RB Isiah Pacheco, KC (1 Viewer)

I wonder how much of these early injuries are due to guys skipping camp, not doing much in the off season, and being rested in the PS..Just seems odd, how many guys struggle and are hurt right off the bat.

Are there more injuries early than late? This year so far has been brutal
The hamstring injuries are.
 
This guy is tough as nails but you can't run on a broken leg. He'll fight through some pain to get back early.

Chiefs have a Week 6 bye week. Week 7 would seem about right. Actually a timely bye week for this kind of injury.
Correct me if I am wrong but...
IR-4 weeks/4 games is what I assume
Week 3, 4, 5
Bye week which doesn't count towards the 4 games ao then it's Week 7 still on IR
Week 8 would be the 1st week back and you would hate to just insert him into your line up until you see is fully healed
Wk8 Oct 27th Week @-LVR then they host Tampa Bay on Nov 4th in Wk 9...
4 games spread over 5 weeks plus at least a ramp up week before you would want to start him
You're looking at about 6 full games or half the FF season+ is over already

Maybe. I don't think they put him on IR for exactly that reason. Why tie him up an extra week? Bone injuries are way more predictable. The bone heals in time or it doesn't. That's one the human body does a remarkable job of fixing.

Google says it takes 6 weeks. This guy is a super athlete and will be ready in 5 weeks with some kind of specialized protection and pitch count.
If he can avoid surgery, and depending on the time it takes for the bone to heal, the bone healing and rehab should take longer than six weeks. I can not see how he avoids the IR in any way, shape, or form. There also could be ligament damage. Six weeks seems like an outlier. It is not impossible, but so many factors would have to be in his favor. I hope Google is correct, but I would make plans for him to be out for the rest of the season.

He's already on IR. MOP had it nailed above. It's going to be longer than 6 weeks it would appear.
 
He runs so hard. I know anyone can get injured, but just felt like he has a higher risk due to his style. Not necessarily this type of injury, but was worried about head/neck injuries.
 
If it's a break that didn't require setting, he could be out as little as 4 weeks. It really depends on the severity of the break. Hairline fracture he'll be back quick. Full break, he could be out 2+ months.
 
Fun guy to watch play football. Dude is like a Marion Barber lite.
....or Marshawn Lynch lite. His violent style is fun to watch, but would make make me nervous for long term fantasy.
Yep. What makes it worse is he is so animated. So you always have those few seconds where your wondering about his health after each play. Okay he doesn't appear to be hurt. Ha ha. I don't think I'd enjoy rostering him for that reason.
I wonder if his violent running style caught up with him, or just bad luck.

Freak accident but you could argue it was his running style since he refused to go down and got dragged down backwards
 
Better chance of me starting for KC than Hunt. That bridge is ash.
When is your flight to KC? Cause Hunt is back in KC.
I need a new agent apparently.

I haven't seen anything saying he's signed, just that he has a visit tomorrow.
Yes apologies. Expected to be signed. I'll be shocked if he's not signed within 24 hours.

Andy Reid Says The Chiefs Won't Try To Bring Kareem Hunt Back, But They Should​


Andy Reid said just now the Chiefs planned to go with the RBs they have, which are Carson Steele and Samaje Perine with Keaontay Ingram and Emani Bailey on practice squad. Also, CEH is on IR and not eligible to be activated for two more weeks.

Is he eating peanuts on his flight as we speak? Or is that really true?

Either Reid didn’t say that, or he isn’t on a flight to KC. Because no way both are true.

Reid probably said it to the media, or wasn't sure.

If you want to get picky, he prob isn't on a flight RIGHT THIS SECOND.

With RB Isiah Pacheco expected to be sidelined 6-8 weeks, the Chiefs are bringing their former RB Kareem Hunt back to Kansas City for a Tuesday visit, per league sources. Hunt could help fill the Chiefs’ running back void.

Not sure why Reid would say that and then fly him to KC on Tuesday. Change his mind?
 
Coaches lie and are full of **** all the time.

What is the typical waivers these days? I have a Falcons player that I can drop for Hunt right now this instant. Lost Pacheco too.

Not really sure what you're asking here. I wouldn't drop anyone meaningful to add Hunt considering Hunt hasn't signed with KC.

I was half-joking in the other topic when I named Hunt, considering he didn't exactly have an amicable departure from KC the 1st time around. I'm skeptical he's the dude, but it's possible.

I could drop Dotson for him, but choose not to. Hunt wasn’t looking good the last time I checked and hasn’t for awhile.

Buying the rumor, selling the news. If Hunt signs for the Chiefs he can be traded for someone of value maybe. But I lost Pacheco so I think in a 12 team league he’s worth dropping a Mooney or Cousins type to waivers.

They don't give out peanuts on flights anymore because kids are always allergic. But he's probably got that box lunch with the hummus and vegetables.

You can still get peanuts on some airlines if you ask for them. At least I remember that recently, because I asked and I got.

Seems like a pointless risk... just give some pretzels.

what falcons player?

Mooney. Or basically any end of roster guy (Mooney, Cousins, Goedert, etc.)
I for sure would not be cutting Goedert. Cousins yes.

I don't like cutting Mooney unless you:

A: Own Pacheco
B: Are very thin at RB
C: are 0-2 and need to take a big risk
D: All of the above. And it's most likely this one.

Hunt was without a job for a reason. He hasn't looked good in a long time.

Bad luck. His running style would lead to concussions, contusions, etc. Getting a foot trapped under another player is completely luck based.

I dropped Shipley for Hunt.
Was planning to drop him next week anyway, so if Hunt does not sign, I will just drop Hunt next week.

If Barkley goes down I think he would be a lot more valuable than Hunt.

Are there more injuries early than late? This year so far has been brutal
The hamstring injuries are.
Are they? Why? Why not calves? Or abdominal strains? Or glutes? Or quads? Plantar fascia? Etc.

There has to be a resource that tracks this kind of stuff.

If not, you're welcome to whoever takes that idea and runs with it.
 
I have an offer in my dynasty league, I give Pacheco & 2nd Rd rookie draft next year, I get back Brian Robinson
I'd def take that. Robinson looks very solid this year. Minimum 15 touches a game. Ekeler will steal value from him this year, but he won't last too much longer.

Looks to be a focal point of the offense. You'll never have that in an offense with Pat Mahomes.

Don't need the constant headache of worrying about a super violent running style either.
 
I can't see who is going to have more time with Pacheco out and no one looks like a serious RB2 even. As a R Rice owner I am hoping they lean a little more on passing. Since I'm 2-0 now I won't have a shot at any of the KB backs on the wire anyway so a moot point.
