Pacheco (fibula) had successful surgery Wednesday and is still expected to return in 6-to-8 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Pacheco's surgery involved no complications or ligament damage, which means he has a good chance to play again this season. He won't be a realistic candidate to be activated until at least November, or perhaps even December, but Pacheco is still worth holding in most fantasy leagues, given his potential to put up big numbers down the stretch. In the meantime, Carson Steele and Samaje Perine are Kansas City's top candidates for backfield snaps, with Keaontay Ingram also joining the active roster and Kareem Hunt having been recently signed to the practice squad.
