RB Isiah Pacheco, KC (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter rockaction
- Start date
Same! I was offered a trade for his Ceedee, Deebo and Pacheco for my AJ, Monty and Brob. I'd consider it IF pacheco came back but it's risky!
I was just offered McLaurin for Hunt by Pacheco owner. Hunt could be a league winner if Pacheco doesn't return but it's all about volume for Hunt right now. If Pacheco is coming back, I will make this trade. He just released a video of his workouts, but so did Chubb 6-weeks before his actual return. Any update on Pacheco would be great.

If Hunt remains healthy, likely gonna be a frustrating split when Pach returns.

I’m afraid of a timeshare and sold Hunt yesterday. The closer Pacheco gets the more Hunt’s value drops.

Debatable, but the numbers this year with the same offense (except without an alpha WR for Hunt) say otherwise....particularly at the goal line.

Id be fairly surprised if he plays at all during the rest of this fantasy season

Same concern and I just traded Hunt away for that reason.
I picked up Hunt went they flew him in for a meeting a while ago so I have both and don't care how it plays out. From a organizational standpoint, if you are winning ball games (which they are), why rush him back? We argue over who looks better running for fantasy purposes but winning is winning IRL. Also, this was supposed to be a contract year for Pacheco. They could take their time so he doesn't have the chance to command a higher price tag in the offseason. Just thinking out loud.

Why?
The set expectation is out 6-8 weeks. That leaves plenty of the fantasy season for him to come back to.

I have Hunt rostered, but Pacheco is coming back this season (non-negotiable).

I believe that to be optimistic and wrong

Can you explain why?

Because surgery required automatically makes the rehab process take longer than if surgery is not required.
If he had just broken the tibia and it was set, then I'd say 8 weeks would have been possible.
A compound fracture with ligament damage and surgery slows down every aspect of recovery.
Once he gets to the point of actually running (which he isn't at yet), he will still need at least several weeks to build up the strength in the injured area.
He's getting back to NFL football, not working in the office.
I personally don't think he will be useful this fantasy season

They reported no ligament damage though
ETA: also I saw reports of him running last week

Here's a video of him walking briskly last Monday:

The running thing was just something I saw on Reddit I think. A couple days back? Not sure, my life is a blur.

I wouldnt be dropping Hunt Just yet. Based on the surgery performed, it may still take some time for Pacheco to be back to his old self. I am betting you get at least one more good start out of Hunt. (maybe 2)
it is not a given that he gets a full workload either.

Sounds like Pacheco could be back next week vs. the Panthers. In that case, considering the injury he's coming back from + Hunt's production to date, how do you view Pacheco ROS?
Where does it sound like this? Curious as I am looking into a possible trade for him & if he's back that soon, his value is even higher, IMO (I was expecting him to be out the next 3 weeks while his 21 day window was open).

Picked him up as a FA this morning. I certainly hope he plays some part next week, they have Panthers and then Vegas after that.

10 teamer with short benches but...yeah
I would stay with this expectation.
Nothing about him playing this week seemed close. They got Carolina next week so if we are staying with the premise hes' not close now that's not exactly the game you rush. Maybe week 13 but that's the Friday game so early week and the Raiders. My guess is week 13 is possible but most likely week 14.
Also Dr. Chao has said he thinks he returns in December, which is that week 14 game.

Added him last week for free as my RB5. Not expecting too much but if he comes back strong, nice late season option. Seems more likely to play against Vegas, rather than Panthers, pity those two matchups come a bit soon for him to capitalize.

I still stand on Pacheco coming back and taking the Chiefs backfield over in a matter of 2 weeks. Hunt has been a good stop gap but Pacheco is on another level imo.
Hunt will still get some touches of course but Pacheco was playing on all 3 downs prior to injury and I think he goes back to that usage in short time.

Agree. I'd be really surprised if he plays this week. Bring him back on the Black Friday game and then he gets a few extra days rest after that.

Wait, there’s football on Black Friday??

Raiders/Chiefs 3pm. Think this is the 2nd year of black friday football.

Love this little dude. The problem is he would be too stressful to watch play if u owned him.

I can’t see him doing much this season coming off a broken leg. What he will do is crush Hunt’s production though.

Another limited practice for him today

I think if you have Pacheco you start him unless you have great options. As for me, with only Hunt, I bench him. At least in week 13. I have some players on a bye in week 14, so it's wait and see usage in week 13 if both are active.
If both are active I could choose Devonta Smith (if healthy) or MHJ for a flex (set at other 2 RB positions).

Damn.....I own Hunt and he has been in my lineup as one of my flex options ever since I acquired him. I'd really like to squeeze one more week out of him.
Hey Andy, let your boy get up to speed for a Wk.14 return.
