Pacheco

•

Pacheco’s biggest strength is his ability to make the most out of poor blocking, averaging 3.5 yards per carry on non-perfectly blocked plays during his career. However, he’s been below-average when the blocking has gone his way, averaging just 6.8 yards per carry.

•

The Chiefs only averaged 22 and 23 points per game, respectively, over the last two seasons, but in most previous seasons, they averaged around 30 points per game. If the Chiefs' wide receiver room lives up to expectations, the offense should be scoring more points, leading to more rushing touchdown opportunities.

•

The Chiefs added free agent Elijah Mitchell, who missed all of 2023. He is similar to Pacheco in that they both have been two-down backs, posting PFF rushing grades in the low-80.0s over the last three seasons. While it’s less likely Mitchell can return to the same player he was once compared to Pacheco, Mitchell may be the best back in Kansas City if everyone returns to 100%.
