Homer has been pivotal on so many of our great plays this year.

He keeps the safeties off Russ while Russ has time to throw long into single coverage. If that defense is in cover 0, Wilson is going to kill it because Homer will keep the rusher off him.

I hate when Homer carries the ball. But we need to keep him.

Maybe treat him like a Fullback, feed him the ball just enough to keep him happy but for the most part keep him in to block or pass him the ball out in the flat.
Nobody should want to see Homer running between the tackles and he isn't really fast enough to reliably get to the edge on sweeps.

Penny will be an important asset though. He catches the ball and has speed. But he will give you some decent long runs too.

Honestly, Hyde is the guy that seems to not be doing much. Rather have a healthy Penny over Hyde all day.

Isn't that exactly what they're doing now? He's only rushed the ball 15 times in 5 games.

I don't think it's about making him "Happy". If hes your best blocking RB you need him to rush the ball so not to tip the defense that it's a pass play and keep them honest.
