Results and expectations not aligning is the main driver of a fantasy value dip. So, we have another first-rounder; Lemon's unusable is a byproduct of the disappointing Eagles offense. He's seen several touches behind the line of scrimmage, averaging 6.5 yards per reception. A total of 15 targets has yielded 65 scoreless receiving with negative five rushing yards.

Negative signalBust

Lemon fell from first-round pedigree to dart-throw in hostile Eagles offense.

Lemon is ranked No. 10 among 2026 rookies but has fallen as a first-rounder; results and expectations are not aligning due to a disappointing Eagles offense; he has seen several touches behind the line of scrimmage, averaging 6.5 yards per reception, with 15 targets yielding 65 scoreless receiving yards and negative five rushing yards; Devonta Smith's hamstring injury may give him more opportunities, but the Eagles offensive environment is hostile to fantasy production, making him a dart-throw at this stage.
