Lemon got his first quality target in this game, however, and converted on a really nice 14-yard catch. He broke nicely on a route, Jalen Hurts hit him right in the middle of the field and he caught the pass with bodies around. Those are the kinds of plays the Eagles need from Lemon, especially out of the slot. As the season goes on, I expect Lemon's usage increases as a middle of the field target as Hurts targets that area of the field more and more.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Lemon's first quality target shows slot upside; usage expected to increase.

Makai Lemon received his first quality target in Week 2 against Tennessee and converted on a 14-yard catch, breaking nicely on a route and catching the pass with bodies around. The source expects Lemon's usage to increase as a middle-of-the-field slot target as the season progresses and Jalen Hurts targets that area more frequently, despite early-season struggles with screens and shuffle passes that produced negative yardage in Weeks 1 and 2.
