Isiah Pacheco News
Friday, April 17, 12:37 PM
Veteran running back Isiah Pacheco had a disastrous year in his final season with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025. Across 13 games, the 27-year-old recorded 563 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 137 touches. Pacheco signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions in free agency, where he will serve as the RB2 behind star Lions back Jahmyr Gibbs. Pacheco's star has fallen quite a bit in recent seasons, as he's failed to average four yards per carry since 2023 and has missed 14 games over the past two years due to injury. Still, Detroit is a solid landing spot for his fantasy value. Former Lions back David Montgomery scored 20 touchdowns over the past two seasons in a role similar to the one Pacheco will likely fill in 2026. Additionally, any injury to Gibbs would immediately vault Pacheco into the RB1 role in Detroit. In dynasty formats, Pacheco could be a decent buy-low target for fantasy managers.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. News
Thursday, April 9, 6:01 AM
Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. began and finished the 2025 season as New York's primary ball carrier, but from Weeks 2 through 7, it was a healthy Cam Skattebo that dominated touches, both on the ground and in the passing game. The Giants bring in an entirely new coaching staff for 2026, so there is no clear blueprint for the division of labor between Tracy, Skattebo, and Devin Singletary, who also returns after handling 138 opportunities of his own last season. Furthermore, New York has been tied to Notre Dame prospect Jeremiyah Love with the fifth pick in the NFL Draft, though more pressing needs on defense could force them to pass even if he falls to them. Regardless of how the backfield situation plays out, Tracy profiles as a committee back with occasional flex value who can handle a large volume in an insurance role, as evidenced by his 19+ opportunities per game over the final nine weeks of the 2025 season.
