2026 Outlook

Now in Detroit, Pacheco emerges as one of the premier backup RBs generating buzz for 2026. Part of what appears to be a historically deep backup RB class, Pacheco is ranked among the top backup assets and could be a weekly starter in high-upside leagues if the Lions' primary back gets injured (per Brian Robinson Jr. could become one of fantasy football's biggest RB steals in 2026).
