Emari Demercado

The brief period of Emari Demercado’s fantasy football relevance is fading away in front of our very eyes. With Demercado set to miss week 9, and James Conner eligible to return from IR in week 10, Fantasy managers shouldn’t feel the need to hang onto Demercado if there is a player on waivers that can improve their roster this weekend and beyond.

With Demercado and Conner both out in week 9, the Cardinals backfield is expected to make up an ugly combination of Keaontay Ingram, Damien Williams, and Tony Jones Jr. Ingram is expected to take the lead duties, but all Cardinals Running Backs should be avoided this week in a matchup against the Browns who are top 5 in limiting fantasy points to the position.
