News: 2 hours agoLemon caught six of nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 19-11 loss to the Giants.

Spin: Lemon showed a nice rapport with QB Joe Milton in Milton's first NFL start, as the rookie first-round pick led the Eagles in catches, receiving yards and targets. Lemon has operated as Philadelphia's de facto No. 1 WR while DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) have both missed the past three games, but the Eagles could get at least one of their top two wideouts back in Week 11 against the Steelers following a Week 10 bye.

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.
