Makai Lemon vs. DAL — Opportunity Knocks in Shorthanded Eagles Offense

Lemon enters Week 7 fully healthy after briefly visiting the medical tent last week, and he suddenly finds himself in an elevated role. With both DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks ruled out, Lemon is poised to serve as a primary target in Philadelphia's depleted passing attack, catching passes from backup quarterback Tanner McKee.

Our weekly projection slots Lemon for roughly seven targets, 4.2 receptions, and 44 yards (10.1 fantasy points). Currently rostered in 37% of leagues and started in just 7%, he shapes up as an intriguing PPR flex option, though Philadelphia's backup-led offense keeps his scoring ceiling grounded.

Outlook Samaje Perine

Samaje Perine at Baltimore: Limited Workload in AFC North Clash

Perine operates as a complementary back in Cincinnati's offense behind Chase Brown. While he flashed two weeks ago with 14 carries and a receiving score, his baseline role remains restricted to change-of-pace work and occasional third-down duties. His roster percentage has crept up to 20%, but fantasy managers are largely treating him as an insurance stash rather than an active contributor.

Facing Baltimore on the road, our projections forecast a modest workload of roughly five carries for 20 rushing yards alongside one catch for nine yards (5.9 fantasy points). Started in just 4% of leagues, Perine lacks the touch volume or goal-line equity to warrant starting consideration outside of the deepest formats, making him a clear bench option this week.
