Eagles' Makai Lemon: Uninspiring performance in loss
Lemon caught three of six targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams.
Lemon had a chance to step into a more prominent role on offense in the absence of DeVonta Smith (hamstring), but he didn't really see an increase in production. The wide receiver's six targets were a new career high, but he has now registered three or fewer catches in all four games this season while never exceeding 30 receiving yards. Quarterback Jalen Hurts recorded only 93 total passing yards Sunday, so he'll have to better for Lemon to see an increase in production Week 5 versus Jacksonville.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Larger role sans Smith
Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks will both operate in larger roles against the Rams on Sunday due to the absence of DeVonta Smith (hamstring), Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
The rookie first-rounder has seen his receiving yards steadily increase over the first three games of the regular season, and with Smith sidelined for at least one week, Lemon will have the opportunity to establish himself as a go-to target in the passing game for Jalen Hurts. The Rams will be without starting outside cornerback Jaylen Watson (shoulder), so whomever Los Angeles rolls out as a replacement could be a target that Lemon and the Eagles offense exploits.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Notches three receptions in loss
Lemon recorded three receptions for 29 yards on four targets in Monday's 27-7 loss to the Bears.
After taking the field for north of 60 percent of the snaps in both of the Eagles' first two contests, Lemon wasn't a major beneficiary of the absence of tight end Dallas Goedert (knee). Even though the Eagles leaned more heavily on three-wide formations, Lemon saw only a slight uptick in playing time Monday, logging 35 of 50 snaps (70 percent). The rookie first-round pick appears to be little more than a tertiary option in the passing game at this stage of his career, as he's thus far been held to seven catches for 38 yards on nine targets through his first three NFL games.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Logs 14-yard catch in Week 2 win
Lemon caught his lone target for 14 yards while turning one carry into minus-5 yards during the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Lemon recorded minus-5 receiving yards on three catches during his NFL debut against the Commanders in Week 1. He was at least able to stay in the positive against Tennessee with a 14-yard catch on the last play of the third quarter, which moved the chains on third-and-8 and led to a two-yard touchdown run by Tank Bigsby four plays later. Lemon saw his workload in training camp severely limited due to a hamstring injury, so it may take a few weeks for the rookie first-rounder to ramp up his production. That said, with Dallas Goedert set to miss multiple weeks due to a sprained MCL, Lemon could operate in an elevated role in the passing game, starting with the Eagles' Week 3 road tilt against the Bears on Monday, Sept. 28.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Abnormal stat line in regular-season debut
Lemon caught three of four targets for minus-five yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Commanders.
Lemon reeled in a three-yard catch on the team's first possession of the game before later adding a pair of receptions that combined to lose eight yards. The Eagles are operating under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion this season, and they'll look to find more productive ways to get the wide receiver involved Week 2 against the Titans.

Eagles' Makai Lemon: Listed as starting receiver, punt returner
Lemon is listed as a starting wide receiver for the Eagles and their top punt returner on the unofficial depth chart released Tuesday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
The rookie joins DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks as the top three receivers on the depth chart, though Wicks may be prioritized ahead of Lemon in two-wide sets to begin the season. Wicks turned in a strong training camp, while Lemon spent considerable time on the sideline while tending to a hamstring injury. The first-round pick will likely need to impress early in the season before pushing past Wicks as the No. 2 receiver.
