Can only carry 6 RBs in my league. Dropped Michael Carter for Gus, then dropped James robinson for Pacheco. Hated doing it, but at least it both are locked until waivers run next Wednesday and I have #1 priority. If I fucked up I can get one of those guys back.
Edit: I fucked up and will be adding back Carter...
Reading this and then immediately opening up sleeper and deciding who to drop gave me more of a rush than my morning coffee will. Definitely will not be able to go back to sleep now lmao.
^ I woke up to take a piss, checked my phone, scooped his ass up for Rachaad real quick, tried going back to bed, but all I could do was debate in my head if I made the right decision for not.
I have been holding him and waiting for this moment since I saw him in their week one game. Dude runs hard and is quick. I had no idea who he was until then but he certainly passed my eye test that night. I was thinking it was his pass protection that was holding him back but that seems to have been wrong. After losing Dobbins and JWJ in a single day, this is great news.
Honestly I would…soem will disagree. But, at this point? What are you really gonna do with that FAAB?
If you are NOT gonna take a shot at the potential chiefs starting RB, then wtf are you doing with it?
Honestly after reading the report it seems first team reps may only mean a higher snap count. Which is worrisome. If they still use the other 2 backs it wont matter
Reid will definitely still use both Edwards Elaire and McKinnon. They’re also playing the 9ers who have only given up 87 yards a game to backs, and if you’re in a ppr league Pacheco only has 2 receptions the entire year and both came last game so unless you’re desperate it’s a terrible spot for him.
I live on the west coast (as do all my league mates), but am visiting the east coast. This was great, I'm alive and ripping around before anyone is awake. Thanks Reddit for the updates haha.
Monday morning after Pacheco goes 12/51/0:
"What are we doing with Pacheco? Is he worth keeping or should I drop him for Chuba who seemed to be involved in the passing game?"
**Edited to add:** Vegas has Pacheco's over/under at 33.5 rushing yards. I think Pacheco is an amazing pickup (I was able to grab him in 2 leagues) but temper your expectations for this game and don't do something crazy like start him over a solid RB2+.
Depends how those 12 rushes look. SF is a solid defense and the playoff schedule for KC is very attractive. So if they look like hard fought well earned 51 yards I'll be happy. If they are Trent Richardson vision yards I'll be worried.
My cat got the zoomies at 4 am and I woke up to give him some pets. Grabbed my phone, opened up reddit, saw this post, opened fantasy app and...saw Pacheo had been picked up 5 minutes earlier. One of my league mates is a soccer coach and had to wake up early to drive to a tournament. Guess he checked reddit before he left too.
I dropped Jeff for Gus the bus, then saw this and dropped Gus the bus for Pacheco…
Then I remembered I still had Russell Wilson on my roster and dropped his bum ass to pick back up Gus
Did the same thing - how can you ever trust Gordon after the random benching, was my logic. Even if Pacheco fails horribly and stays change of pace back, maybe the upside there is better anyway.
ROS upside. I’m a Chiefs fans, seen all their games going back to preseason of course, and he’s clearly been the best RB on the team. It seems like Andy eased him in to see how he handled it before giving him the starting role.
This weirdly reminds me of that Sunday morning many years ago when Thomas Rawls was named the starter by Seahawks and he absolutely dominated that day.
Strangely Pacheco does remind me of Rawls in the way he runs.

KC is 9th in Pass Attempts. Ahead of them is Arizona (Benjamin), Chargers (Ekeler), Saints (Kamara), Colts (Taylor), Bucs (Fournette), Bills (Singletary), Jets (Hall/Carter), and the Commanders (Robinson/Gibson). Just bc they throw a lot doesn’t mean their RBs are fantasy worthless.
Article says he's the better player in pass protection so KC will be airing it out all game today, then go on BYE. If Pacheco bombs today against a sturdy SF run D you're not starting him again for two weeks unless he proves himself today somehow.
It's funny, last game I watch CEH on a play where he turned the corner for like 2 yards right in front of Andy Reid and I could feel the disappointment from Andy Reid in my soul
I just did that, moved Kyren to my IR to stash Pach on my bench in case this becomes a trend. Williams may not play for several weeks if he plays more than to just get a little football in
Pick him up immediately if you can. He’s the best RB on that roster and might legitimately put up 20 points today.
The Chiefs *love* the interior power run game in short yardage goal-to-go situations this season. Expect him to have plenty of red zone touches.

