Outlook Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon vs. Rams: Expanded Slot Opportunities on the Horizon
Lemon continues to settle into Philadelphia's primary slot receiver duties, coming off a Week 3 contest where he caught three passes for 29 yards, highlighted by a season-long 19-yard reception. While Philadelphia continues to integrate the rookie organically, his target share could see a bump this week if starting wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who missed practice Wednesday with a hamstring injury, is sidelined or limited.
Even with the potential for increased work, fantasy managers should treat Lemon as a bench stash rather than an immediate starter, reflected in his modest 2% start rate. Our models project him for 6.5 fantasy points on roughly three receptions and 29 yards against the Rams. Keep him rostered in deeper leagues, but wait for more consistent weekly volume before trusting him in lineups.

Outlook Kalif Raymond
Kalif Raymond vs. Jets — Surging target volume boosts appeal as a sneaky flex option
Raymond briefly visited the medical tent on Monday but quickly returned and is fully healthy heading into Week 4. Operating as Chicago's starting slot receiver alongside Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, the veteran has surprisingly paced the Bears with 19 receptions for 214 yards through three games. Fantasy managers have taken note, pushing his roster rate above 63%.
Our projections slate him for around 4 catches and 43 yards (9.5 fantasy points) against New York, making him a viable PPR flex. However, monitor the status of quarterback Caleb Williams, as his hamstring injury could downgrade Chicago's passing efficiency in a low-scoring home matchup.
