From the episode

they just don't have any tight ends or wide receivers that can block for him...he's best on seam routes...if the Eagles are trailing to the Rams here, I can see Makai lemon sneaking up getting seven, eight targets in this one.

STACKED’s take

Lemon's best on seams/out routes; desperation play if Eagles trail Rams.

Makai Lemon has not been used correctly by the Eagles; screens have not gone anywhere due to lack of tight ends and wide receivers who can block for him. Lemon is best on out routes and seam routes with more contested catch ability and physicality than most slot wide receivers. This week without DeVante Smith and Dallas Goddard, Lemon will face a really good Rams defense and Trent McDuffie, which presents poor matchup odds. However, if the Eagles are trailing, Lemon could sneak up with seven to eight targets, making him a desperation play and must-add in most leagues.
