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.

Outlook Mike Gesicki
Mike Gesicki vs TEN — Red-zone scoring surge meets low-volume reality
Gesicki enters Week 8 on historic footing after becoming the first tight end in franchise history to catch a touchdown in four straight games. While listed behind Drew Sample on the depth chart, recent injuries to Erick All Jr. and Tanner Hudson have thinned Cincinnati's tight end room, keeping Gesicki firmly locked into his specialized red-zone role for Joe Burrow.
However, his fantasy floor remains remarkably fragile due to sparse volume, having seen just one target last week. Our weekly projection forecasts roughly 2 to 3 receptions for 27 yards and 7.4 fantasy points against Tennessee, leaving him as a touchdown-dependent streaming option for tight-end-needy rosters.
