Alvin has been poopy pants the last month, but Pacheco isn't a pass catcher.

Tough call. I also have Pacheco and am debating between him and CPatt.

AK. I’m considering benching him myself. But I have a much better option than Pacheco.

I have Kamara also. Considered benching him but I know he'll go off when I do.

It's been a rough ride with Kamara, but I think we've been getting his floor the last few weeks. Unless you have some other elite option, I probably wouldn't bench him. He still gets you a minimum of 7-8 points in PPR on his worst weeks. He and the offense can come back to the mean.

He also fumbled on the goal line this past week. That's an 8 point swing. If he would've scored 15 PPR instead of 7, we probably wouldn't be talking about this.

I'd also point out the last 3 weeks he played against Pitt who got Watt back, vs Rams with Donald still playing, and @ SanFran a top 1 or 2 defense in the league. That's a hard stretch for anybody. His playoff schedule in weeks 15 and 16 is fantastic though. Atlanta and Cleveland those weeks. Two of the worst Defenses against RBs in the league.

Keep an eye on McKinnon. If he can’t go Sunday, I think Pacheco is a sneaky top 15 play.

Pacheco going against a stout run defense. He likely won’t be pass catching threat. Could be some hard earned points if he doesn’t find pay dirt.

So is Kamara.

Tampa has given up the 4th fewest fantasy points to a RB this season.

Kamara catches passes, he doesn't

Kamara past 4 game average

Rush 28yds on 9 attempts (brutal)
Receiving 34yds on 5 targets (brutal)
0 TDs (bruuuutal)

But he’s still likely the “safer” option over Pacheco. Just hasn’t been productive. May need to wait until WK15 and then he rolls, hopefully.

Ride with Pacheco. He is out to prove himself.

All Kamara has proven this year is that he had more energy kicking the shite out of a guy on the ground in Vega$ than he has displayed on the field all season.

I feel like this thread is why my league never wants to go to full PPR. Pacheco has run REALLY well over the last month and is a fine option in standard to half point. He’s the primary ball carrier on an elite offense , I’d start him with confidence going forward.
