STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

First-round pick with predictable slow start; Eagles not running his designed concepts.

Makai Lemon, a first-round pick, is having the most predictable slow start of all time. The theory of the case for Lemon was that he would run a lot of out cuts off under-center play action (similar to what the Packers did with Jaden Reed), but the Eagles are not doing any of that stuff at this point. Matt Harmon sees him but notes he should not be the number one perimeter player on the Eagles. There is no clear path forward for Lemon from a fantasy standpoint this week.
