Isiah Pacheco, the Kansas City Chiefs' running back, is on track to return from injured reserve by late November after recovering from a fractured fibula. He has spent the required four games on IR and is expected to resume practicing in 2-3 weeks. His absence has allowed Kareem Hunt to take on a larger role in the Chiefs' backfield. Pacheco was also a top-15 pick in a recent ESPN mock draft, indicating his value in fantasy football despite his injury.
