Outlook Makai Lemon

Makai Lemon at Chicago — rookie slot receiver remains off fantasy radars

Lemon has operated as Philadelphia's primary slot receiver, but his rookie campaign has opened slowly with only four receptions for nine yards through two contests. While starting wideout DeVonta Smith missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury, Lemon has yet to carve out a consistent target share to capitalize on potential lineup openings.

Our weekly projection expects around two catches for 25 yards in what profiles as a low-scoring defensive battle against Chicago. Fantasy managers have steadily moved away from Lemon, with his roster rate sliding down to 61% and start rates hovering near 2%, making him a clear bench option until his role expands.

Outlook Cade Otton

Low-Ceiling Streaming Option in Week 3 Matchup Against Minnesota

Otton continues to anchor Tampa Bay's tight end room as the clear starter ahead of Payne Durham. He has served as a reliable underneath valve for Baker Mayfield through the first two games, turning 11 targets into eight receptions for 64 yards.

However, that short-area role caps his upside in what projects to be a tight matchup against the Vikings. Our models project Otton for roughly 3.8 receptions and 32 yards (7.9 fantasy points), keeping him off the radar in standard 12-team leagues. Rostered in just over 3% of leagues, he profiles strictly as a touchdown-dependent fill-in for deep formats.
