Emberson logged an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche. - Emberson is up to two assists this season, both of which he's earned over the last 10 games. The 24-year-old defenseman hasn't taken a step forward on offense, and his 19:56 of ice time Saturday was his most in a game since Opening Night. He's produced 22 shots on net, 35 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 22 appearances in a bottom-four role, and that's not enough production for fantasy consideration. |

Emberson posted an assist in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks. - Emberson had the secondary helper on a Brett Kulak tally in the third period. The assist was Emberson's first point as an Oiler, and he's added 20 hits, 12 blocked shots, 15 shots on net, seven PIM and a minus-4 rating while filling a bottom-four role. For now, he's holding onto a spot in the lineup over Troy Stecher, but Emberson's grip on that spot is tenuous at best since he hasn't stood out in any area this season. |

Emberson has not recorded a point through his first 10 games of the season. - Emberson has collected 14 shots on net, 16 hits, 11 blocked shots, seven PIM and a minus-4 rating while playing in a bottom-four role. His offseason move from San Jose to Edmonton has not helped his offense, and he's even been a healthy scratch twice so far. Emberson still looks to be the Oilers' preferred option over Troy Stecher, but the 24-year-old won't have much fantasy value outside of banger leagues if he can't generate some points. |

Emberson was brought in by the Oilers from the Sharks on Sunday in a swap for Cody Ceci and a 2025 third-round pick. - Emberson played in 30 NHL games as a rookie last season in which he generated one goal, nine assists and 31 shots while averaging 18:33 of ice time. The 24-year-old defenseman should be on the roster coming out of training camp, though he will need to edge out the likes of Troy Stecher (ankle). If Emberson suits up Opening Night, he could see some time with the No. 2 power-play unit, which would certainly bolster his fantasy value. |

Last year, the 24-year-old defenseman saw action in 30 NHL contests in which he garnered one goal, nine assists and 31 shots while averaging 18:33 of ice time. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Emberson should take the next step in his development and be a full-time NHL option for San Jose. |
