The designation to return is much anticipated for managers who lost Isiah Pacheco earlier in the season, and a reminder to Kareem Hunt managers that they can’t cling to their upstart RB1 forever. Hunt has played admirably in the wake of Pacheco’s injury, monopolizing touches in the Kansas City backfield and relying on heaps of opportunity to make ends meet despite predictable inefficiency. It’s important to note that although Pacheco has been designated to return, it’s not an activation as of yet to the active roster – meaning there’s a chance that Pacheco will miss another game or two as he ramps back up to speed. That has the potential to give Kareem Hunt managers a unique selling window, or at the very least, another week or two of short-term RB1 production. Once Pacheco returns, it’s hard to imagine Kareem Hunt holding onto any useful role in the Chiefs’ backfield besides as a high-upside handcuff with a pinch of standalone value. At the end of the day, we don’t know what designs Andy Reid has for the backfield once Pacheco returns, but if both are healthy, Pacheco is the best bet to get the first crack at the money touches and work in the receiving game. Until Pacheco’s return, though, Hunt managers can ride the wave until it crashes. Pay attention to practice reports later today and the rest of the week to get a better idea of the way Pacheco is trending.
