Makai Lemon Poised for Expanded Slot Role with Key Pass Catchers Sidelined
With DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert ruled out, Lemon should see elevated work operating as Philadelphia's primary slot receiver. The rookie flashed his playmaking ability with a 19-yard catch last week, and the coaching staff highlighted plans to refine their screen game to manufacture touches for him in space.
Our projections peg Lemon for approximately 3.7 catches and 40 receiving yards (around 9.1 fantasy points), giving him modest PPR utility against the Rams. Although rostered in just over half of leagues and rarely started, his spike in opportunity makes him an intriguing deeper-league streaming option.

Ted Hurst vs. Green Bay — Opportunity Knocks Amid Quarterback Uncertainty
Rookie wide receiver Ted Hurst has stepped into an increased role on the outside, especially with Jalen McMillan recently landing on injured reserve. However, Tampa Bay's passing attack faces significant hurdles this week with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield ruled out due to a thumb injury.
While Hurst caught a 40-yard touchdown last week and has garnered 10 targets over his past two games, quarterback volatility limits his immediate fantasy viability. In a matchup with a low projected point total, our projections expect roughly 2 catches for 30 yards, keeping him on the fantasy bench outside of deep-league stashes.
