Demercado is now with a team that could badly use a pass-catching back. Javonte Williams isn't it. Neither is Malik Davis.

STACKED’s take

Demercado's pass-catching skills offer PPR value in Cowboys' pass-catching void.

Javonte Williams and Malik Davis are not the answer. Demercado has some play-making juice and the makings of a potentially unsung PPR bench option.
