Makai Lemon Week 2 Outlook - Eagles at Titans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Last week, Makai Lemon was Philly's starting slot receiver (64.3% slot). While he only played 66% of the snaps, he had an 84.8% route share, so he was on the field when Philly was looking to pass which honestly is good for Lemon, but not great for Philly. If defenses are looking for a tell for when Philly is looking to pass, Lemon could be an easy one to spot with this split if his overall playing time doesn't increase in Week 2. Lemon had only a 16% target share while seeing only manufactured targets around the line of scrimmage. Lemon had a -0.25 aDOT with three receptions, five receiving yards, and 50% of his targets coming on designed looks. In a low passing volume offense, Lemon isn't even flex worthy with this type of usage. I hope his role continues to evolve, but if this is how his usage remains all season he'll be tough to trust even in a flex spot. Sit Lemon in Week 2.
