Eagles' Makai Lemon: Team-high six catches in Week 9 loss
Lemon caught six of nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 19-11 loss to the Giants.
Lemon showed a nice rapport with QB Joe Milton in Milton's first NFL start, as the rookie first-round pick led the Eagles in catches, receiving yards and targets. Lemon has operated as Philadelphia's de facto No. 1 WR while DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) have both missed the past three games, but the Eagles could get at least one of their top two wideouts back in Week 11 against the Steelers following a Week 10 bye.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Set for featured role again
Lemon and Darius Cooper profile as the top wide receivers for QB Joe Milton's first start in an Eagles uniform Sunday against the Giants, per PhiladelphiaEagles.com.
DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) both are out for a third straight game. Lemon led the team in targets the past two weeks, putting up receiving lines of 7-67-1 and 6-57-0 against the Cowboys and Commanders, respectively. He'll likely be a focal point of the passing game again, though Milton may be more inclined to look downfield toward Cooper or Hollywod Brown in situations where Tanner McKee would throw a shorter pass to Lemon or a TE/RB.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Leads team with six catches for 57 yards
Lemon caught six of nine targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Commanders.
Lemon has stepped up as Philadelphia's de facto No. 1 receiver in the ongoing absences of DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle). After setting career highs across the board with seven catches for 67 yards and his first NFL touchdown on eight targets in Week 7 against the Cowboys, Lemon led the Eagles in catches, receiving yards and targets Sunday night. The rookie 20th overall pick is building momentum ahead of a Week 9 home game against the Giants, but his target share would likely drop if Smith gains clearance to return.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Philly's top WR for Week 8
Lemon will be the Eagles' top wide receiver for a second consecutive game due to the absences of both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle).
Smith and Wicks have both been held out of practice for the last two weeks while tending to their respective injuries, and they'll both observe Sunday night's NFC East tilt from the sidelines. The Eagles' offense has struggled with Tanner McKee under center in place of Jalen Hurts (calf, IR), although Lemon still put together his best game of the season against the Cowboys on Monday, when he caught seven of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown. Lemon, Darius Cooper and Hollywood Brown will be the Eagles' top wide receivers against a Commanders defense that ranks 29th in the NFL in passing touchdowns allowed (15) and 28th in passing yards allowed per game (254.0)

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Paces pass catchers in Week 7 loss
Lemon brought in seven of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 38-21 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night.
Lemon operated as the Eagles' de facto No. 1 receiver on a night where both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were sidelined, and the rookie met the moment by posting career- and team-high figures across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Lemon rounded out his solid performance by recording his first NFL touchdown catch on a four-yard scoring grab with just under six minutes remaining in the third quarter. Lemon could have another opportunity to spearhead the air attack in a Week 8 road matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night, as both Smith and Wicks may be hard-pressed to get healthy enough to suit up for that contest.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Records 19 yards in Week 6 loss
Lemon caught three of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 25-14 loss to the Panthers.
The rookie wideout briefly exited Week 6 with an undisclosed injury but quickly returned and ended up running a team-high 45 routes on Tanner McKee's 49 dropbcks. It still didn't result in much production, as Lemon's six targets were a distant third on the team. The first-round wide receiver has just 18 catches for 127 yards and no touchdowns on 28 targets through six games. He can't be trusted as a fantasy starter headed into next Monday night's game against the Cowboys.

Lemon visited the sideline tent in the third quarter but was able to reenter the game in the fourth. With Dontayvion Wicks (undisclosed) leaving the game in the final period, Lemon and DeVonta Smith figure to serve as the top WRs available to fill-in QB Tanner McKee the rest of the way.
