FinishTheDrill Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Seems everyone I talk to lately is saying that CEH is a sell while you can. I dont have him, so its not a question of what should I do. More jsut curious, I dont hear much about the once discussed Pacheco "taking over". That leaves McKinnon. Is he quietly going to take over the backfield, or will it be an ugly split? Are people just down on CEH since he let so many people down in the past? Curious.

League_Champion Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The fantasy points are there but the volume isn't. It's definitely concerning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The murmuring is based on snap count, but CEH is still getting the quality carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 McKinnon had 7 carries for 20 yards. He's not taking anything over. As long as Andy Reid is there it will always be a running back by committee, he makes no bones about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tear your hair out figuring out the splits every week with Reid. He makes owning a chiefs rb unpleasant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League_Champion Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I think McKinnon had negative points. Pacheco had 11 carries, 0 receptions but that doesn't bode well for McKinnon. CEH was clearly the #1 and Pacheco 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I didn't even notice McKinnon in the game much, turns out he was out there for one more play than Pacheco, but only had 3 touches (2 rush and one rec) for a net 0 yards. I think Pacheco is rising past him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 McKinnon won't be the main guy ever unless an injury happens. Clyde is still the 1 but Pacheco is moving up fast. But as with anything Andy Reid, I wouldn't trust any of these guys on a regular basis other than Clyde. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly more than that and has produced. Loved seeing him get the rock at the end when everyone knew they were running. That answers the OP's question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all CEH for now with more and more Pacheco likely coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 McKinnon has always been more of the 3rd down guy who spells CEH more than just a backup would. But since the WRs have been so meh, it stands to reason that Reid will want to get playmakers on the field to make plays. And guys like MVS and Hardman aren't really playmakers, so that means the rookies (Pacheco and Moore) may see more opportunities. Outside of Mahomes and Kelce, who are a lock for fantasy lineups, CEH is the only other Chief that should be in lineups. You can worry yourself about snap counts and touches, but the guy is delivering (even against a stout TB defense) so you ride him while you can (or trade him if you think you can get good value).

darin3 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 CEH only got 2 less carries than Pacheco, interestingly enough. Still definitely something to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I think the most important thing here isn't who is starting or even who gets the bulk of the workload. It's the fact that all 4 of their backs combined for only 16 carries, 87 yds & 2 receptions on only 4 targets for 36 yds. Even if you combined them all, the only thing they did worthwhile is score 1 touchdown making them (combined) a fairly average player. Whoever is starting could be a nice RB3 or spot fill-in, but I wouldn't want to guess who it is that's starting and you may well be kicking yourself like this week when you see the other backs getting more points. I really like Pacheco once he's really given a shot at taking the bulk of the touches, but who knows when that will ever be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actively trying to trade CEH. Just not a backfield I want any part of given the way Mahomes is just spreading the ball around to his WR/TE group.

This is kinda funny because earlier in the season I was trying to get the CEH/Brian Robinson owner to trade me CEH for Antonio Gibson (I have Pacheco) straight up and he turned me down. Now though, I'm more happy I didn't make that trade. Edited October 25, 2022 by rajncajn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
