Broncos Sign Sincere McCormick to Their Practice Squad

Monday, December 8, 3:35 PM

The Denver Broncos are signing free-agent running back Sincere McCormick to their practice squad on Monday, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. McCormick will give the first-place Broncos some additional depth behind rookie RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin, and Tyler Badie with J.K. Dobbins (foot) out for the rest of the regular season. The 25-year-old has not played at all in 2025 but had 183 rushing yards on 39 carries (4.7 yards per tote) in five games (two starts) for the Las Vegas Raiders last year. McCormick was with the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad earlier this year but was cut last week to land back on the open market. McCormick will be a long shot for any fantasy value to close out the 2025 campaign.

Chiefs Sign Emari Demercado to One-Year Deal

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.
