Eagles rookie has 114+ target floor and WR2 upside in A.J. Brown void
Makai LemonPHI
Drafted by the Eagles to replace A.J. Brown, Lemon has the makings of an Amon-Ra St. Brown comp. Calling him only a short-to-intermediate, middle-of-the-field receiver is disrespectful; he was third among Power Four conferences for receptions of 20+ yards (19) and can play outside and go deep. His opportunity is to fill the void alongside DeVonta Smith. Looking at the past two seasons, Brown averaged 132.4 targets for a 17-game pace while Smith averaged 114.4. Even if Lemon only gets Smith's targets, he's walking into 114 targets, giving him WR3 value with WR2 upside. While unlikely, Lemon finishing ahead of Smith wouldn't be shocking.
