From the episode
27 for 87 yards and a touchdown. So the breakout is on. And yeah, Devontae Smith can't come back fully healthy... nagging hamstring injuries, you know, like there's a risk of re-injury coming back. And Lemon could really take the second half of this season and climb in value if he does well with it.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalBreakout
Lemon's breakout accelerating with Smith sidelined; could reach 2028 first value.
Lemon is emerging as a breakout candidate with the Eagles retooling and potentially shutting down Devontae Smith due to recurring hamstring issues. Against Dallas in week 7, Lemon had 7 catches on 8 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. With favorable upcoming matchups (Washington, New York, Dallas again, Arizona, Indianapolis), the source projects Lemon could reach a 2028 first in value by season's end if he continues producing. The source notes Lemon was originally drafted around pick 103-104 and is worth buying on rebuilding teams, especially given the Eagles' potential coaching staff changes and Jalen Hurts' season-ending injury.
