Isaiah Pacheco is criminally overlooked as a handcuff with significant upside. While he lacks standalone value, he is positioned to take over as the lead back in a high-scoring offense if Jahmyr Gibbs were to miss time. He has RB3/flex appeal and should be rostered, with projections suggesting he could reach eight rushing touchdowns, mirroring the role David Montgomery held in Detroit.PositiveRoleAug 3, 2026
