Emari Demercado to See Increased Role in Cardinals Backfield

Emari Demercado is expected to see an increased role in the Arizona Cardinals' backfield following Bam Knight's placement on injured reserve with an ankle injury, making him the third Cardinals RB lost for the season. While Michael Carter dominated work in Houston (14 carries, 4 targets), Demercado received one carry and three targets. Although Carter is considered the superior fantasy option, Demercado is anticipated to be more involved moving forward as the team's primary change-of-pace option, especially given the depleted state of the running back corps.
