength and speed (4.37 40) to take advantage. He should continue producing as the lead runner in a pass-first offense, but he'll need more targets to reach the next level as a fantasy asset after seeing only 21 in 20 games (including playoffs) last season. The Chiefs didn't draft a running back or sign any noteworthy veterans, opting to run it back with Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Week 12 status TBD
Head coach Andy Reid was noncommittal Wednesday on whether Pacheco will be available for Sunday's game against the Panthers, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Pacheco practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, which is the same level of participation he posted on Wednesday through Friday of Week 11 preparation before sitting out Kansas City's loss to the Bills. If Pacheco gets the green light to return against the Panthers, it would be his first action since he fractured his fibula against the Bengals back in Week 2. Pacheco's return would likely lead to a decrease in usage for Kareem Hunt.
