Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings on Makai Lemon
ArticleHayden Winks 2026 Half-PPR rankings analysis: Makai Lemon
From the article
We should be working under the assumption A.J. Brown will be traded after June 1st (likely to the Patriots), and there's no real competition for Lemon to be the sidekick to DeVonta Smith. Lemon will play the slot in 3-WR sets, but he should beat out Marquise Brown and Dontayvion Wicks in 2-WR sets, too, even if that doesn't happen in Week 1. Lemon is tough, smart, and catches everything. He was nasty working quick outs, something Jalen Hurts is comfortable with. There will be some new wrinkles with a new offensive coordinator, but the Hurts offense is the Hurts offense. Don't expect a ton of volume, and don't expect Lemon to go toe-to-toe with Smith, who is a little slept on as a potential top-10 real life NFL receiver. For context here, Brown was the WR15 on WR17 usage, while Smith was the WR30 on WR35 usage. That was a down year for all involved.
