STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Lemon is a fade due to injury, target competition, and limited team pass volume.

Michael Leone is fading Makai Lemon, noting that he missed significant camp time with a hamstring injury and faces competition from Wicks for two-receiver sets. ETR projects Lemon for an 18% base target share, but Leone warns that target share may condense toward Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith, and Jalen Hurts' rushing usage could further limit pass volume.
