Lemon's usage has been horrendous... He's getting manufactured targets near the line of scrimmage for little and sometimes negative gains and very little downfield.
STACKED’s take
Horrendous usage in broken Eagles offense; looking to sell despite low cost.
Lemon faces an absolute nightmare scenario with the Eagles' poor passing game since 2025 and a worsening offensive line (Lane Johnson retired). The Eagles have been an efficient, low-volume passing offense at best; without efficiency, it's a nightmare for receivers with solid usage. Lemon's usage has been horrendous—he hasn't gotten many targets and hasn't done much with the ones given, receiving manufactured targets near the line of scrimmage for little and sometimes negative gains with very little downfield work. Jalen Hurts hasn't been good enough to support three wide receivers, and Saquon Barkley can't even get going. Lemon needs offensive line help, improved QB play, Dontayvion Wicks to not exist, and DeVonta Smith to earn fewer targets—a steep uphill battle. The source is looking to move Lemon even at his low cost for assets like Ty Simpson.
