Who Should I Start? Isiah Pacheco or Zamir White

Saturday, October 11, 12:44 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will face off against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Pacheco handled seven carries for 36 yards and caught three passes for 20 yards in their Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pacheco once again split carries with Kareem Hunt, and the latter found the endzone twice last week. Rostering Pacheco has been a frustrating task for fantasy managers, even though he's averaged at least 5.0 yards per carry in three games this season. Despite his efficiency, Kansas City has still preferred Hunt in goal-line situations. It won't be easy to trust Pacheco again this week against the Lions, who are the highest-scoring team in the league. The Chiefs have the highest neutral pass rate in the league, and that trend should continue, given their game has a 52.5 O/U, the highest of the week. Pacheco is ranked RB41 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option despite his efficiency on limited touches.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Chicago Bears. White had operated as the direct backup to Ashton Jeanty for each of the first three weeks of the season, but it appears that he has fallen to fourth on the depth chart for the time being. Dylan Laube and Raheem Mostert will be active as depth options behind Jeanty.
