Isiah Pacheco Has a Chance of Returning in 2026

Friday, October 30, 9:37 AM

Detroit Lions running back Isiah Pacheco (back) has not played a game since signing a one-year deal in the offseason, but head coach Dan Campbell told reporters on Friday that "there's a chance" he could be back in late December. Pacheco, who ran for 462 yards in his final season with the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently on Injured Reserve after undergoing back surgery in mid-September. A late-December return would fall in line with his initially projected recovery timeline of 12-14 weeks. Signed to serve as a backup to three-time Pro Bowler Jahmyr Gibbs, Pacheco's absence has left the Lions to lean on third-year player Sione Vaki to occasionally spell Gibbs, who has handled an 89.3% running back rush share on the way to his current RB1 standing.

Rachaad White A Low-End RB2 in Week 10 Against Giants

Wednesday, November 11, 1:26 PM

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White had a quiet outing in Week 9's loss to the Rams, handling seven carries for 28 yards and adding two catches (three targets) for 41 yards. White was surprisingly outtouched by Austin Ekeler 10 to nine in this game, though Ekeler was much less productive with only 34 yards to White's 69. Washington's rushing attack is rated near the bottom of the league by most numbers this season, with a struggling offensive line that ranks 32nd in ESPN's run block win rate metric. White hasn't exceeded 11 carries in a game this season and should handle 10-12 touches overall on Thursday against the division-leading Giants. It could be another down game for White as the Giants defense has been stingy of late, ranking fourth in rushing success rate (38.2%) and allowing the sixth-fewest PPR points per game to running backs over the last four weeks. White ranks as RotoBaller's RB21 in PPR leagues for Week 10.
