Coming off a big game against the Buccaneers on Sunday, the Chiefs are ranked 11th in the NFL in rushing (468 yards).

The Chiefs rolled up 189 yards on the ground with a pair of touchdowns in Tampa, and ran it down the Buccaneers’ throats.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire led the way with 92 yards rushing, while rookie Isiah Pacheco ran for 63 yards. Pacheco impressed fans with his hard-nosed running, and some fans thought he should be the featured back for the Chiefs.

This is how the Chiefs’ depth chart looks at running back:

  1. Clyde Edwards-Helaire
  2. Jerick McKinnon
  3. Isiah Pacheco
  4. Ronald Jones

Should Pacheco be atop the depth chart? Or maybe another running back? Or are you happy with Edwards-Helaire being the No. 1 back? Cast your vote below.
