Should I start Jonah Coleman or Isiah Pacheco in Week 9?

Updated Nov 3, 3:46 AM ET.

Start Jonah Coleman: he has been on the field this season, 33 percent of the snaps, and Isiah Pacheco has no snap on record yet. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

In Week 8 against KC he carried 11 times for 41 yards, caught 4 of 5 targets for 63 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Isiah Pacheco played 13 games and scored 87.3 PPR points, 6.7 a game, finishing RB56.

He carried 118 times for 462 yards and 1 touchdown, and caught 19 of 26 targets for 101 more yards.

That came to 9.1 carries a game at 3.9 yards a carry and 1-2 catches a game.

He was on the field for 52 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Byes and availability

Jonah Coleman is off in Week 10 and Isiah Pacheco in Week 6, so either can cover the other's bye.

Isiah Pacheco is listed as ir on the injury report.
