Makai Lemon

Makai Lemon enters the NFL with elite collegiate production and first-round draft capital after the Eagles aggressively traded up to secure the former USC standout. Lemon offers inside-outside versatility and was one of the most efficient perimeter receivers in college football despite being viewed by some as slot-only. The biggest obstacle to immediate fantasy relevance is target competition in Philadelphia, where DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert already command significant volume. Still, Lemon's talent and long-term upside make him an intriguing bench stash and rookie breakout candidate if the Eagles improve their passing attack under new OC Sean Mannion (McVay/Shanahan-type offense).

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.
