Outlook Makai Lemon

Makai Lemon at Washington — Rising Slot Volume Fuels Flex Appeal

Lemon capitalized on an expanded role last week, securing his first career touchdown from Tanner McKee on seven receptions. Operating as the Eagles' primary slot receiver, the rookie has earned 14 targets over his last two contests and could see steady looks with injuries impacting the Philadelphia pass-catching group.

Facing Washington in a projected negative game script as road underdogs, Lemon should remain active underneath. Our weekly projection slots him for around 3 receptions and 29 yards (7.0 PPR points), making him an intriguing deep-league flex or high-upside bench stash while his 11% start rate steadily trends up.
