Is it time to cut bait with Zac Stacy?

Zac Stacy rushed 8 times for 17 yards (2.1 YPC) and caught 2 passes for 17 yards in the Rams' 31-17 loss to the 49ers on Monday night. He only played on 34% of St. Louis' offensive snaps. Tuesday, Coach Jeff Fisher said that Stacy had no physical issues and the team just wanted to use 3 RBs. Fisher confirmed that the team has no problem continuing that rotation.

Fantasy Impact:
I counted four players running the ball on Monday night. And don't forget Trey Watts who ran it in previous weeks. The new trend in the NFL this year is the 4-headed RB committee monster (just ask Atlanta how that's working out). You probably drafted Stacy in the 2nd or 3rd rounds of your drafts in August, and 6 weeks in we can hear "Stacy's a bust" whispering in the cool winds of October. The 49ers, arguably the best run defense in the league, gave up 94 rushing yards and a touchdown to St. Louis running backs. Not a bad day if you have a bell-cow, but divide that 4 ways and you have a mess. Stacy's next 6 games are just brutal. He's better parked on benches until this mess straightens out, if it ever does.
