It is just an abbreviation of "them".
"Knock 'em dead" = "Knock them dead"
"Knock 'em dead" is an expression that we say to encourage someone in a sports setting. It means something very similar to the expression "kick their asses", if you're more familiar with that one.

‘em is a way to say “them” so knock ‘em dead means knock them dead
Sentences:
Tell ‘em I’ll be there tomorrow.
Give it to ‘em
Did you tell ‘em?

" 'em" is a contraction for "them" more commonly used in some regions of the US.
Knock 'em dead (or knock them dead) is a figure of speech or expression used to wish someone good luck before they perform. It is wishing that they do such a good job that the audience is very impressed, out of words.
Examples: "Give 'em the ol' one two" = "Give them the old one two" = "Hit him with some punches" (one two is a boxing combination)
"We got 'em now" or "We gottem now" = "We got them now" = We have captured them or surrounded them, they have no way out.
"Grab 'em by the arm" = "Grab them by the arm"

“I’ going with em’ to the theater.”
