If I had to make a choice, other than pass, I would fade him.

The problem is that the 87% will definitely come down, but that he could still be producing more winners than losers.
Of all the 3 possible answers, fading him is definitely the worst. There is no such thing as "being due" and at 33-5 he is more likely to be breakeven or better than he is bad enough to profitably fade.

The question is similar to this situation: you flip a coin 10 times and it comes up heads all 10 times. For the 11th flip you are given the choice of betting heads or tails at -105 or not betting either. Not betting either is the best choice but if forced to choose one, you should almost certainly choose heads as there is a chance the coin is not a fair coin and is more likely to have heads come up.
