Huddle Up: Given his total lack of fantasy production since returning from injury, which has led to more work for RB Kareem Hunt, Pacheco is entirely avoidable in Week 17 action.

Huddle Up: Pacheco split the backfield carries with Kareem Hunt right down the middle, with both players going for 13 carries. Pacheco had just 2.5 yards per attempt, so coach Andy Reid and the offense was trying to go another way. Xavier Worthy went for three runs, 30 yards and a touchdown, too, as Kansas City was trying a couple of different things to jump-start the rush attack. We'll keep a close eye on the Hunt vs. Pacheco situation, however. If there is a backfield split in Week 16 against the Houston Texans, both players would be more of a low-end RB2 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams. That's not what fantasy managers want to see in the fantasy playoffs.

Huddle Up: Although he didn't find a lot of running room, it was encouraging to see Pacheco handle a bulk of the carries in his second game back from injury. He should lead the backfield going forward and will be in the RB2 mix.

Huddle Up: Pacheco returned to the lineup after missing multiple weeks and evenly split the carries with Kareem Hunt. He likely will receive more work in the weeks to come and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Pacheco will have a role in the offense this week, but it is not known if he will take over as the starting running back against the Las Vegas Raiders. He can still be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues even if he receives a limited role.

Huddle Up: Pacheco has been sidelined since Week 2, so fantasy managers should expect him to split carries with Kareem Hunt in his first game back against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday. At what point Pacheco becomes the lead back remains up in the air, but it should happen by the start of the fantasy playoffs if he is fully healthy. Consider him more of a flex option with upside this week.

Huddle Up: Pacheco is on track to return to the lineup for the first time since September but probably will be eased back into the lineup. He is probably not a great starting fantasy option this week but should have more value in the upcoming weeks.

Huddle Up: Pacheco logged a full practice on Tuesday, which was the first sign that he'd make his return. While he should be rostered in all formats, Pacheco is not a suggested lineup option, as not only is he likely to be eased back in, he has to split work with Kareem Hunt. As for Hunt, he'll likely still take on the vast majority of work in Week 13 as Pacheco is eased back in, but his outlook is murky beyond this week.
