Dadrion Taylor-Demerson: Everything you need to know

Taylor-Demerson compiled 59 tackles and six pass defenses, including two interceptions, in 12 regular-season games in 2025. Taylor-Demerson sat out Weeks 11-15 due to an ankle injury, but he otherwise served as the Cardinals' third safety behind Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson. A 2024 fourth-round pick, Taylor-Demerson surpassed his rookie tackle tally by 18 and also recorded the first two picks of his career this season. Considering Thompson's contract voids on Feb. 15, Taylor-Demerson could be poised for a starting gig in 2026 if Arizona opts to move on from the former.

Taylor-Demerson recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 37-14 loss at Cincinnati. Taylor-Demerson's 74 defensive snaps were one short of the career-high total he posted in Week 16 versus the Falcons, and his nine tackles also represented the second-best mark of his young career. If Budda Baker (concussion) is out again in Week 18, Taylor-Demerson would profile as a good IDP option in most formats.

Taylor-Demerson recorded 11 tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass in Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Falcons. Taylor-Demerson missed Arizona's previous five games due to an ankle injury but was able to return to action Sunday. With Jalen Thompson (hamstring) sidelined, Taylor-Demerson took on a starting role and co-led the team with a career-best 11 stops. If Thompson sits out again Week 17 versus Cincinnati, Taylor-Demerson figures to start again.
