Lemon at WR45 offers value with Brown gone and potential Eagles passing game increase.
Makai LemonPHI
Lemon is currently going as WR45 in PPR drafts despite significant value opportunity. The Eagles had a 52.5% passing play rate (27th in NFL) last season, but with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion they could increase passing volume. A.J. Brown's departure means 121 targets are leaving the team, and while DeVonta Smith should see the majority of remaining targets, there's room for Lemon to step up. The source notes Lemon catches everything and will be a reliable option for Jalen Hurts, and believes if he finishes as a low-end WR2 or better it wouldn't surprise him. The source calls Lemon his favorite wide receiver from the past year's draft.
