Should fantasy football managers add Samaje Perine or Carson Steele on the waiver wire following Isiah Pacheco's injury.
Fantasy football managers who drafted Isiah Pacheco got some disastrous news this morning when it was revealed that Chiefs starting running back suffered a fractured fibula during Kansas City's Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.he'll be "out for weeks" and "likely placed on injured reserve," which means he would miss a minimum of four games.
The seemingly obvious answer is Perine. He was the primary backup for Joe Mixon for many years in Cincinnati and totaled 238 rushing yards and 455 receiving yards for the Broncos last season. He's an eighth-year vet too versus Steele, who is a rookie. This is setting up as a dual-back situation where each player has specific plays designed for them in the game plan. My expectation is Perine will be used in most passing situations and Steele will be the primary short-yardage back. We could also see a situation where they alternate the first few series and the Chiefs ride the hot hand from there.
