Makai Lemon vs. Rams — Developing Slot Role Still Awaiting Fantasy Breakthrough

The rookie slot receiver showed a glimpse of his upside last week against Chicago, ripping off a season-best 19-yard gain as Philadelphia continues to expand his offensive role organically. While Lemon is operating as the starting slot receiver, he has caught just four passes across his last two games as he steadily earns trust from Jalen Hurts following a preseason marred by hamstring setbacks.

With Dallas Goedert and Hollywood Brown both nursing injuries, Lemon could see a slight uptick in targets, but our projections anticipate modest output with 2.5 receptions for 25 yards (5.8 fantasy points). Rostered in 54% of leagues but started in just 3%, fantasy managers should keep Lemon parked on the bench until his weekly target share becomes reliable.

Emmett Johnson at LV — Expanding Change-of-Pace Role in High-Scoring AFC West Showdown

Serving as the direct backup to Kenneth Walker in Kansas City's backfield, Emmett Johnson has earned high praise from head coach Andy Reid and running backs coach DeMarco Murray over the past two weeks. Reid noted plans to gradually expand Johnson's snap share to relieve Walker's heavy workload, giving the rookie steady opportunities on both early downs and passing situations.

Despite his ascending profile and roster rate climbing to nearly 46%, Johnson remains started in just 3% of leagues. Our weekly projection slates him for 4.8 fantasy points on roughly 4 to 5 rushes and a catch against Las Vegas. In a game with shootout potential, Johnson is not yet trustworthy for starting lineups, but he makes for an appealing bench stash with contingency value.
