The two-time reigning champions have ridden their defense this season (and in 2023, for the most part), with the\u00a0<strong>Steve Spagnuolo<\/strong>-led group providing Kansas City\u2019s offense a sturdy safety net.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs have gone about strengthening a receiving corps that has been lacking since the\u00a0<strong>Tyreek Hill<\/strong>\u00a0trade, acquiring\u00a0<strong>DeAndre Hopkins<\/strong>, and they are still believed to be\u00a0looking around for more help before the deadline.\u00a0<strong>Andy Reid<\/strong>\u2018s team is also expected to have its top running back ready before month\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>Reid has praised\u00a0Isiah Pacheco\u2018s recovery from a broken fibula, and\u00a0NFL.com\u2019s Ian Rapoport indicates\u00a0the Chiefs are expecting their top back to be ready to return in late November. This would actually be on the conservative end, as Pacheco\u2019s mid-September surgery\u00a0brought a six- to eight-week timetable. The Chiefs have been able to get by with\u00a0<strong>Kareem Hunt<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Samaje Perine<\/strong>\u00a0as their top options, but unlike\u00a0<strong>Rashee Rice<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Marquise Brown<\/strong>, Pacheco will be a piece they are expected to have back during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>A 2022 seventh-round pick, Pacheco usurped former first-rounder\u00a0<strong>Clyde Edwards-Helaire<\/strong>\u00a0as Kansas City\u2019s starter before his rookie season concluded, and the Rutgers alum has been the team\u2019s starter since. He played 17 games as a rookie and 14 last season, playing in each Kansas City playoff contest during that span as well.<\/p>\n<p>While the Chiefs moved on from\u00a0<strong>Jerick McKinnon<\/strong>\u00a0as their primary pass-catching back, Perine is in place thanks to an agreement shortly after his Broncos release. Hunt has also proven capable, despite not being on the level he was before his 2018 release. Hunt has surpassed 20 carries in each of the past three games, reaching 102 yards during a win against the Saints in that span. Hunt should be expected to retain a role once Pacheco is back, but the third-year player should also be penciled in as the Chiefs\u2019 starter once he ramps back up from the injury he suffered in Week 2. Known as a hard-charging rusher \u2014 and one with rather unusual running form \u2014 Pacheco has 830- and 935-yard rushing seasons on his NFL resume. He also accumulated 313 rushing yards during the playoffs last season.<\/p>\n<p>With the Chargers exiting Week 9 with three losses, the Chiefs have some breathing room in their division and within the conference. That should allow for caution with Pacheco, who is signed through the 2025 season. But Kansas City should have its preferred RB1 back in the fold as it attempts to secure home-field advantage in the AFC for the fourth time in the\u00a0<strong>Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>\u00a0era.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chiefs\u2019 Isiah Pacheco Targeting Return By Late November<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7144,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
