Makai Lemon

The Eagles signed No. 20 overall pick WR Makai Lemon to a four-year contract.

Fantasy Impact

Lemon’s $20.8 million deal is fully guaranteed and includes an $11.5 million signing bonus. The Eagles traded up to draft him earlier this month with the expectation that AJ Brown will be traded in June. Lemon should open the season as the No. 2 wide receiver for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.

The Philadelphia Eagles have selected WR Makai Lemon with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

With the rumors surrounding the impending trade of A.J. Brown, the Eagles traded up three spots to land Lemon with the 20th overall pick. And, the selection of Lemon certainly seems like the icing on the cake for a Brown deal. Primarily playing from the slot at USC, Lemon led the Trojans in receiving yards over the past two seasons. Lemon was projected to go much earlier in the draft, so the Eagles jumped ahead of the Steelers - who were also rumored to be targeting receivers in this year's draft - to grab him. Lemon is a tough slot receiver who should get plenty of yards after the catch. He'll join DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, and Hollywood Brown as the headliners of the receiving corps (assuming A.J. Brown is traded) for QB Jalen Hurts as the Eagles will look to spread the wealth a bit more offensively in 2026.
