Lemon's hamstring injury and missed camp make him undraftable at WR46 ADP.

Lemon, the Eagles' pick at 20th overall and hopefully heir to A.J. Brown, has remained sidelined at practice for two weeks due to a lingering hamstring injury. The source hates soft tissue issues in August. Missing this much of training camp and the preseason is particularly concerning for a rookie wide receiver, as they usually take longer to acclimate and produce for fantasy and this is only going to extend that timeline. At ADP 119.6 (↓ 10.9), Lemon is ranked as WR65 by the source, which makes him essentially undraftable at his current ADP of WR46. It's not impossible that he rights the ship and ends up a huge value (especially with DeVonta Smith also banged up), but as of right now, the source would rather take the shot on one of the several rookie wideouts with fewer red flags, like De'Zhaun Stribling, Ja'Kobi Lane or KC Concepcion.
