Elijah Mitchell Works Ahead of Kareem Hunt on Friday

Saturday, July 26, 8:30 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco, not surprisingly, got the first running-back touches during the rush period in Friday's practice. While that doesn't come as a surprise, Elijah Mitchell worked as the No. 2 back ahead of Kareem Hunt, rookie Brashard Smith, and Carson Steele. While it's still early, it serves as a bit of a surprise to see Mitchell working ahead of Kareem Hunt, who led the team's backfield while Pacheco was injured in 2024. A lot can change over the next month or so, but Mitchell would hold a significant amount of fantasy value as a handcuff if he breaks camp as Pacheco's main backup. Stay tuned.

Tank Bigsby News

Tank Bigsby Will be Heavily Involved in Offense

Sunday, July 27, 11:52 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer Demetrius Harvey says that running back Tank Bigsby has been getting a lot of work lately in training camp, and it's becoming more clear that he's someone that is "going to be heavily involved in the offense." RotoBaller has Bigsby currently ranked as the No. 50 RB going into the 2025 season, but he's probably going to rise up draft boards the closer we get to the regular season if he continues to be heavily involved during camp and the preseason. The 23-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Auburn took a big step forward in his second season in 2024 with 168 carries for 766 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns in 16 games (one start) while catching seven passes for 54 yards. Travis Etienne Jr. is still in the fold, though, and Bigsby has caught just eight passes in his first few seasons. Getting more work in the passing attack is the next step for Bigsby.
