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.

Kalel Mullings News
Sunday, November 23, 11:56 AM
Tennessee Titans rookie running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and is officially active on Sunday against the visiting Seattle Seahawks in Week 12. Mullings, who was selected in the sixth round in April out of Michigan, will be playing for the first time since injuring his ankle back on Sept. 21 in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old wideout will most likely be limited to a special teams role in his return this weekend while also serving as backfield depth behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. He is not a realistic starting option in any fantasy football leagues and probably won't be for the rest of his first year in the NFL. Mullings has only played in two games in 2025 and has not seen a carry or caught a pass on offense for the Titans.