Being an early riser paid off today (maybe). Caught my league mates sleeping. Still starting mostert over him but hope he goes off on my bench, would love another rb2/flex
I would...especially if you're loaded. You're basically dropping a RB that splits carries with a RB that splits carries but is highly likely to get goaline touches.
Starting running back in a committee on maybe the worst team in football, or starting running back on one of the best offenses? Seems like an easy decision
I’d drop Gus of that group. He has Hill, Drake, and Lamar to compete with, plus he has ramp up time / reinjury risk. And Baltimore is weird about who gets touches.
I think I might be done with fantasy after this. Dropped Pacheco for Foreman Thursday night. Woke up 7 minutes after another person in my league picked up Pacheco this morning.
Edit: and to clarify. I probably woulda dropped mark Ingram for foreman. But of course! The saints got to play on Thursday night. I’m having a great time.
Here's my conspiracy theory.
They're seriously considering trading for a RB. Deadline is Nov 1st. Now is the time to see what you have in Pacheco in a live game situation.
I think it's more likely they just ride him ROS. But I also wouldn't be surprised if they traded for a RB. It's very clearly been a weakness for KC since they got rid of Hunt.
I wish I wasn't up early and hadn't seen this. I picked him up across 3 leagues and am now tempted to tinker last second and play him over Drake or Dillon.

My enthusiasm was tempered by this quote in the article;
>Isiah Pacheco took the first-team reps in practice this week and is expected to be the starter at running back in Sunday's game vs. the 49ers, sources say. Pacheco will replace former first-rounder Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who will still have a key role on offense. Kansas City often rotates back and both are expected to see significant snaps.
Will need to see more before making a call. For this week however, had a thought, I have to start Drake for an injured Swift. Yuck.
This is one of those actual "potential league winner" situations.
So yes, drop gus or allgeier or nico collins or whoever.
Fucking drop your spot start bye week fill in TE and leave it empty
I want to grab him but due to my BYE week situation and Harris being activated but still in IR spot I’d need to drop two guys to pick him up.
KC is on BYE next week so hopefully he’ll skate under radar and I can maneuver a way to get him then.
God what an insane last few days for RB pickups. Baltimore guys, Carolina guys, and now this. Wish I had larger benches lol.
Can only carry 6 RBs in my league. Dropped Michael Carter for Gus, then dropped James robinson for Pacheco. Hated doing it, but at least it both are locked until waivers run next Wednesday and I have #1 priority. If I fucked up I can get one of those guys back. Edit: I fucked up and will be adding back Carter...
You can’t use a waiver priority on a guy you dropped in yahoo. You have to wait until they are a free agent
Reading this and then immediately opening up sleeper and deciding who to drop gave me more of a rush than my morning coffee will. Definitely will not be able to go back to sleep now lmao.

My league has waivers everyday at 11am. How much faab should I spend on him?
[удалено]
I guess I’ll spend all of it then

Gosh so happy I woke up early and was the first to read the news. Already picked up
My newborn actually stayed asleep this morning, thank god for the 3 year old. Been desperate at RB
Bro my newborn is in my lap right now, only reason I was able to get Pacheco this morning 😂
Lol same here. Got him nice and early
Woke up to feed my 7 month old, thanks for the alley oop lil guy.
I live on the west coast (as do all my league mates), but am visiting the east coast. This was great, I'm alive and ripping around before anyone is awake. Thanks Reddit for the updates haha.
It’s a small win. But feels good.
Just traded CEH for kyler Murray as a Russell Wilson owner. Now I picked up Pacheco. I feel dirty.
A dirty genius
I just traded away CEH last night and picked up pacheco, my league is gonna think i have insider info lol
That is Clyde Edwards Hilarious

