From the episode
If Devante Smith is running more of the quote, harder routes, you know, against press man coverage as the X receiver lemon is this layup guy, especially if Jalen hurts is like struggling in the new offense. I could see him get the ball out quick to Makai Lemon, even if it's not good for the offense.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalProjection
Lemon could outscore Smith in fantasy with quick-game volume if Hurts struggles.
Matt Harmon posits that Makai Lemon could outperform Devante Smith in fantasy despite Smith's higher draft position; Lemon is positioned to receive more layup targets, screens, and manufactured quick-game touches from the slot, whereas Smith runs harder perimeter X-receiver routes against press coverage. If Jalen Hurts struggles in the new Eagles offense and relies on quick throws, Lemon could accumulate fantasy points even if it's suboptimal for the offense. Harmon estimates a 2-in-10 simulation probability that Lemon outscores Smith.
