Emari Demercado

Emari Demercado has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Demercado was unable to practice this week. His absence won't mean too much for the Cardinals backfield, though James Conner could see the field on a few more passing downs in his absence.

Emari Demercado was absent from practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Demercado remains off the fantasy radar when healthy. James Conner could take on some more passing downs if he is sidelined.

Emari Demercado (back) missed Arizona's practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

The Cardinals were without Demercado at practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with a back injury right now, and it's unclear when he will be healthy enough to make his return to practice. Rookie Trey Benson may see slightly more work if Demercado is out in Week 15, but not enough to make him fantasy relevant.

Emari Demarcado carried the ball three times for 12 yards while also catching one of his two targets for three yards in the Cardinals' 23-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 13.

Fantasy Impact

Demercado continues a modest stretch as part of an inconsistent Arizona offensive attack, finishing with less than 25 offensive yards in five of the last six games. The running back continues to be best left off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 14 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Emari Demercado rushed four times for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' Week 9 victory versus the Bears. He additionally hauled in both of his targets for 21 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Demercado was uber-efficient this week, as he compiled 80 scrimmage yards on merely six touches. He notched his first touchdown of the season, where he broke loose for 53 yards in the final seconds before halftime. Despite the productive performance, Demercado remains off the fantasy radar as long as James Conner is healthy.
