Isiah Pacheco Looks To Get Back On Track

Isiah Pacheco Looks To Get Back On Track

2 years ago

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco hit his first major roadblock in Week 8's surprising loss to the Denver Broncos, matching a season worst in carries (eight) and setting new low marks in total yards (37) and red-zone carries (zero). With quarterback Patrick Mahomes stifled last Sunday, the Chiefs had little chance of establishing the ground game against a league-worst Broncos run defense. While it was a big missed opportunity for Pacheco to pop off for a huge game, the 23-year-old will look to shake it off in Week 9's Germany clash with the Miami Dolphins. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's defense has been relatively middle-of-the-pack in most rushing categories, but the third-most rushing scores (six) is an area that stands out for Pacheco to potentially take advantage of. Dominating backfield opportunities and now with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) out, Pacheco is a decent bet find the end zone as a high-floor RB2 on Sunday.
