Isiah Pacheco News
Friday, September 11, 5:10 AM
Detroit Lions running back Isiah Pacheco (knee/back) will enter the 2026 season on injured reserve. After a sprained MCL in early August, Pacheco dealt with a back injury that head coach Dan Campbell said was more concerning than the knee. With the former Chiefs' back set to miss at least the first four games of the season, fantasy managers in 10- or 12-team leagues should consider dropping him. He had 118 carries for 462 yards and one touchdown last season, averaging six half-PPR fantasy points per game. Once healthy, Pacheco will compete for a backup role behind star running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Even if he suffers an injury, a committee with Sione Vaki or Jacob Saylors, or a free-agency move by the Lions, would be considered as well. There are more high-upside running backs on the waiver wire, and the injuries have set him back.

Jacardia Wright News
Saturday, August 29, 5:54 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back Jacardia Wright led the team in rushing in the preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. Wright recorded 33 rushing yards on 15 carries, and he added one reception for 11 yards. Wright's presence in the game suggests that he is relatively low on the depth chart. Seattle did not even really play its No. 2 offense on Friday. Wright is not currently listed in the top four on the depth chart, suggesting that he is a cut candidate for the team. However, Wright was effective in preseason Week 2 with 81 rushing yards on eight carries. He is likely competing with Emanuel Wilson for a roster spot. Should Wright make the team, he could be a name to watch as the Seahawks sort out their running back hierarchy before Zach Charbonnet (knee) returns.
