What our analysts say
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Emari Demercado (DAL RB), our RB54 this week for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season against bye, projecting 4.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. He's without an opponent this week, which caps this at a roster-hold conversation. He grades 55% below the average weekly RB number, which is a floor problem more than a ceiling one. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
