Overall
Signed a one-year, $1.81 million contract with the Lions in March of 2026.
Being signed by Lions
Pacheco has agreed to terms on a contract with Detroit, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Pacheco fits into the Lions' backfield alongside superstar running back Jahmyr Gibbs, replacing David Montgomery. In his first two seasons with Kansas City, Pacheco averaged 4.7 YPC and scored 12 rushing TDs in 31 regular-season game as a bruising between-the-tackles runner. In part due to injuries, however, the 2022 seventh-round pick has now logged back-to-back seasons with less than 500 rushing yards and under 4.0 YPC, with only two rushing scores in 20 regular-season contests. Pacheco could rebound in Detroit with opposing defenses honing in on Gibbs, but he may not see the same touch volume that Montgomery did.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
The Chiefs are careful to consistently invest in their offensive line, allowing them to provide consistently good blocking and a favorable setup for whoever is playing running back. Even so, Pacheco has proven a uniquely good fit for the Chiefs offense since they stole him out of Rutgers in the seventh round of the 2022 Draft. His 4.37 speed makes him a home-run threat, and his violent, high-motor running presents a challenging power component to defenses that are already spread thin by QB Patrick Mahomes. Pacheco's violent running does come with long-term durability concerns, especially wear-and-tear ailments like the shoulder trouble he played through in 2023, though injuries have cost him only two games through two seasons. He can handle every running back task and improved his passing-down work last year, eventually taking at least 70 percent of snaps in each of Kansas City's four playoff contests. His workloads typically haven't been that large during the regular season, but it's not out of the question for 2024 after the Chiefs settled for bringing back Clyde Edwards-Helaire in free agency and then added Samaje Perine shortly before the start of the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Aiming for Thanksgiving return
Pacheco is hoping to return to the lineup in Week 13 against the Cowboys, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Kansas City running back has been out since Week 8 with a knee issue. If Pacheco is able to return for a Thanksgiving trip to Dallas, however, he'd likely still be working behind Kareem Hunt. Hunt has gotten into the end zone in four straight games while amassing 247 scrimmage yards during Pacheco's three-game absence.
