Good article, thanks! One thing I’d comment is the Chiefs are not a 3 headed monster yet in my opinion. Pacheco had 2 touches before the last two drives when the game was over. It was CEH and McKinnon. Now, Pacheco did produce when given the chance, so maybe that changes going forward. But for at least week one, he wasn’t really involved when the game mattered.
Exactly. Pacheco played most of the 2nd half of this game, when the outcome was decided. With a Thursday game coming, this was a smart move by KC. CEH should be fresh and will receive a much higher percentage of snaps than vs. Arizona
Not to pile on, but I have to agree with the above comments. I’m not a huge CEH truther but am a KC fan (wasn’t really excited about the CEH pick when they made it to be honest) but watching the game it looked like CEH is the back to have. This game was over in a hurry, and I didn’t get the sense there was much of a true timeshare. I went back and looked at the snaps/plays, and CEH handled 35% of the actual touches of all players for the Chiefs on the 1st 3 drives. He had his 10 touches (11 if you count his recovery of PM’s fumble) by the end of the 3rd quarter, at which time McKinnon had 6 touches (4 on 1 hurry up drive) and Pacheco had 2 touches. CEH didn’t see the field in the 4th quarter while Pacheco wracked up his totals. CEH is only 23 years old, even with a supposedly stacked incoming class, I’m not sure that selling him for a couple of future 2nds isn’t going to be a losing proposition.
Great article thanks. I’m thinking it’s time to sell high on Darrell Henderson before Akers comes back into things?
I have Akers and I’m worried he isn’t coming back
Interesting thanks. Don’t think I’d get that at the moment so will hold until someone gets desperate. Hope you have a good week 2.
On Clyde– I’m not sure resting your lead back in a blow out before a Thursday night game is indicative of much. He’s been injury plagued, but I’d pay two 2nds everyday of the week! Did I mention he’s 13 months younger than Najee Harris?
Would you trade two late 23 1st and one late 23 2nd for Michael Carter, Breece Hall, early 23 3rd and mid 23 3rd?
I am the champion from year before and have JT, JK, Sanders, Monty, Patterson, and James Cook as my rbs right now
I have plenty of young wrs as well.
Plus. Lamar, Herbs, Z Wilson, and D Jones at Qb.
