Isiah Pacheco Phased Out In Denver

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco fell out of the game plan due to negative game script in Week 8's staggering 24-9 loss to the Denver Broncos, totaling 37 scoreless yards on 11 touches. Things were fine in the first half for the 24-year-old with 35 rushing yards on seven carries, featuring a 19-yard gain, but Pacheco strikingly went backward for 10 yards on two receptions. The Chiefs were then forced to abandon the ground game altogether as they continued to trail, which wound up leaving Pacheco with one second-half rushing attempt and exposing his fantasy floor. The 2022 seventh-round pick had been so dependable for fantasy managers up until this point, so there's hardly much reason to panic. In fact, Pacheco should carry tons of upside as an RB2 in Week 9's Germany duel and offensive bounce-back chance against the fellow AFC heavyweight Miami Dolphins.
