Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) is questionable ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans. Demercado was a limited participant in all three practices this week, which is a positive sign that he will suit up on Sunday. The 26-year-old has been sidelined for the last three weeks due to an ankle injury he sustained during Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. If Demercado can play, he will likely slide back into his RB2 role as the primary pass-catching back and compete for carries with Michael Carter and Bam Knight. Entering Week 15, Demercado will face a stout Texans defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest receptions and the fifth-fewest rushing yards this season. In a difficult matchup, Demercado should remain out of fantasy lineups in Week 15. Fantasy managers should view him as a wait-and-see fantasy option in Sunday's game to determine if he can be inserted back into fantasy lineups for Week 16 and beyond.
