Makai Lemon at Washington — Rising rookie target in line for expanded volume

The rookie slot receiver has carved out an immediate niche, coming off a seven-catch, 67-yard outing that featured his first career touchdown from Tanner McKee. With Jalen Hurts out and both DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks battling injuries, Lemon's importance across the middle is growing rapidly in Philadelphia's offense.

Our projections forecast Lemon for approximately 3.8 receptions and 32 yards on around six targets, landing him near 8.6 fantasy points. His roster rate has surged to 48%, and while this road division matchup features a modest 40.5 over/under, Lemon's steady target volume makes him a worthy deep-league flex consideration.

Outlook Seth McGowan

Seth McGowan at Jacksonville — Handcuff Value on the Rise but Bench Profile Remains

Operating as the direct backup to Jonathan Taylor on the Colts' depth chart, McGowan has seen his roster rate jump to 40% following a season-high 11 carries for 46 yards in Week 7. Over the last two weeks, he has logged 15 rushing attempts while averaging 4.9 yards per carry, solidifying his role as Indianapolis' primary change-of-pace runner.

Despite the expanded touch share, McGowan remains strictly a premium handcuff rather than a viable standalone option. Facing Jacksonville as heavy road underdogs, a negative game script could further restrict secondary rushing opportunities. Our weekly projection expects around 4 carries for 17 yards and 2.8 fantasy points, making him a clear stash who belongs on fantasy benches.
