Continues to lead K.C. backfield As Thursday night's season opener against the Ravens approaches, Pacheco remains the starter in a Chiefs backfield that also includes Samaje Perine and Carson Steele, Blair Kerkhof... Impact With Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the reserve/non-football illness list and in line to miss at least four games, Samaje Perine and rookie RB/FB Carson Steele are slated to work in complementary roles behind Pacheco to begin the season. While Perine, who is an adept pass-catching option, will have an opportunity to carve out a change-of-pace role with Kansas City, the newcomer is still getting up to speed with the team's playbook, so it remains to be seen how heavily he'll be utilized versus Baltimore. With that in mind, Pacheco is a candidate to see plenty of touches in Week 1.
