With the Fantasy Football regular season coming to a close on Monday, it is time to look at the top five offensive rookies on winning teams from Week 14.

5) Isiah Pacheco–Kansas City Chiefs–

The Kansas City Chiefs offense at the moment is not all Patrick Mahomes. Running back Isiah Pacheco of Vineland, New Jersey has become an instrumental part of the Chiefs offense too. On Sunday, the Chiefs improved to a record of 10 wins and three losses following a 34-28 win over the Denver Broncos. Pacheco had 93 total yards (70 rushing yards and 23 receiving yards).

4) Jameson Williams–Detroit Lions–

In only his second NFL game, Jameson Williams of St. Louis, Missouri had one catch for 41 yards and a touchdown as the red hot Detroit Lions defeated the Minnesota Vikings 34-23. The Lions have now won five of their last six games. Williams’s touchdown opened the scoring four minutes and 33 seconds into the contest. He was the Lions’s first round pick (12th overall) out of Alabama.

3) Raheem Blackshear–Carolina Panthers–

The Carolina Panthers went into the Pacific Northwest on Sunday, and beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-24. Panthers rookie running back Raheem Blackshear of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who opened the season on the Buffalo Bills practice squad, had four rushes for 32 yards and one touchdown, along with one catch for 17 yards. His touchdown was an eight-yard run with six minutes and 57 seconds left in the fourth quarter, and put the Panthers up 26-17 at the time. Undrafted, Blackshear played his college football at Rutgers and Virginia Tech.

2) Pierre Strong Jr.–New England Patriots–

The Patriots rookie from Little Rock, Arkansas came into the game on Monday when running back Rhamondre Stevenson left the game with an ankle injury. Strong Jr. only had five rushes and two catches, but had 90 total yards (70 rushing yards and 20 receiving yards) as the Patriots moved into a playoff spot with a 27-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Strong Jr.’s touchdown closed out the scoring with a three-yard run with 51 seconds into the final quarter.
