- Isiah Pacheco gains some competition: Injuries to Pacheco ruined a promising start to the 2024 season. Now, he must share the backfield with Kareem Hunt, Elijah Mitchell and Brashard Smith, and ideally beat them all in training camp to remain a fantasy starter.
- Can the Kansas City Chiefs‘ offense improve?: The Chiefs used to be a consistent top team in points per game, but the last two seasons, they were closer to average. If the team is playing better, that should lead to more rushing touchdowns by whoever ends up leading the Chiefs’ backfield.

Player performance
Isiah Pacheco was a seventh-round pick in 2022 but managed to earn the Chiefs’ starting running back job by Week 7 of his rookie season. He received double-digit carries most weeks but was rarely used at the goal line, while Jerick McKinnon was the receiving back and primary backup, leading McKinnon to have the 12th-most points per game from Week 7 on, compared to the 38th-most for Pacheco.

How TCU social media leaned into Bill Belichick hype: Memes, one-liners and plenty of receipts
TCU had a heckuva time ruining Bill Belichick’s big debut at North Carolina on Monday night. The only one who might’ve had as much fun as the Horned Frog players in Chapel Hill was 32-year-old Sam Lazarus.TCU’s director of football creative media, like the rest of the Horned Frogs, had taken note of how everything surrounding Monday night’s game was about Belichick and his team. Of course, that wasn’t a shock considering that the 73-year-old Belichick, the greatest coach in NFL history, was coaching his first game at the college level. The curiosity factor of that probably even topped what the Horned Frogs faced when they opened up two years ago against Colorado in Deion Sanders’ first FBS game. Still, for a team coming off a nine-win season with most of its top talent returning, the disrespect of being reduced […]
Belichick’s UNC debut falls flat & ‘The U’ is back! + Ohio State claims #1 in the AP poll
Bill Belichick has officially debuted in college football! The legendary NFL head coach is lauded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, NFL head coaches of all-time. The entire off-season, all of the drama and the pomp and circumstance led up to Monday night. The stars came out, the stadium was packed and the North Carolina Tar Heels drove right down the field and scored on their first drive of the game. It all went down hill not too long after that, culminating in a deflating 48-14 loss to TCU. The Belichick Era did not get off to the start he, and many others, had hoped for. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what went wrong, what surprised them about North Carolina and TCU, what they think TCU can accomplish this season and if they think […]

But despite the glamour in the stands, the performance on the field betrayed the hype.A night of top-tier alumni presenceThe opening moments hinted at a promising start.
