Season 2025 · 64.8 fantasy pts · 13 games · Pos rank #65

Durability Story · Elevated

Emari Demercado's durability file isn’t one dramatic injury — it’s a pattern. The same lower-body themes keep resurfacing. Evidence check: injury reports across 3 different seasons; 8 games missed in the last three (2025: 4, 2024: 1, and 2023: 3); 2025 was the rough one at 4 missed; longest on-report absence ran 3 weeks in 2023 (Wk 9–11); reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, bake in real availability uncertainty for Emari — don’t price a full 17-game slate until practice reports settle for a few weeks.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
