Who Should I Start? Emari Demercado or Braelon Allen

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. This is now back-to-back limited sessions which puts Demercado's status in danger ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. He hasn't been a huge piece to the offense with only three carries last week. However, Demercado recorded 59 rushing yards and a touchdown versus the Chicago Bears earlier this month. Despite that, Demercado remains the third string back and won't have much streaming appeal even if healthy this weekend.

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen was firmly in the backup role during the Week 11 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He finished with two carries for six yards and didn't see any targets in the passing game. In comparison, Breece Hall received 16 carries and seven targets. The biggest hit to Allen's fantasy value was always the amount of work Hall receives, and when he's rolling, Allen will disappear. The Jets will go up against a vulnerable run defense in the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12, so Allen may get some more work if they get a lead early on.
