Isiah Pacheco

Andy Reid told reporters RB Isiah Pacheco is “good with the protections, he’s good with the technique and fundamentals” when asked if Pacheco could fill the vacated passing-down role.

Former Chiefs passing-down specialist Jerick McKinnon handled 55.0 percent of third- and fourth-and-long snaps and 50.0 percent of the two-minute drill snaps last year. Adding the sizable, vacated role to Pacheco’s workload would be a significant boon to his 2024 fantasy prospects. Reid went on to say Pacheco “can run all the routes, he’s got great hands so... he can do [handle that role].” Pacheco has strong odds of sailing past his RB15 PPR finish from 2023.