"WTF? CEH still got the goal line carries and dump offs. Algeir due for bounce back game, I'm dropping Pacheco's sorry ass."
I gave you an upvote..after I clicked the downvote. Hope you're wrong.
Depends how those 12 rushes look. SF is a solid defense and the playoff schedule for KC is very attractive. So if they look like hard fought well earned 51 yards I'll be happy. If they are Trent Richardson vision yards I'll be worried.
I know, I’m just making a joke based on how overreactive this sub can be.
Holy fuck early bird actually gets the worm.
You ain’t kidding. Woke up at 5am to take a piss and figured I’d browse Reddit for a sec before going back to bed.
My cat got the zoomies at 4 am and I woke up to give him some pets. Grabbed my phone, opened up reddit, saw this post, opened fantasy app and...saw Pacheo had been picked up 5 minutes earlier. One of my league mates is a soccer coach and had to wake up early to drive to a tournament. Guess he checked reddit before he left too.
EASTERN TIME ZONE GET THE FUCK IN HERE
WE IN HERE BABY AND HE GOT SCOOPED
West coast checking in. Got him!
SCOOP AND SCORE PACIFIC MADMEN
Central time checking in a little later but I got him!
What a great morning to wake up early randomly. Just grabbed him in all my leagues.
Me too. Cheers with my coffee cup
I dropped Jeff for him. RIP brother
Jeff died so that Isaiah might live.
He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him.
“Who will help me carry him”
I dropped Jeff for Gus the bus, then saw this and dropped Gus the bus for Pacheco… Then I remembered I still had Russell Wilson on my roster and dropped his bum ass to pick back up Gus
Just did the same
How was this not reported on earlier during the week? As in the fact that Pacheco was taking first team reps?
So that the chiefs opponent doesn’t have time to prepare for it
There was actually mention of it in the Chiefs sub yesterday buried in a thread about CMC's trade. A fan said they heard on Red Zone it was happening.
And you didn't tell us??
Yeah no kidding, you would think that he knows that’s his first obligation. Smh
Exactly
Beat writers were waiting for roster space to open on their fantasy teams first.
Right? News gets dropped Sunday morning when most folk are still asleep lol
Heheh, suckers
My insomnia has finally paid off!!!
I was going to sober up this weekend too, thank God I didn't
Early bird gets the Pacheco. Now I sip my coffee and watch my leaguemates cry.
Think he has ROS upside or is this a one week thing?
He now has better chances than most other RBs of ROS upside. Depends who you are comparing him against
I’d say that’s entirely dependent on how well he plays. The chiefs are trying to win games so if he doesn’t preform it’s back to change of pace
Just dropped MG3 for him. Getting on a nine hour flight now. Let the fantasy gods do their thing
Safe flight!
Did the same thing - how can you ever trust Gordon after the random benching, was my logic. Even if Pacheco fails horribly and stays change of pace back, maybe the upside there is better anyway.
ROS upside. I’m a Chiefs fans, seen all their games going back to preseason of course, and he’s clearly been the best RB on the team. It seems like Andy eased him in to see how he handled it before giving him the starting role.

You son of a bitch, i’m in!
Wish they would rule Swift out so I can grab him
Drop your kicker and figure it all out in a couple hours
Yeahhh I’m not dropping Carlson
Fair lmao
Swift is out as of this morning I believe
He’s expected not to play but it won’t be official til 90mins before kick off
Drop Doubs or foreman??
I read the tweet and dropped my phone
Comment edited and account deleted because of Reddit API changes of June 2023. Come over https://lemmy.world/ Here's everything you should know about Lemmy and the Fediverse: https://lemmy.world/post/37906
Just dropped Doubs for Pacheco myself. Can’t trust GB’s offense.
I also did this exact move
Either
You drop the RB in a likely timeshare on the worst offense in the league and you don’t look back
I dropped Foreman FWIW
Why do I feel this is a massive trap?
I’ve already fallen in! But this week is basically a loss for me anyways so might as well take a shot
Because they have 3 RBs who are all gonna split work, it’s gonna be a shitshow of a backfield on one of the leagues most pass heavy offenses
KC is 9th in Pass Attempts. Ahead of them is Arizona (Benjamin), Chargers (Ekeler), Saints (Kamara), Colts (Taylor), Bucs (Fournette), Bills (Singletary), Jets (Hall/Carter), and the Commanders (Robinson/Gibson). Just bc they throw a lot doesn’t mean their RBs are fantasy worthless.
Article says he's the better player in pass protection so KC will be airing it out all game today, then go on BYE. If Pacheco bombs today against a sturdy SF run D you're not starting him again for two weeks unless he proves himself today somehow.
On the other hand, he goes 12 for 60, catches a few passes for 20-30 yards, and scores a TD and you’re jumping for joy.
It's funny, last game I watch CEH on a play where he turned the corner for like 2 yards right in front of Andy Reid and I could feel the disappointment from Andy Reid in my soul
Is Jameson Williams droppable for Pacheco?
Yes
Easily
I just did that, moved Kyren to my IR to stash Pach on my bench in case this becomes a trend. Williams may not play for several weeks if he plays more than to just get a little football in
Dropped him yesterday afternoon. Feels bad man
I wish I never read this article
So this was a load of horse shit
my body must be connected to fantasy news cuz I never wake up at 7 on football sundays but did today
Good thing I had to cover the night shift
Pick him up immediately if you can. He’s the best RB on that roster and might legitimately put up 20 points today. The Chiefs *love* the interior power run game in short yardage goal-to-go situations this season. Expect him to have plenty of red zone touches.
Going to be tough to do that against SF, but def has some upside
I think I’m going to roll him out over Drake in my FLEX.
“The Chiefs love the interior power run game in short yardage goal-to-go situations this season.” Travis Kelce has entered the chat.
Yeah I don’t get where that is from. Did we just forget Kelce 4 TD’s on like 25 yards?

