Isiah Pacheco News
Friday, March 27, 4:49 PM
Running back Isiah Pacheco signed a one-year, $1.81 million contract with the Detroit Lions in free agency this year after winning two Super Bowls in his first four NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. The 27-year-old former seventh-round selection in the 2022 NFL draft out of Rutgers looked like a potential star in the NFL in his first two years in the league, averaging 4.7 yards per carry for 1,765 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns in 31 games (24 starts) in 2022 and 2023. He added 57 receptions on 63 targets for 374 yards and two additional touchdowns. The last two years, unfortunately, were injury-riddled disappointments, as he averaged 3.8 yards per tote for 772 yards and only two rushing TD in 20 games (18 starts), adding 31 catches for 180 yards and another receiving TD. In Detroit, he'll essentially replace David Montgomery as the RB2 behind do-it-all lead back Jahmyr Gibbs. There's some bounce-back potential if Pacheco is healthy, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect the kind of volume that Montgomery had with the Lions, especially not near the goal line.

Cam Skattebo News
Monday, March 30, 4:32 PM
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) was seen at Arizona's pro day last Friday, and he looked ready to go for the start of organized team activities next week, according to general manager Joe Schoen. "[He was] jogging around, running, jumping on ex-teammates' backs and stuff like that. I said, Will you stop?" Schoen said. "But he's declaring himself he's ready to go. So it'll be good to see him next week as well. We'll ease him back. Obviously, we don't play until September, but he's in good headspace, physically as well." The Giants aren't going to rush the 24-year-old back after having season-ending surgery to fix a dislocated ankle, but all signs point to him being a full-go for training camp and for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September. Durability could be an issue for the battering ram of an RB, but the former fourth-rounder has RB1 fantasy upside in what looks like it could be an explosive offense going forward under dual-threat QB Jaxon Dart. Skattebo had 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries in eight games in 2025, adding 24 catches for 207 yards and two more scores as a receiver.
