Makai Lemon vs. Rams — Elevated Slot Role With Key Targets Sidelined

Makai Lemon steps into an expanded role as Philadelphia's primary slot receiver with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert both ruled out for Week 4. After flashing big-play ability with a 19-yard reception last week, the coaching staff specifically noted plans to refine and expand their screen game to manufacture touches for the rookie.

Our projections slate Lemon for 4.1 receptions and 44 receiving yards (10.1 fantasy points), making him a viable Flex option in deeper formats. While his start rate sits near 11%, the sudden absence of the Eagles' top perimeter targets creates a noticeable boost in target share against a Rams defense traveling east.

Tyler Higbee at Philadelphia — Surging Usage Creates Streaming Appeal

Higbee exploded in Week 3 with eight receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. With fellow tight end Terrance Ferguson on injured reserve and Colby Parkinson questionable after missing Friday's practice, the veteran is positioned for another expanded role in the Rams' passing attack.

While he is rostered in just 3% of fantasy leagues, our weekly projection forecasts about 3.4 catches, 27 yards, and 8.3 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Considering his recent spike in volume and the potential for extra snaps if Parkinson sits, Higbee is an intriguing streaming option for tight end-needy managers.
