Pass-protection depth back buried behind Kenneth Walker -- no standalone role.

Full breakdown +

We rank Demercado 315th (PPR) vs a consensus ADP of 202. He is KC's third back at best behind Walker, competing with a drafted rookie for the passing-down role, without a guaranteed roster spot. Purely an injury-contingent asset.
