Makai Lemon — Active

Lemon operated as the Eagles' de facto No. 1 receiver on a night where both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were sidelined, and the rookie met the moment by posting career- and team-high figures across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Lemon rounded out his solid performance by recording his first NFL touchdown catch on a four-yard scoring grab with just under six minutes remaining in the third quarter. Lemon could have another opportunity to spearhead the air attack in a Week 8 road matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night, as both Smith and Wicks may be hard-pressed to get healthy enough to suit up for that contest.

The rookie wideout briefly exited Week 6 with an undisclosed injury but quickly returned and ended up running a team-high 45 routes on Tanner McKee's 49 dropbcks. It still didn't result in much production, as Lemon's six targets were a distant third on the team. The first-round wide receiver has just 18 catches for 127 yards and no touchdowns on 28 targets through six games. He can't be trusted as a fantasy starter headed into next Monday night's game against the Cowboys.

Lemon visited the sideline tent in the third quarter but was able to reenter the game in the fourth. With Dontayvion Wicks (undisclosed) leaving the game in the final period, Lemon and DeVonta Smith figure to serve as the top WRs available to fill-in QB Tanner McKee the rest of the way.

Lemon was able to set new career highs in receptions and receiving yards Sunday, finishing second on the team in targets behind fellow wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (eight). The rookie is slowly coming into his own with Philadelphia, and he's had an opportunity to operate in a more prominent role with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) sidelined for the last two games. Lemon has now caught 15 of 22 targets for 108 yards over the first five contests of the 2026 campaign.

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.

Lemon, a rookie first-rounder, has seen his receiving yards steadily increase over the first three games of the regular season, and with Smith sidelined for at least one week, the former will have the opportunity to establish himself as a go-to target in the passing game for Jalen Hurts. The Rams will be without starting outside cornerback Jaylen Watson (shoulder), so whomever Los Angeles rolls out as a replacement could be a target that Lemon and the Eagles offense exploits.

After taking the field for north of 60 percent of the snaps in both of the Eagles' first two contests, Lemon wasn't a major beneficiary of the absence of tight end Dallas Goedert (knee). Even though the Eagles leaned more heavily on three-wide formations, Lemon saw only a slight uptick in playing time Monday, logging 35 of 50 snaps (70 percent). The rookie first-round pick appears to be little more than a tertiary option in the passing game at this stage of his career, as he's thus far been held to seven catches for 38 yards on nine targets through his first three NFL games.
