Makai Lemon vs Dallas: Sneaky Target Volume in Altered Eagles Offense

Lemon enters the matchup healthy after shaking off a minor injury scare last week. Operating as the starting slot receiver, the rookie could see expanded looks with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert battling injuries. With Tanner McKee under center, Lemon's steady role, drawing 13 targets over his past two games, keeps him actively involved in Philadelphia's passing attack.

Even with an elevated opportunity, Lemon profiles primarily as a deep-league PPR option. Our projections slate him for around 4 receptions and 28 yards on 6 targets (7.0 fantasy points). His shallow depth of target caps his yardage ceiling, but steady weekly volume provides a serviceable PPR floor if trailing game scripts force more passing.
