Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has been a pick part of the team’s success in recent years. Despite only being a seventh-round pick, he has emerged as a star for the Chiefs since the 2022 NFL draft. However, he has struggled with injuries the past two seasons. Here is all we know about his status ahead of the Chiefs’ game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
What Happened to Isiah Pacheco?
Isiah Pecheco suffered a sprained MCL in Week 8 during the Chiefs’ game against the Washington Commanders. He has been out ever since, and the Chiefs have struggled in his absence. They lost their past two games, including a 22-19 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Will Isiah Pacheco Play Week 12?
As things stand, there has not been an update for the Chiefs coaching staff about whether Isiah Pacheco will be ready to play this weekend. He remains listed as questionable on the injury report. Fans are encouraged to keep an eye on his status at practice this week. That should give a good indication of where he is at in his recovery.
Isiah Pacheco Fantasy Outlook
When available, Isiah Pacheco is a solid fantasy option on a team that typically has a strong offense. The passing threat of quarterback Patrick Mahomes tends to open up the middle of the field for Pechco, and as a result, he has a lot of potential to put up significant yardage. However, both Mahomes and the Chiefs have struggled this season.
With Pacheco on a team that is less dynamic than in recent years, he is not as strong a fantasy option. Adding the fact that it is unclear when he will return, the fantasy outlook for him is not strong for the rest of the season.
Best Fantasy Replacements If Isiah Pacheco Misses This Week
If you have Isiah Pacheco on your IR, you will be looking for a replacement. There should be plenty of options on the waiver wire. We are fans of Emanuel Wilson on the Green Bay Packers, as he goes up against the Vikings this week. We also like Sean Tucker on Tampa Bay, who will have a big test this week against the Los Angeles Rams.
