From the episode
Don Tavian Wicks had 73 yards. You put that 78 more than Makai Lemon... The Eagles really had just one plan for Makai Lemon and it was just bubble screen to death... He got blown up for losses twice on them... I'm bearish on Lemon's near-term outlook.
STACKED’s take
Lemon limited to bubble screens in Week 1; bearish near-term but willing to buy the dip.
Lemon had 73 yards in Week 1, which was 78 more than Don Tavian Wicks, but the source notes the Eagles had just one plan for Lemon: bubble screen to death, which was very predictable and resulted in him getting blown up for losses twice. The source is bearish on Lemon's near-term outlook and was skeptical in the rookie expectations episode about whether Lemon would be out there in three-receiver sets until a good chunk of the way through the season. However, the source notes Lemon's upside is that he's having a worse start than Eli Stowers (who was put on IR), meaning the Eagles will likely run plenty of three-receiver sets, and the source believes in Lemon's talent and is willing to buy on the dip.
