Lemon's slot role exploits Dallas's worst secondary weakness; flex upside.

Makai Lemon is someone who could pop off with a randomly strong game this week. So far this season, Lemon hasn't scored a touchdown and hasn't had more than 43 receiving yards in any game. Last week, Lemon had 89.6% route share with 11.1% target share, 6.20 aDOT, 19 receiving yards (0.44 YPRR), and 14.7% first-read share—none of which outside his route share is good. However, Dallas has been having issues stopping slot receivers. Dallas has allowed most yards per target, most receiving yards, and third-most fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers this season. Lemon is an intriguing flex this week.
