Week 11 May Be Tough Sledding For Isiah Pacheco

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco is trending down at the wrong time ahead of a rigid Week 11 matchup and Super Bowl LVII rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles. Between Weeks 3-7, Pacheco steadily collected RB14 finishes or better in full-PPR formats during each time out. Despite playing a season-high 68.4% of K.C.'s offensive snaps with the Chiefs nursing a lead in the defensive-centered Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins, Pacheco perplexingly recorded his weakest PPR fantasy output of the campaign. Things won't get any easier for the Rutgers product against Philly, whose formidable front seven sports the NFL's best run defense in respect to average fantasy points allowed (14.18). While Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire remain footnotes, Pacheco's featured role as the lead back in a Patrick Mahomes-led offense keeps him in play as a midrange RB2 despite facing the worst conceivable on-paper setup.
