Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Emari Demercado

Friday, November 7, 11:45 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill hasn't done much throughout the 2025 campaign. Although he had two touchdowns in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, he's been quiet overall from a production standpoint. The 27-year-old logged a season-high 35 offensive snaps in Week 6 versus the Los Angeles Rams. Yet, since the Ravens returned from their bye week, that number dropped considerably, with Hill logging only 11 offensive snaps in the Thursday night win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. With Baltimore looking to build on a two-game winning streak, the team is aiming for a much-needed victory over Minnesota on Sunday. The Vikings have looked good at times on the defensive side of the ball this season. However, regardless of the matchup, Hill isn't worth starting in any fantasy format. That likely won't change anytime soon, especially with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry getting most of the carries.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado led the team in rushing in their Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys, handling 14 carries for 79 yards. Demercado's role for Week 10, however, is still uncertain after head coach Jonathan Gannon has provided no insight whatsoever into their plans for how they will manage the backfield on Sunday in Seattle. Arizona's backfield has been a nightmare for fantasy managers to figure out recently, but Demercado provides some element of explosiveness and big-play ability that Bam Knight and Michael Carter don't offer. Knight has maintained the slight upper hand on snaps in recent weeks, while Carter has slid to the RB3 role. Demercado has the most juice as a receiver out of the backfield, which is an area that Seattle has struggled with this season, allowing the second-most receptions (48) to opposing running backs. It's tough to know for certain, but Knight and Demercado project to split most of the touches on Sunday, with Knight on early downs and Demercado on pass downs.
