STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Lemon's Week 1 usage was odd; finished with negative five yards despite 29 snaps.

Makai Lemon received 29 receiver snaps (third-most at position) in Week 1 but finished with negative five yards on 3 catches from 4 targets, with two catches on doomed screens and one short perimeter target. The source notes his usage was odd given his skill set and that he should live in the slot to get him going, but acknowledges his slow start was expected due to hamstring injury limiting offseason participation. The Eagles are still figuring out how to deploy him after DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks.
