Results and expectations not aligning is the main driver of a fantasy value dip. So, we have another first-rounder; Lemon's unusable is a byproduct of the disappointing Eagles offense. He's seen several touches behind the line of scrimmage, averaging 6.5 yards per reception. A total of 15 targets has yielded 65 scoreless receiving with negative five rushing yards.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Lemon's 6.5 yards per reception and Eagles' poor offense make him a dart-throw.

Lemon is a first-rounder ranked No. 10 among top-10 fantasy rookies but has disappointed; results and expectations are not aligning. He has seen several touches behind the line of scrimmage, averaging 6.5 yards per reception. A total of 15 targets has yielded 65 scoreless receiving yards with negative five rushing yards. Devonta Smith's hamstring injury may give Lemon more opportunities, but the Eagles' offensive environment is hostile to fantasy production. He is a dart-throw for fantasy points at this stage of the season.
