Who Should I Start? Cordarrelle Patterson or Isiah Pacheco

Thursday, November 9, 9:57 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson sat out of Wednesday's practice due to rest, not the ankle injury he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Patterson left briefly on Sunday to tend to the ailment but returned to finish the game as the RB3 for the Falcons. The 32-year-old joined some other Atlanta veterans on their rest day. Patterson won't have that big of a role on offense against Arizona on Sunday as long as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier remain healthy.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco achieved his first career two-touchdown game on the ground in Week 12's 31-17 win over the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, accumulating 15 carries for 55 yards with five receptions for 34 additional yards. After change-of-pace back Clyde Edwards-Helaire failed to punch it in on a few goal-line carries, Pacheco was summoned to crash his way into the end zone in the second quarter. It appeared Pacheco took a Patrick Mahomes pass for a 14-yard house call during the third period, but he was ruled short of the goal-line, only to cash in another short TD plunge on the ensuing play. Pacheco's receiving numbers were also relieving to see, as the second-year grinding tailback was sitting on negative yardage in this department over his last three displays combined. Pacheco will find himself right back on the RB2 map in a Week 13 road matchup that sees the Chiefs square off with the Green Bay Packers.