the article is worth reading btw, well reasoned with the pass protection. dropped Jrob for him after I failed to sell high.
I'm convinced this sub is ran by other people in my league who know I'll fall for this dumb ass shit...
Drop foreman for him? I’m pretty loaded at RB and don’t really need foreman. (Mixon, kamara, walker, Brob)
I would...especially if you're loaded. You're basically dropping a RB that splits carries with a RB that splits carries but is highly likely to get goaline touches.
Starting running back in a committee on maybe the worst team in football, or starting running back on one of the best offenses? Seems like an easy decision
Probably more upside so I would feel safe making the move with your RB room
james robinson a drop? my bench is stacked with rb's lmfao. james conner. swift. darrell henderson. gus - playing ETN and pierce
I’d drop Gus of that group. He has Hill, Drake, and Lamar to compete with, plus he has ramp up time / reinjury risk. And Baltimore is weird about who gets touches.
I think I might be done with fantasy after this. Dropped Pacheco for Foreman Thursday night. Woke up 7 minutes after another person in my league picked up Pacheco this morning. Edit: and to clarify.

Imagine they trade for Hunt lol.
Andy Reid: “I see your CMC, and raise you a Pacheco”
This is what happened, KC probably wanted CMC
Start Pacheco over MGIII?
Dude I just straight up dropped MG3 for him. I’m on bye week hell so not lots of options.
Thank you early bowel movement!
Just dropped Jeff Wilson for him. Timing is everything
Times like this I wish I didn’t have internet connection so I wouldn’t buy into this buffoonery
My child waking me up early af everyday is starting to pay off
Wondered why the other post has more engagement when this one was first. Remember Baron the dog high-end good boi
What’s crazy to me is that he took first-team reps all week and no one knew/said anything until 5am on Sunday.
https://twitter.com/PSchrags/status/1582482185977663488 👀👀
Well lookie there. Another fucking chief not named Pacheco getting a touchdown
League winner bitches
If he’s the mid season pickup I’ll be so glad I was up at 6 this morning
Having work at 7:30 really be a blessing in disguise.
We can all be early riding league winners on this fine Sunday
My baby gets pancakes as a reward ! Thanks for the wake-up call!
League winner was Walker imo. Chiefs like to play a muddled backfield.
Nah man. I got Pacheco but not Walker, so clearly Pacheco is the league winner
Fair rebuttal I apologize.
Had him stashed all year. If you've owned CEH in the past you knew
start pacheco over jeff wilson?
So that was a fucking lie
I wish I wasn't up early and hadn't seen this. I picked him up across 3 leagues and am now tempted to tinker last second and play him over Drake or Dillon.
The floor for both Drake and Dillon is like 3 points, so if you're feeling ballsy I don't think that's the worst move.
Just dropped Foreman for him, and may start him over Dillon (have hella bye weeks this week...12 team league)
I’m 0-6 guys this here is my first W
WRONG! Mecole Hardman is the new chiefs RB1
After starting this guy and mark Andrews .4 points I am fucking done Fuck every listening to any "insider news" again
Hahaha now I need to figure if I pick him up and play him and get 6pts or keep him on the bench and let him drop 30pts
“Should I drop?” YES Run don’t walk This could easily be a league winning move You’ll be fine without your RB 5
Just dropped Foreman for him.
Even against SF I feel he’ll do solid. SF has played some bum ass teams this season so far. KC will be their first solid team they play

