PFF ranks the Chiefs’ running backs in the middle of the pack

Jeff Hanisch-

Kansas City now has just two running backs locked in for 2024. Who will be behind them?

The football analytics site Pro Football Focus has released its ranking of the NFL’s best running back squads. The Kansas City Chiefs fall in the middle of the pack.

18. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Isiah Pacheco is the king of consistency, earning rushing grades of 74.2 and 80.2 in the past two seasons. He also recorded a yards per carry average above 4.5 in each of the past two seasons with 40 explosive runs, 20 in both years.

Kansas City still has Clyde Edwards-Helaire behind him, but not much is known after that.

Takeaway

Here, PFF’s Trevor Sikkema correctly notes that behind Pacheco and Edwards-Helaire, we just don’t know who the Chiefs will have at running back in 2024. Among the five backs behind them on the 90-man roster — Keaontay Ingram, Deneric Prince, Carson Steele, Emani Bailey and Louis Rees-Zammit — only Ingram has NFL rushing attempts to his credit.

In two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, Ingram averaged just 2.2 yards per attempt and registered a dismal success rate of 22.6%. While he was more effective as a receiver — he collected eight catches on nine targets — that’s a small sample size; we don’t know what he can do at this level.

That leaves four other players about whom we know even less. Two are rookies, while another is just learning how to play the game.

With so little depth available, it’s surprising that Kansas City’s running backs aren’t ranked lower. That’s probably a testament to Pacheco, whose 2023 PFF grade of 79.9 ranked 11th among qualifying running backs. It also suggests that PFF has more respect for Edwards-Helaire than many Chiefs fans.

Still, Kansas City is thin at the position. We will be watching closely to see who will step up.
