Outlook Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon vs. Washington — Rookie Earns Starting Slot Role but Remains a Speculative Play
Rookie Makai Lemon secured a starting role as Philadelphia's primary slot receiver and punt returner on the depth chart after putting multiple preseason hamstring injuries behind him. While the coaching staff showed confidence by placing him ahead of veteran Hollywood Brown, he still faces heavy target competition within a balanced Eagles offense featuring DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley.
Fantasy managers should view Lemon as an intriguing bench stash rather than an immediate starter, reflected by his low 3% start rate despite being rostered in 86% of leagues. Our weekly projection forecasts a modest output of around 2.3 receptions for 31 yards in a home matchup where Philadelphia is favored, meaning he belongs on fantasy benches until his volume becomes predictable.

Outlook Drake London
Drake London at Pittsburgh — Clear Primary Target in Low-Scoring Road Battle
London enters Week 1 as the undisputed top option in Atlanta’s passing attack after cementing his long-term role this offseason. While backup quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is sidelined and starter Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with an oblique concern, London remains completely healthy and locked into full-time boundary routes against the Steelers.
Facing a projected low-scoring environment in Pittsburgh where the Falcons are 5-point underdogs, London could benefit from added passing volume if game script turns negative. Our weekly projections slate him for around 4.5 receptions and 61 yards on over 7 targets with 15.0 fantasy points. Roster and start rates are at 100%, and fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as an every-week WR1/WR2.