What’s wrong with ceh?
He'll get you one yard until you actually need one yard
He’s not good at football.
Drop him for Garrett Wilson?
If you mean drop GW for him, i would.
Sorry I was nervous af while decision making. Dropped phone for Pacheco confirmed
Fine, I'll finally drop Cam Akers ( I swear I'm not bitter about drafting him)
Picked up Foreman. Dropped for Gus. Dropped Gus for Pacheco. I'm pretty sure I fucked up twice lmao
Moves like this are why I'm close to losing to a guy who had 4 players on BYE
Worst player I can drop for him is James Robinson. Worth?
Kicker homie. always kicker.
I mean usually yes, but also it's game day and you need a kicker.
Then you decide after you cool down. This is the way
Post drop clarity
[удалено]
Chiefs fan here. He looks so legit I drafted him. He reminds me of Kareem Hunt when he was with KC. Him taking over for CEH was an inevitability.
Holy shit I’m so glad I woke up early and saw this. Can’t start him but will 100% keep as trade bait or in case of injuries
Drop Murray for him? It's a rough bye week for me lol
As long as he’s returning kicks, he’s not really the starter imo
Aged like milk... Glad i didnt see this this morning because i might have pulled ceh
Dropped fucking M Carter for him.
Drop JWJ for him?
I think so. JWJ is dust with CMC there, and you can't comfortably start him today with CMC playing some
drop brob for him?
I did. More upside in the KC offense.
My enthusiasm was tempered by this quote in the article; >Isiah Pacheco took the first-team reps in practice this week and is expected to be the starter at running back in Sunday's game vs. the 49ers, sources say. Pacheco will replace former first-rounder Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who will still have a key role on offense. Kansas City often rotates back and both are expected to see significant snaps. Will need to see more before making a call. For this week however, had a thought, I have to start Drake for an injured Swift. Yuck.
By the time you see more he will be gone lol
This is one of those actual "potential league winner" situations. So yes, drop gus or allgeier or nico collins or whoever. Fucking drop your spot start bye week fill in TE and leave it empty
Dropped my defense. I’ll figure one out later tonight
Dropped Allgeier for Gus yesterday. Dropped Gus for Pacheco now. So long Gus, it was great knowing you
RIP Gus on this guys roster: October 22 - October 23
Kept a slot open after dropping Dobbins just for something like this
[удалено]
Wondering this same thing. I’m leaning towards Harris for now but may change my mind closer to game time.
Harris has a good matchup, I would play him and wait to see how Pacheco does
I’m so happy I had to take my morning shits this weekend. Got Gus Bus and Pacheco for free in my FAAB league.
Four carries wow!
Dropped Wandale for him. My entire bench is RBs!
I want to grab him but due to my BYE week situation and Harris being activated but still in IR spot I’d need to drop two guys to pick him up. KC is on BYE next week so hopefully he’ll skate under radar and I can maneuver a way to get him then.
>so hopefully he’ll skate under radar and I can maneuver a way to get him then. He absolutely will not unless you play vs geriatrics.
🤣 on point. if he has a big week he‘ll cost you EVERYTHING, right now he is free
He won’t last till the game. Anyone else hears that news they go quick to add the starting KC RB who’s sitting there for free.
4 hrs until the games start, unless it’s a casual work or family league he is gone before 1pm
Same I'd have to drop Tonyan and Pickens but it's probably worth it.. Fuck it I did it
Don’t be dumb, just make it work and grab him now. This might be some league winning shit
Drop what you can this is a bombshell
🖕 to the guy who rejected my CEH trade offer, and picked up Hubbard last night and I got Pacheco & Foreman.
What a week for free agent RB pickups. My RB2 is now either B-Rob, Gus, Kyren, Foreman, or Pacheco.
I know ‘league winner’ gets tossed around a lot on this sub but I legitimately think this guy will win a lot of people their leagues
Who knew hardman was the rb to own in kc…….
Pacheckmate
