Outlook Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon @ WAS — Expanded Opportunity in a Depleted Receiving Corps
Makai Lemon enters Week 8 with clear momentum after securing his first career touchdown reception last week. With DeVonta Smith sidelined by a hamstring injury and Dontayvion Wicks also ruled out, the rookie slot receiver is positioned for steady volume as a primary target for quarterback Tanner McKee.
Fantasy managers have responded quickly, driving Lemon's roster rate to 65% with a 31% start rate. Our models project him for around 4 receptions, 32 receiving yards, and nearly 6 targets. While the offense carries volatility in a projected low-scoring divisional road matchup, Lemon offers viable flex appeal for managers needing target floor.

Corey Kiner at Miami — Stepping Into an Expanded Backfield Role
With TreVeyon Henderson ruled out due to an illness, Kiner is slated to serve as the direct complement to Rhamondre Stevenson in New England's backfield. The Patriots visit Miami as solid favorites against a struggling 1–5 Dolphins squad, creating a favorable game script that could yield valuable second-half carries on the ground.
Our weekly projection slots Kiner for roughly 8 carries, 34 rushing yards, and around 6.5 fantasy points. While his roster rate recently nudged up to 6% following the backfield shakeup, a lack of receiving work keeps him as a touchdown-dependent deep-league option rather than a reliable starting option in standard formats.
