Who Should I Start? Isiah Pacheco or Blake Corum

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) is expected to return in Week 11, following the team's bye, according to head coach Andy Reid (via CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson). Pacheco has already been ruled out for Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills, and he'll use the bye week as a little extra time to rest and recover. In the meantime, Kansas City's backfield will be led by Kareem Hunt, while rookie Brashard Smith also figures to get involved. Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Elijah Mitchell round out the running back depth chart. Pacheco should rank as a high-end RB3/flex against the Broncos when he returns.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum could be headed for reduced volume during Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Corum, the Rams' backup to Kyren Williams, has been heavily involved over the last two weeks, touching the ball 26 times, but his increased workload was likely a direct product of the Rams taking large leads over the Jaguars and Saints. They're expected to play a much closer game against the Niners, leaving fewer opportunities for depth players like Corum to touch the ball. In fact, when the Rams and 49ers last played against each other in Week 5, Corum had just one touch on a season-low nine percent snap share. His recent efficiency (4.46 YPC last week) should earn him more than one touch this time around, but his double-digit touch totals from the last two weeks might be out of reach. He should continue to be left on fantasy benches as a mere handcuff behind Williams.
