RB Isiah Pacheco led a three-man committee backfield in Friday night's loss to the Chargers. Here's how the work was split:
There were relatively defined roles for all three backs. Pacheco played the majority of the early downs, Hunt handled most third downs and short-yardage situations, and Smith was used almost exclusively on called pass plays.
Three-man committees are rarely fruitful in fantasy football. Smith's role was minimal in the opener, but it's notable that the seventh-round rookie played at all. His role, particularly in the passing game, could certainly grow going forward.
Pacheco remains the top back in Kansas City. He looked spry on his limited touches against the Chargers, taking his five carries for 25 yards.
But it'll be tough for him to crack the top-20 RBs in fantasy points on just half of the offensive snaps. We'll continue to keep tabs on this backfield going forward, but consider Pacheco a fringe RB2/3 for now.
Neither Hunt nor Smith have standalone value.
