Running back has the tendency to be more predictable than fantasy football managers would like.
That's why players like Isiah Pacheco, Tyrone Tracy and Emari Demercado have fantasy players pulling their hair out ahead of Week 6 waiver wire drop decisions.
Everyone's team is different, but it's always tempting to cut ties with underperformers.

Should I drop Isiah Pacheco in fantasy?
Pacheco is likely a player to hold, but only for the simple reason that the RB pool isn't that deep.
It seems unlikely that he'll suddenly be a star again for the Chiefs, who are using a three-man backfield rotation.
But in a pinch in a tough week, Pacheco can go into your lineup and get 8-12 touches. That still has some value.

Should I drop Tyrone Tracy in fantasy?
It's safe to drop Tracy in fantasy.
Cam Skattebo has taken over this backfield, and Devin Singletary gets action, too.
With Tracy dinged up as well, it's fine to cut him loose.
Should I drop Emari Demercado in fantasy?
Yes, it's safe to drop Demercado.
His failure to get across the goal line and score a touchdown in Week 5 likely loses playing time, and besides, it was Michael Carter who led the Cardinals' backfield, not Demercado.
