RB Chris Rodriguez Jr., WAS (2 Viewers)

Looks G2G, I think at least RB3/Flex workload expected. https://x.com/CameronWolfe/status/1988609550640087258

Worth dropping Pacheco for?

Depends on your roster, and it’s a risky move. I tend to think Rodriguez will be more valuable going forward.

Teams going in different directions. WASH should pivot to lean on the running game - whereas KC will probably keep on doing what they are doing - running through the pass game.

Right now, I value Rodriguez over Pacheco.

I dropped Pacheco for CRod last week (Pacheco's bye) and am still holding. No one's picked up Pacheco since. The news that Pacheco is not practicing and "probably won't be ready for this week" is keeping people away for sure. Clicking his player icon and seeing that Questionable-MCL tag really makes me think no one is going to be going after him anytime soon.

So, yeah, unless you're stacked and are looking many weeks ahead (and if you are, why is this your question), CRod has value "now", Pacheco maybe has at a best case similar value "later".

Decided not to drop him for CRod.

CRod is on bye next week which is why I hesitated. Unless I start him this week...which I may have to...I think I'll hang on to Pacheco.

We'll see. If there's anymore coachspeak about his role increasing, Pacheco is gone. Don't think CRod is on anyone's radar in this particular league if he's still sitting there in FA for free.

You chose wisely.

Yea Pacheco, is more valuable here. but not grossly. I believe Rashee Rice is the biggest impact to KC backfield. As long as he is upright he kinda functions as a suedo pass catching RB

Plus Hunt is just a much better runner than Pacheco so while he may officially be the starter, Hunt will get the goal line work which means 40 yards rushing and not much else for Pacheco.

At least Rodriguez has a chance to be the lead back in Washington. I would rather roll with him than Pacheco. Better of two bad options IMO
