Emanuel Wilson News
Saturday, October 24, 7:20 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson should operate as the team's No. 1 option out of the backfield against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. The team chose not to activate Zach Charbonnet (knee) from injured reserve this week, leaving Wilson in line to lead the backfield one more time. The 27-year-old has posted mixed results since taking on an expanded role near the start of the season, but he has been pretty consistent over the last three weeks in particular. During that three-game stretch, he's averaging 18.3 carries, 64.7 rushing yards, 1.7 receptions, 16.7 receiving yards, and 0.7 touchdowns per game. He has been sharing some touches with George Holani, but Wilson is the undisputed lead-back option as long as Charbonnet is sidelined. This is likely Wilson's final week in the RB2/RB3 range, but he's still a very strong streaming option for managers in need of a running back due to bye weeks or injuries.

Emari Demercado News
Tuesday, October 13, 2:59 PM
The Dallas Cowboys re-signed running back Emari Demercado on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Running back depth has been a problem this year for the Cowboys behind starter Javonte Williams, but Demercado will return to Dallas alongside Tyler Goodson for now as the team heads into a Week 6 battle on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The 27-year-old Demercado was a healthy scratch for the Cowboys for two games earlier this season before he was waived last week. The former undrafted free agent from TCU is only worth adding off the waiver wire as a handcuff for Williams in the deepest of fantasy leagues. Demercado has just five carries this year with Dallas for 15 yards and has not been targeted at all in the passing game. He is averaging a healthy 6.4 yards per carry in his three-plus seasons in the NFL (three years with the Arizona Cardinals), but Demercado has just 131 rushing attempts and 50 receptions on 70 targets since he debuted in 2023.
