High-Upside Slot Role Creates Late-Round Value After Summer Tumult
Philadelphia's first-round rookie enters the season slotted as the primary slot receiver alongside DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks. While recurring hamstring issues disrupted his training camp and delayed early chemistry, he returned late in the preseason and retains the confidence of the coaching staff.
Our projections forecast an impactful debut campaign, slating Lemon for 64 receptions on 91 targets for 820 yards and five touchdowns (162.0 PPR fantasy points). Although fantasy managers are stashing rather than starting him—reflected in an 89% roster rate against a 6% start rate—his target potential is undeniable.
Market sentiment shifted drastically over the summer. After commanding an ADP near pick 82 in July, Lemon's draft cost tumbled past pick 150 following recurring soft-tissue concerns. At this discounted price in PPR drafts, our models view him as an appealing late-round value steal with legitimate upside.

Outlook Jerry Jeudy
Plummeting Draft Cost Creates Late-Round Value Despite Camp Struggles
Jerry Jeudy opens the season as a starting outside receiver for Cleveland alongside Denzel Boston. After posting 1,229 yards in 2024, his output dropped to 641 yards on 51 catches in 2025. While team leadership previously labeled him a primary option, August practice reports noted recurring drop issues that tempered expectations for a rebound.
We project Jeudy to secure 55 receptions for 635 yards and three touchdowns across 102 targets, totaling 145.0 fantasy points. His projected role indicates consistent involvement, though lacking high-end efficiency. With his rostered rate hovering near 31%, fantasy managers currently view him as bench depth.
In 1.0 PPR drafts, Jeudy’s ADP plunged from pick 161 in early August to past 220 entering September. This steep decline reflects market skepticism over his consistency. Even so, at this suppressed price, our projections position him as a viable late-round value who brings clear target upside.
