Isiah Pacheco Looks To Get Back On Track

Isiah Pacheco Looks To Get Back On Track

one year 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.
