0:00.0 | The fantasy playoffs are here and in this video we'll be talking about the five players who are skyrocketing up the rest of season rankings as the playoffs |
0:07.0 | Which means these guys are league winners. They are going to be the guys you need on your team for the fantasy playoffs. |
0:11.7 | And we can start with the Chiefs running back. Their RB1 and yes, it is their RB1 Isaiah Pacheco who returned on Black Friday from his injury and we had a couple of reports come out about |
0:20.8 | the usage to expect for Pacheco. |
0:22.5 | The first one, and the biggest one that got a lot of people excited was Isaiah Pacheco |
0:26.2 | off of this ankle, femur, leg injury, whatever was, is a full go and he has no limitations |
0:30.2 | for Friday. |
0:30.8 | Now, I saw this and I started putting out there a little bit on social media that no limitations |
0:34.8 | means that they believe he's healthy, but that doesn't mean that Andy Reed is just going to give him 20 touches. I think he's still going to be eased in to avoid maybe |
0:41.1 | injuring another part of his body. Because sure, practice is one thing getting ramped up for a couple |
0:44.9 | of weeks, but going full on in a game, you don't want to tweak a hamstring, a knee strain, |
0:48.4 | something like that. And for the most part, that's what we got out as Isaiah Pacheco here. Like, sure, he was a full goal maybe health-wise and based on |
0:54.4 | practices, but they only played him 33% of the snaps. That's obviously not a full go, his normal |
0:58.8 | role of at least 60 to 70% of the snaps. He saw about 47% of the rush attempts, which is about |
1:03.8 | in line half the rush attempts of what I expected. So we got a limited Isaiah Pacheco in his first game. I think moving forward, it only gets improved from here. Now, in this game, Pacheco honestly looked fine. He had seven carries for 44 yards |
1:15.0 | on his carries. For the most part, he was bottled up. He had one big run we'll touch on in a second, |
1:18.7 | but he averaged 6.3 yards per touch. He added a 5 yards reception here as well. If you look at this in general, his 6 to 6.3 yards per touch was more than Kareem Hunt had an all but one game this year. |
1:29.8 | In 8 out of 9 Kreme Hunt games, he was below that metric because Hunt just isn't that efficient. |
1:33.8 | At least in this stage of his career. |
1:35.3 | And obviously with Pacheco returning, Hunt saw a step down in his usage. |
1:38.7 | He's somebody that I believe you could probably drop in most fantasy leagues, especially with six teams on by in week 14 and the fantasy playoffs coming up. You're never going to start this guy. 40% of the snaps saw less than 50% |
1:48.3 | of the rush attempts. This was his worst usage since he took over the backfield, which makes |
