Emari Demercado Week 10 Outlook - Cardinals at Seahawks

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 6th 2025, 1:35pm EST

Last week, Emari Demercado led the way on the ground for Arizona with 14 of 23 running back rushing attempts. He had two of the five running back red zone rushing attempts while playing 40% of the snaps with an 18.9% route share (3.2% target share). Demercado finished with 15 touches and 78 total yards. He has a 13.6% explosive run rate but only a 9% missed tackle rate and 2.09 yards after contact per attempt. This isn't the week to look to his backfield for a flex play. Since Week 5, Seattle has remained an elite run defense, giving up the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game, the second-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the third-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
