There is seemingly a lot to like about Isiah Pacheco in fantasy on the surface level. He's taken over as the primary ballcarrier on the Kansas City Chiefs' NFL-leading offense, for starters. And Pacheco is coming off a 22-carry game in which he scored a touchdown (though he averaged just 3.1 yards per carry).
Do I think [Melvin Gordon is] a big threat to Isiah Pacheco, who's run pretty well and had a clear-cut, dominant share of the team rush attempts the last couple of weeks? No, but I do think this tells us something about ['s] injury. I think he's probably unlikely to be back anytime soon. We already know he's on IR. And for Gordon, he certainly has not looked as good as he did even just in 2021 with the Denver Broncos. He didn't look that good this year.
Just something to consider — and monitor. In the meantime, Pacheco has a matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals to look forward to in Week 13, one that figures to feature lots and lots of points. Kansas City is No. 1 in total offense and Cincinnati is No. 6, and both rank in the top five in points per game . Pacheco was fantasy's RB16 last week, and that was with a dreamy game-script setup against the spiraling Los Angeles Rams.
Here's the FLEX position — check out where Pacheco and the rest of the FLEX options landed in our analysts' rankings for Week 13:
