Emari Demercado Week 6 Outlook - Cardinals at Colts

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 9th 2025, 1:35pm EDT

Last week, Emari Demercado played only 27.9% of the snaps, finishing with three carries and 81 rushing yards. He had a mental error with the football that I'm sure everyone has seen the clip of by now, so I won't rehash it here. That brain fart did lead to his coach having a less-than-pleasant interaction with him on the sidelines last week, so I don't see his role growing this week. I expect Michael Carter to lead the backfield again this week. Demercado is best viewed as a handcuff, right now.
