Who Should I Start? Isiah Pacheco or Bijan Robinson

The Kansas City Chiefs are saying that running back Isiah Pacheco (leg) will practice with the team on Wednesday. "We'll just have to see... day-by-day type thing," head coach Andy Reid said. Pacheco remains on Injured Reserve due to a fractured fibula and missed his eighth straight game in the team's first loss of the season to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11, but he was limited in practice all of last week and is eyeing his return in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers. However, it's still uncertain as to whether the 25-year-old will actually return this weekend, and if he does, he'll be much more volatile as a must-start option in fantasy lineups. Kareem Hunt has been a must-start RB for fantasy managers in Pacheco's absence, but he's expected to lose most of his appeal the rest of the season once Pacheco returns as KC's lead back.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson fell victim to game script and an overall ineffectiveness on offense in Sunday's 38-6 road loss to the Broncos. The score was 21-6 at halftime and the Falcons were in catch-up mode, but with the score 38-6 after a Broncos TD early in the fourth quarter, the Falcons waived the white flag and backup Jase McClellan relieved Robinson for the rest of the game. The former first-round draft pick finished with 35 yards on 12 carries while adding four catches for 28 yards. Atlanta's only points came on two field goals, so none of the Falcon offensive weapons were able to find the end zone. The good news is that backup Tyler Allgeier did not eat into Robinson's workload at all, having not recorded a single carry in the contest, and the 22-year-old remained involved in the passing game, catching at least three passes for the eighth consecutive contest and the 10th time in 11 games. He'll look to rebound after the bye when the Falcons take on the Chargers at home in Week 13, although that will be a difficult task. The Chargers have allowed just one 100-yard rusher and only three rushing TDs all season.
