These are the most overlooked winners for fantasy football from this year's NFL draft.

0:04.2

And we're going to start in Kansas City with Isaiah Pacheco.

0:06.4

Look, there's a lot of guys who are obvious winners, and we talked about that in the 10

0:09.3

biggest winners video, but some of these guys like Pacheco are going massively overlooked,

0:13.3

and here's why.

0:13.9

A lot of the talk in Kansas City right now is around the Rashi Rice potential suspension

0:17.2

and the wide receiver in the first round, Xavier worthy, that they drafted. So it's sort of keeping it under wraps that Pacheco benefited greatly from this draft. I mean, you look at the draft

0:24.6

right here and there's no running backs taken. The chiefs had seven picks in this one. They don't

0:28.7

draft the running back. Instead, they end up taking three different offensive linemen. So that's

0:32.5

going to help the running game. A second round tackle. They get a later round in the fifth round, probably a steal out of

0:37.5

Penn State in a center. So there's no fresh blood to compete with Isaiah Pacheco. And if anything,

0:42.0

his situation has gotten better since last year because Jerrick McKinnon, as of right now,

0:45.5

is not with the team. His exact competition you can see right here. Clyderbird Tulare is

0:49.0

actually with the team. He's not going to be pictured here. But there's Clydehbert-Hilar, and then after that, it's like Le Michael P. Ryan, who they signed last year. Hassan Hall is who's going to be like an

0:56.1

undrafted rookie, I believe, that they take it in the past year. So point being, no competition.

1:00.9

Clydebrich-Bertrater has not been able to threaten him, neither of these other backs in past

1:04.1

years. And we saw what happened last year when he didn't have any competition. And now he has even less without Jerich McKinnon there. You can see right here between his carries 14.6 per game and targets three and a half per game. He was averaging over 18

1:14.7

opportunities per game and his opportunity share. That's his targets and his overall carries

1:19.4

in this backfield ranked eighth in the entire league. He had the eighth best opportunity share.

1:24.0

And Pacheco saw his receptions increase from 13 in his rookie year to 44 last season.

1:28.5

And no one on the roster is currently a threat to take away those receptions out of the backfield,

1:32.1

especially without Jerich McKinnon there, so you can expect even more production this season.
