Makai Lemon caught 6-of-9 targets for 61 yards in the Eagles’ Week 9 loss to the Giants.

Lemon again led this limited offense in receiving as Joe Milton made his first start under center, but he hurt the cause with a handful of drops, including a particularly brutal one with the Eagles desperately trying to tie the game late. Lemon now has at least six catches in three straight games but has not reached 70 yards in the process. In other words, he is posting empty PPR volume. That will remain the “thesis of the play” when the Eagles come off bye in Week 11, though the return of either DeVonta Smith or Dontayvion Wicks would take a major bite out of Lemon’s WR3 appeal.
