Demercado was listed as a limited participant in the Cardinals' first official practice report of the week. He was the only offensive skill position player listed with an injury designation. The backfield is mostly James Conner and Trey Benson, with Demercado chipping in every once in a while. If Demercado cannot go Week 12 against the Seahawks, it does not shift fantasy stances by much.

Benson continues to solidify his status as one of fantasy football's highest-valued running back bench stashes and can even be started on teams with thin running back rooms. He broke a season-high seven combined tackles as a rusher and as a receiver in this one. He is a truly talented young player who should be added to playoff-bound fantasy squads during the Cardinals' Week 11 bye.
Surprisingly, Cardinals RB James Conner tied for the team league in targets with five and led the team in receiving with 80 yards. He ran the ball 12 times for 33 yards and a TD and was actually outperformed by rookie RB Trey Benson who had 62 yards rushing on 10 carries.
Benson's explosive aerial gain was a second-drive catch-and-run explosion down the sideline that treated viewers to an impressive showing of fancy feet and spatial awareness. He was notably effective on runs up the middle. The game appears to be slowing down for Benson. Over the last three games in which he participated as a rusher, Benson is averaging 5.2 yards per carry and one explosive run play per game. He is a must-stash backup re-draft leagues.
