Isiah Pacheco Remains Absent On Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (toe/ankle) is missing his second consecutive practice on Thursday due to toe and ankle injuries. The 24-year-old has had a successful start to this year's postseason, producing 186 yards and two touchdowns on 39 carries. He's racked up plenty of bumps and bruises this year, but it's unclear whether or not he's at risk of missing the AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens surrendered the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs during the regular season, so it could be tough sledding for the Rutgers product if he plays. If he cannot suit up, Clyde Edwards-Helaire will likely operate as a bell cow back with limited options available for Kansas City. DFS gamers should monitor Pacheco's practice status and game designation on Friday.
