Overall
Nets 79 touches as rookie
Demercado tallied 284 yards and two touchdowns on 58 carries and hauled in 21 of 30 targets for 119 yards in 14 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie had a moment in the spotlight from Weeks 5-8, a span in which he earned two starts in place of an injured James Conner and netted 228 yards from scrimmage and one TD on 52 touches. Otherwise, Conner dominated the Cardinals backfield, and midseason waiver-wire pickup Michael Carter even surpassed Demercado on the RB depth chart over the final six outings of the season. All of Conner, Carter and Demercado will be back in 2024, so Demercado again won't be higher than No. 2 or 3 at the position as the roster currently stands.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Behind Ingram on depth chart
Demercado is listed behind Keaontay Ingram on Arizona's Week 6 running back depth chart, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Demercado played every snap in the second half of the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Bengals after James Conner suffered a knee injury, but the undrafted rookie may not maintain the lead role going forward, even with Conner having been placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Ingram is trending toward a return for Sunday's game against the Rams after missing the past two games due to a neck injury. If healthy, Ingram could be first in line for carries over both Demercado and Tony Jones, the latter of whom was claimed off waivers Monday.
