Outlook Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon vs. Dallas — Banged-Up Receiving Corps Opens Door for Slot Targets
Makai Lemon avoided any lingering issues after a brief medical tent visit last week and continues to serve as the Eagles' primary slot receiver. With quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined on injured reserve, backup Tanner McKee commands the offense while perimeter targets DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks manage mid-week practice limitations.
Lemon has drawn 13 targets over his past two games, though his shallow route tree has kept his yardage output modest. Our weekly projection tabs him for 2.4 catches and 23 receiving yards (5.1 fantasy points) against Dallas. While Philadelphia could lean on short passes as home underdogs, Lemon's capped yardage and low touchdown equity make him best left on fantasy benches.

Outlook Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs at Detroit — Murky Workload Ahead of Potential Season Debut
Jacobs returned to practice this week after being removed from the exempt list, but head coach Matt LaFleur labeled his Sunday status as undetermined. LaFleur noted Jacobs could face a limited workload after missing the first six games. While he leads Green Bay's depth chart, he likely shares touches with MarShawn Lloyd and Pierre Strong Jr. while ramping up his conditioning.
Our weekly projections currently sit at zero points due to his uncertain availability, making him a bench candidate in standard formats despite an enticing, high-scoring dome matchup. Starting him carries significant risk of a low touch count. Monitor his late-week status closely and keep him reserved until his lead role is officially restored.
