News: 2 days agoLemon caught three of six targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams.

Spin: Lemon had a chance to step into a more prominent role on offense in the absence of DeVonta Smith (hamstring), but he didn't really see an increase in production. The wide receiver's six targets are a new career high, but he now has registered three or fewer catches in all four games this season while never exceeding 30 receiving yards. Quarterback Jalen Hurts recorded only 93 total passing yards Sunday, so he'll have to be better for Lemon to see an increase in production in Week 5 versus Jacksonville.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Lemon was selected by the Eagles with the 20th overall pick of April's draft. Lemon is on the small side (5-foot-11, 192 pounds), but he posted a 3.04 YPRR (best in this rookie class) during his collegiate career, dropping only three of 190 career targets (his 1.6% drop rate also paced this class). Lemon, who aligned in the slot on 74% of his collegiate routes, posted a dominant 79-1,156-11 receiving line in 2025, while also contributing as a rusher (two TDs) and returner. With A.J. Brown now in New England, Lemon will battle Dontayvion Wicks for No. 2 work opposite DeVonta Smith. Lemon's skill set provides him with upside, but with plenty of mouths to feed in Philly's low-volume pass offense, he's best valued as a flex option in 2026.
