Emari Demercado

He’s barely getting any playing time and is stuck behind several other running backs, so he likely won’t help your team. Drop him and pick up someone who will actually get touches unless your league is very deep or you just want him as an emergency backup.

He lost the main running job after a fumble and is mostly used on passing plays now while Michael Carter gets most of the carries. Sit him this week vs. Indianapolis unless you just want him as a backup on your bench.

Pick up Demercado — with Trey Benson on injured reserve he should get more snaps and catch more passes. There’s still a chance carries get split and he had a recent fumble, so treat him as a depth pickup or a starter only in deep leagues; if you need to spend to get him, aim for about 5–7% of your budget.

Add Demercado to your bench as insurance — with Conner hurt he should get pass-catching work and some touchdown chances, but Benson looks like the main runner so regular carries could be limited. In shallow leagues you can wait unless you need depth now; only start him if Benson is out or in deeper leagues where catches matter and the matchup is very favorable.
