News: 18 hours agoLemon and Darius Cooper profile as the top wide receivers for QB Joe Milton's first start in an Eagles uniform Sunday against the Giants, per PhiladelphiaEagles.com.

Spin: DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) both are out for a third straight game. Lemon led the team in targets the past two weeks, putting up receiving lines of 7-67-1 and 6-57-0 against the Cowboys and Commanders, respectively. He'll likely be a focal point of the passing game again, though Milton may be more inclined to look downfield toward Cooper or Hollywod Brown in situations where Tanner McKee would throw a shorter pass to Lemon or a TE/RB.

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.
