Watching a FF podcast where a non-chiefs fan suggested Pachecco might be a bust for the FF season.
Current sentiment is that Pachecco killed the second half of the season and playoffs last season, and that he'll see more touches and 3rd down responsibilities now that McKinnon is gone.
In the video they argue that the Chiefs RB room is weak after Pachecco, that there's nothing stopping us from making another acquisition for a 3rd down back to support our run game.

I wonder what Wallcrawler thinks about this..

You're REALLY going to bitch about someone pointing out the hilariously awful personnel choice, and then not freaking out, but simply saying, hey, give it to the right guy here, and we're in? That's what you consider NEGATIVE?
Honestly, just fist yourself. You're obviously ****ed in half upstairs beyond reason, and your fingertip grip on reality has failed, plunging you into an abyss of irreversible stupidity if you think calling for Pacheco to run the football instead of Clyde is a negative.
It's not a negative, it's just simple common ****ing sense.
If shit could shit, it still wouldn't be as shitty as Clyde runs the football. That's fact. Call it whatever you want and I'm sure you, and reeruns like Rasputin who called Clyde " The next Priest Holmes" are rabidly smashing that thumbs down over it, but it changes nothing.
Clyde should NEVER run the football if ANYONE else is conscious and can take a handoff.

I agree. I think CEH gets a bad rap bc we drafted him in the first, but he's a solid and serviceable 2nd back. Although, I'd say he's nothing to be excited about. [Reply]

It's fantasy football.
They're saying per his current draft position he's overrated, which is higher this year bc he played well end of last season and is expected to get 3rd down touches. They're saying "bust" bc he might not get as many points as other 2nd round FF prospects in the same range. They're suggesting this might be the case bc he's never had 3rd down responsibilities in KC and its only assumed that he will, currently. They wonder if there's a 3rd down back on our roster, or that we might add to our roster, that would diminish Pachecco's return as a Fantasy Football pick. [Reply]
The fact that didn’t make more of an effort to improve the #2 spot would lead me to believe they are going to give more responsibility to Pacheco as far as 3rd downs and pass catching. They need to go all in and use him like Kareem Hunt, I think he’s ready for it, and I think they are going to unleash him this season. [Reply]
