Cheap value with clear RB2 role; better offense than Kansas City.
Isiah PachecoRBDET
Hartitz drafted Pacheco cheaply early in the offseason and is encouraged by his clear-cut RB2 role in Detroit with minimal backup competition (Sion Vakai, Jacob Sailors, Jabari Small have only 10 combined regular season touches). Despite being one of the worst running backs by efficiency metrics in Kansas City, Pacheco still produced upside RB2 fantasy output due to the Chiefs' offensive environment. Hartitz projects similar or better production in Detroit's superior offense if Pacheco secures the RB2 role, with high-end upside as a 'middle class man's David Montgomery' who could score enough touchdowns to generate RB2 production with handcuff upside.
