2024 Fantasy Outlook
An undrafted rookie out of TCU last spring, Demercado got a look as the Cardinals' lead running back in October after James Conner was injured and Keaontay Ingram struggled. The rookie had 33 carries for 136 yards between Weeks 7 and 8, but he missed the next three games with a toe injury and had a much smaller role behind a healthy Conner over the final six weeks. Demercado's spot then became even more precarious this spring when Arizona took Trey Benson in the third round of the 2024 Draft. While his competent rookie-year performance and special-teams contributions could keep him on the roster, Demercado figures to be third or fourth on Arizona's backfield depth chart this summer.

RANKS
Garners three carries in Week 10
Demercado tallied three carries for 22 yards during Sunday's 31-6 win against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
One week removed from his second-highest touch count (six) of the season, Demercado took a back seat to James Conner and fellow reserve RB Trey Benson out of the Cardinals backfield. Conner again led the way with 17 touches for 113 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on a 54 percent snap share, while Benson handled 12 touches for 87 total yards on 27 percent of plays. As for Demercado, he was third with 12 percent, and even DeeJay Dallas got three carries on four snaps in garbage time. It seems clear at this point in the campaign that Demercado is third in the pecking order, and with a Week 11 bye on tap, his next chance to contribute will come Sunday. Nov. 24 at Seattle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Behind Ingram on depth chart
Demercado is listed behind Keaontay Ingram on Arizona's Week 6 running back depth chart, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Demercado played every snap in the second half of the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Bengals after James Conner suffered a knee injury, but the undrafted rookie may not maintain the lead role going forward, even with Conner having been placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Ingram is trending toward a return for Sunday's game against the Rams after missing the past two games due to a neck injury. If healthy, Ingram could be first in line for carries over both Demercado and Tony Jones, the latter of whom was claimed off waivers Monday.
