Makai Lemon Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Makai Lemon was targeted nine times in Philadelphia's 27-10 loss at Washington, catching six passes for 57 yards. The target total was the most of his rookie season, following seven receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown against Dallas. The Eagles' offense is struggling to finish drives with Tanner McKee at quarterback, but Lemon has become a frequent short-area option. His longest reception went for 20 yards, and the team has used him to keep possessions moving rather than as a primary deep threat.

Lemon has 31 catches for 251 yards and one touchdown through eight games. Thirteen of those receptions have come in the past two outings, so the rising involvement is a meaningful development even though the yardage remains limited. PFM ranks him WR39 for Week 9 against the Giants and WR42 rest of season. He needs more targets in scoring position and a more productive passing offense to turn that opportunity into stronger fantasy results. The last two weeks provide a better reason for optimism than the overall touchdown count.
