The Biletnikoff Award Winner is an ultra-competitive YAC demon capable of winning at all three levels of the field, though it's possible his route rate is closer to 60 percent than 80 percent if the Eagles are reluctant to fully feature him on the outside in two-WR sets. An easy top-5 pick in rookie drafts, but I'm at least a little concerned about the Year 1 upside.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Lemon's route rate uncertainty and rookie WR history suggest ADP overvalues Year 1 upside.

Biletnikoff Award Winner is ultra-competitive YAC demon capable of winning at all three levels, but route rate may be closer to 60 percent than 80 percent if Eagles reluctant to fully feature him on outside in two-WR sets. Easy top-5 pick in rookie drafts, but source concerned about Year 1 upside; only 13 rookie WRs posted top-24 PPR numbers in last decade. Ranked WR35; 51st in projected targets vs. WR35 ADP (-16 discrepancy).
