The Kansas City Chiefs have the best record in the NFL, at 13-1 this season. However, during Sunday’s 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns, Chiefs superstar QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a high-ankle sprain. This week, the Chiefs will face the 9-5 Texans in Houston on Saturday, December 21, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Mahomes participated fully in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, so he should be ready for this AFC matchup. Below, I detail some Isiah Pacheco prop bets for Saturday’s matchup with the Texans.
Best Isiah Pacheco Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Isiah Pacheco under 55.5 rushing yards (-115)
After missing nine games, Pacheco has played in the last three. Since returning, his performances have fluctuated. He has not totaled more than 55.5 rushing yards once in the previous three games. In the last game against the Browns, he had 13 attempts for 32 rushing yards with one catch for 15 yards.
Although this is a small sample size, Pachecho has only hit this mark once in five games this year. Until he proves himself to be the consistent playmaker he was a season ago, it is wise to get his under in rushing yards at -115 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Isiah Pacheco over 8.5 receiving yards (-120)
Even though Pachecho only has had over 8.5 receiving yards in his first three games back, that total is still too low. He hit that total in the first two games of the season before he was injured. He had at least 20 receiving yards in each of the first two games.
It is only a matter of time before Pacheco is involved again in the passing game. Andy Reid and the Chiefs seem to be figuring out the best way to use Pacheco and Kareem Hunt together. Pachecho only received one target last week, but he has the potential to have one reception for over 8.5 yards, as he did against the Browns. You can get Pacheco’s over in receiving yards at -120.
