Outlook Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon vs CAR — Shorthanded Eagles Offense Caps Rookie's Weekly Upside
Lemon operates as Philadelphia's primary slot option and has earned 13 targets over his past two contests. However, the offense faces major disruption this week with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined by a calf injury, placing Tanner McKee under center in an outdoor matchup against Carolina.
Our projections anticipate Lemon totaling roughly 3 receptions for 28 yards, yielding 6.1 fantasy points. Given the meager 39-point game total and uncertain quarterback efficiency, Lemon carries limited scoring upside and is best treated as a bench stash in standard redraft formats.

Outlook Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals vs. Chargers — Minimal Usage Expected Despite Depleted Receiver Room
Kansas City faces Los Angeles with wide receivers Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton both ruled out, giving Royals an opportunity for added snaps on the perimeter. Even with vacated targets across the offense, Royals has drawn just two targets across his recent action, meaning Patrick Mahomes will likely lean more on Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy.
Our weekly projection pegs Royals for 1.6 catches and roughly 20 receiving yards on 3.3 targets (4.7 fantasy points). Kansas City sits as heavy favorites in an expected lower-scoring matchup, and with Royals rostered in just 2% of leagues, fantasy managers should leave him on the bench in standard formats.
