BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Emari Demercado has now played on 91 snaps while operating with 33 attempts and assembling 136 rushing yards during Arizona’s last two matchups. The undrafted free agent has also eviscerated any lingering concerns surrounding his role as the Cardinals’ temporary lead back.
Demercado’s erratic usage from Weeks 5-7 had included two games in which he had eclipsed a 77% snap share while averaging 11.5 attempts: and 51.5 rushing yards per game.
However, those games were sandwiched around disappointing results in Week 6, which included a 43% share, two carries, and 11 rushing yards.
However, Demercado's numbers during Arizona’s last two matchups, have eliminated any lingering concerns surrounding his role as the Cardinals’ lead back while James Conner remains sidelined (knee).
Conner cannot reemerge before Week 10, and the exact timeline for his return remains uncertain. Demercado could also retain an ongoing role after Conner has resurfaced. That supplies an opportunity to utilize Demercado as an RB3/flex if you secure him for your roster this week.
