Now the big question is will the NCAA let him play.

Fwiw, UGA is applying for a family hardship waiver for him as his mother is apparently very ill.

Does this affect our 2019 receivers?

No.
Demetris will be eligible for the NFL draft next spring. If he has a good season this year for us, it wouldn't be a surprise to anyone if he declares early. But even if he plays in 2019, it would be nothing but a positive for the incoming receivers to compete with a guy of his caliber for their Freshman season.

A speed receiver but needs a lot of work in running routes and blocking. No way he's ready to go pro after next season and would be foolish to even think about it.

Hope we use him a play maker like him would have helped us last year

JWard, I'd love for him to get his waiver and play 3 years for us (he got a medical last year at Cal), but it ain't gonna happen. Everyone in the NFL knows all about Demetris. At Cal, he was a Freshman All-American, Biletnikoff watch list in 2017, standout as a true freshman on Cal's track team (100M & 4x100), 5-star recruit who panned out, etc, etc. The NFL is chomping at the bit to get him. If they could draft him today they would.

I feel pretty strongly the plan is for him to play 2018 and then head straight to the NFL draft. I think he wants to be closer to his sick Mom and wants her to see him play a year of college and see him reach his dream of playing in the NFL before she passes. It sounds as if she might have very limited time left, and I think the NCAA will clear him because from all accounts, he meets all the requirements in place for a hardship waiver.
