Emari Demercado News
Thursday, March 12, 5:58 PM
The Kansas City Chiefs signed former Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Demercado had over 1,100 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns (three rushing) in his three years with the team, and he'll now join Kenneth Walker III in KC's new-look backfield going into the 2026 season. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent out of TCU had a career-high 312 rushing yards on 44 carries in 13 games in Arizona in 2025, but he didn't find the end zone on the ground. Demercado added 13 receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown in an expanded role after both James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) suffered season-ending injuries. He never held a big role in Arizona's backfield, but he was productive when he touched the ball, averaging 6.5 yards per attempt on 126 carries. Demercado should have more upside as a stash candidate in deeper fantasy leagues while competing for backup duties with Brashard Smith.

Isaiah Davis News
Wednesday, April 1, 8:04 PM
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis could have trouble becoming relevant in fantasy football going forward. With Breece Hall still in New York and Braelon Allen (knee) coming back from injury, Davis finds himself buried at No. 3 on the depth chart, at best. He could slip even further down the pecking order if the Jets make an additional signing or select a rookie running back in this month's NFL Draft. Davis, 24, has been in the league for two years, and despite having plenty of opportunities to touch the football, he has never finished higher than RB59 in a single season. It's somewhat of a shame, as Davis has averaged 5.62 yards per carry in the NFL, and he caught 21 passes in 2025. We know he's talented, but the path to a fantasy-relevant role just isn't very promising. He can be left on waivers in many dynasty leagues.
