Expert Note
View More NotesIn leagues where Makai Lemon remains unrostered, this might be a final buying opportunity.
Howie Roseman, widely regarded as one of the best GMs in the league, traded up to select Lemon with the 20th overall pick in this year's draft. Lemon was superb in his final season at USC, finishing with 79 catches for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns to earn the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the finest receiver in the country. Lemon averaged better than 3.00 yards per route run against both man and zone coverage.
Lemon has 4-9-0 on five targets through two games, and his average depth of target is just 2.6 yards. His usage thus far has been ... curious.
It will be interesting to see how Lemon fares against Chicago on Monday night. The Bears' defense is among the worst in the league, and their best slot corner, Kyler Gordon, is out with a calf injury.
If Lemon pops in a nationally televised standalone game, bidding on him could be robust this week in leagues where he's available. But even if Lemon doesn't have a big game on Monday, he still might be a worthwhile bet based on the talent he displayed in college and the investment the Eagles made in him.

Fantasy Impact
Lemon turned in his best game as a pro on Monday night, finishing third on the team in targets and second in catches. The rookie wideout has now caught seven passes for 38 yards through three games. He remains a bench stash in fantasy heading into Week 4 against the Rams.
