Pacheco Era is OVER! Ranking the 2026 Free Agent RB’s for the Chiefs

We have appreciated what he’s done
Well this was painful. I’d love to see Mike’s rankings because he was the only one ranking off logic.
My offseason free agent signing wish list is either Hall or Etienne and I’m leaning towards it’ll be Etienne and then I want Baltimore tight end Isaiah Likely as the Kelce successor as he’s stuck behind Andrews in Baltimore despite being the better player now with much brighter future but Ravens already stupidly paid Andrews. Sign Etienne, Likely and the draft either Tate or Lemon as Rashee Rice insurance for this coming season depending on how his current yet another off field dilemma plays out and be his replacement beyond this coming season as there is now way in hell Veach is extending Rice

If Passion Pacheco is (really) done with the Chiefs, then your 'tier list' is really a "tear list" ! 🥹 Either way, Thanks Pops ! And…the BRICK WALL says, "Put 'em all in the "C" class…we ain't pickin' 'em, Andy and Veach are !
I mean Rico did almost take Chubbas job and he’s a starter lol 😂
If Rico ends up In a chiefs uniform Steve has to buy his jersey lol
Got to agree with Mike… Etienne is definatley as good and won't cost as much look at his consistency
S easy… But I agree he is 3rd best
Travis eteine will do fine
Lower s tier
Mike….you need a Snickers bro!! 😂😂😂😂😂❤
I think Etienne is an A level player for this exercise, but an S level fit. He fits our system better than Hall or Walker.
If you can’t get the big names a combo of Dowble and Ford can go a long way.
As someone who had Rico Dowdle on their fantasy team this year, I can vouch that he had a REALLY good year. Didn't he have back to back 200 yard rushing games??? 🤣 Like c'mon guys
Lol this is just like me and my brothers bickering about everything 🤣🤣
Lol man I felt for Mike during that Dowdle shyt. The guy is a good back. He had to play second fiddle to Chuba Hubbard for the first 6-8 games, even tho it was clear he was the better back. Hubbard got hurt and Dowdle took over the lead role, and single handedly ran the Panthers to about 4-5 wins in the mid-late part of the year. He's a good player. I just don't know if the Chiefs would commit to the run game enough to get the most out of him.
Y'all gotta watch entire Seahawks games. Walker drops the ball a LOT. He had two flat out drops in the super bowl!!! It's just not his game, and that's ok! He's probably the best pure runner of all these guys
Trade a 5th round pick for Isaiah Davis.
Love my boys in Kentucky!! If they are at Zarda’s for training camp. I will make it this year. Keep up the good work men.
You are wrong!!
Steve is crazy, Etienne is definitely S tier, I’d rather have him than Walker. We have to have a back who can help protect Pat.
Etienne is teetering between A and S. Dowdle is an A. And I’d not feel compelled to debate much if someone said A- or B+. But if someone said “solid B,” it’s evident they’ve not watched him much.
I've had Etienne past two years in fantasy. Picked him up later rounds and he didn't disappoint.
Who is Rico Daddle ?
Next time, y’all need to live-rank the position #1 through whatever. Individual lists, not collective. Still allows for the great debates and banter but doesn’t require a consensus opinion.
How quickly everyone forgets how Pacheco finally getting the ball his rookie year is what turned the season around…. Roll the tape Donnie! Mark it 8, mark it 8. 😂😮😂
Surprised Etiene would leave Trevor, especially since they seem to be turning it around.
PETE’S WEENIE!!! 😂 Making shirts
Mount Rushmore of RB’s Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton,…and Rico Dowdle!!! Lmao 🤣 thanks for the laughs guys
You two right like brothers….. 😂
