Overview
- In Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants, Lemon caught six of nine targets for 61 yards but had a couple of notable drops that drew attention to his hands and focus.
- Lemon told reporters he lost focus on the plays and said his fix is simple: catch as many balls as he can and keep doing the same work in practice.
- In recent games Lemon’s target share and snap count rose because DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks were unavailable and the Eagles used different quarterbacks, which increased his on-field responsibilities.
- The rookie began the year with limited integration into Jalen Hurts’ game plan and entered this stretch with 31 catches for 251 yards and one touchdown, showing a slow start followed by a more sustained role.
- Coaches and fans will watch whether Lemon can turn his current consistency streak into reliable production, since improved hands would convert his higher target volume into more first downs and scoring chances for the struggling Eagles offense.
