Samaje Perine

Perine played just 13 offensive snaps total while Carson Steele led the way with 23. Perine's playoff role following the Chiefs' first-round bye is tough to fully identify. Isiah Pacheco is dealing with a rib injury and the team has seemingly elevated Kareem Hunt to the No. 2 role. Perine's pass-catching talents should keep him somewhat involved in a rotational capacity though, even if both Pacheco and Hunt are active.

Head coach Andy Reid said Pacheco will be available for the playoffs. With nothing left to play for in the regular season, Pacheco will get Week 18 and the bye to recover from his rib injury. Kareem Hunt is listed as doubtful and will also get the day off on Sunday, leaving the backfield to Samaje Perine and Carson Steele.

Andy Reid said he expects Pacheco to be available for the playoffs but Week 18 is unlikely. With a first-round bye already locked up, Pacheco will be held out of the team's regular season finale to get as much rest as possible heading into the Divisional Round. The Chiefs could also rest Kareem Hunt and even Samaje Perine versus Denver.
