Lemon's usage without DeVonta Smith (and Dontayvion Wicks) is obviously way up. He's been the WR17 and WR15 in usage, respectively, with Tanner McKee over the past two games and had a garbage-time-filled nine targets on Sunday Night Football. There is no ceiling to chase in this offense with his forgettable long speed and short-area role, but if Smith is out, then Lemon can role-play as a fantasy WR3.

Lemon's usage spikes without Smith; WR3 floor if Smith remains out.

Lemon's usage without DeVonta Smith (and Dontayvion Wicks) is way up; he's been the WR17 and WR15 in usage, respectively, with Tanner McKee over the past two games and had a garbage-time-filled nine targets on Sunday Night Football. If Smith is out, Lemon can role-play as a fantasy WR3. On tape last week, Lemon was used in ways that play to his skill set, including a 20-yard catch on a deeper zone out route (his best work at USC) and sitting in zone coverage near the sticks countless times. However, his catch radius and forgettable speed are not those of a No. 1 WR, and there is no ceiling to chase in this offense.
