Pacheco lands with the Lions as the change-of-pace back and handcuff for Jahmyr Gibbs. Despite health issues over the last three years, in a complementary/goal-line role he could pay dividends for Detroit. If he recaptures any resemblance to his 2023 form—when he posted a 5.4% explosive run rate and 2.77 yards after contact per attempt—he should pay off for the Lions in 2026. If Gibbs misses time, Pacheco would likely be an RB2 option for fantasy gamers.
