Latest

Demercado’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He has had no injury designations this season in the reports we checked.

Dallas claimed him off waivers after Kansas City released him, reuniting him with offensive coordinator Klayton Adams (DallasCowboys.com), and he moved up after Malik Davis needed hip surgery. Through the first two games he had 5 carries for 15 yards and no targets (Pro Football Reference).

Fantasy Action: Demercado is only a deep-league handcuff for Javonte Williams managers; he would become a flex option only if Williams missed time.
