Isiah Pacheco to a one-year deal. Before hitting IR with a back injury, the 27-year-old was set for a complementary role in a high-powered offense that is expected to reside near the top of the board in Off DVOA. The contingent upside was looking very real before the injury — if anything were to happen to Jahmyr Gibbs, Pacheco would inherit a lucrative role.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Pacheco's IR status makes him a cheap Gibbs handcuff in a top-tier offense.

Lions RB signed to one-year deal after Montgomery trade; positioned as contingency back in high-powered offense expected near top of league in Off DVOA; currently on IR with back injury requiring at least four weeks recovery, making him dirt cheap in drafts and ideal IR stash; would inherit lucrative RB1 role if Jahmyr Gibbs gets injured with no other backfield competition; needs to improve from 2025 when he ranked below league average in Yards Over Expected per Attempt and averaged just 5.3 receiving yards per game.
