Outlook Isiah Pacheco
Isiah Pacheco Sidelined Following Early-Season Back Surgery
Pacheco remains on injured reserve after undergoing surgery earlier in the season to address a nerve issue in his back. Listed behind Jahmyr Gibbs on Detroit's depth chart, he faces an extended absence with any potential return projected for late in the year. Fantasy managers should check back often for updates on his recovery timeline.
With Pacheco ruled out, our weekly projections slate him for zero points. His roster rate has dropped to 21% amid his absence, but he remains an appealing stash in leagues with open injured reserve slots. Having logged multiple 800-yard rushing seasons earlier in his career, he could carve out committee value once cleared.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt at San Francisco — Groin injury clouds road matchup against undefeated 49ers
Croskey-Merritt enters the weekend listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice with a groin issue, putting his availability in jeopardy against the undefeated 49ers. Even if cleared, he shares Washington's backfield work with Rachaad White. Fantasy managers must check back often before kickoff for the latest news on his game-day status.
Our projections anticipate a modest 8.2 fantasy points on roughly 11 carries and 43 rushing yards against a tough defense. Facing a potential deficit as 7.5-point road underdogs, gamescript could easily squeeze his rushing volume. With fantasy start rates dipping to 27%, he profiles as a risky, matchup-dependent flex if active.
