Makai Lemon vs. Panthers — Rising Target Volume Offers Sneaky Sleeper Value
Lemon has solidified his position as Philadelphia's starting slot receiver, showing steady growth with 13 targets and eight catches over his last two contests. With top perimeter target DeVonta Smith sidelined at practice due to a hamstring injury, the rookie could see an even higher route share and quick-game looks at home against Carolina.
Our weekly projection tabs Lemon for roughly 2.4 receptions and 25 receiving yards (5.5 fantasy points) in what is expected to be a lower-scoring matchup. Currently rostered in 49% of leagues and started in only 9%, Lemon is an intriguing deep-league flex option whose value is trending upward.
