Makai Lemon Fantasy Football Outlook 2026: Beast or Bust?
Makai Lemon Fantasy Football Outlook 2026: Beast or Bust?
By Muntradamus
BEAST DOME NATION.
Makai Lemon wishes he was Amon Ra St. Brown. Lemon wishes he was prime Cooper Kupp. Lemon is the Temu version of both of these players. He is not very fast, he is not that shifty in the slot. He essentially was thrown into that role at USC, and looked good in the role, not superstar, just good. The problem is, USC is not the NFL, he is not going to be open, he is not going to get quick throws. Lemon is going to be covered instantly, and he is not fast enough or strong enough to get open.
With the Eagles getting rid of AJ Brown, people think that means Lemon is going to have a big season. No way, if anything it just means Lemon is going to do far worse. Defenses do not need to send safety help towards AJ’s side anymore. Jalen Hurts will not have the patience to watch Lemon run in quick sand while his defender is more open than Lemon is. The Eagles really messed up with this pick. Every single WR we will cover in the Rookie Bootcamp would have been a better pick than Makai Lemon.
FANTASY FOOTBALL BEAST OR BUST
MAKAI LEMON
2026 BUST
FUTURE BUST
To make matters worst for Lemon with his time on the Eagles. Hollywood Brown and Dontayvion Wicks are far better WRs than Lemon will ever be in his career. Would not be surprised to see Lemon put up Waiver Wire numbers and not be close to any Fantasy Football roster. The snap count will be way too low.
2026 Projection: 51 receptions, 442 yards, 3 TDs.
That is what 3 catches for 26 Yards looks like averaged over a Full season with the rare TD.
*Last note, after writing this article I then searched the Rookie Card of Lemon and found that. What a douche, guy really thinks he’s all that and a bag of potato chips. He is not fast at all in the slot, Wes Welker last year in Denver is better than Lemon now. That is an insult to Welker, Danny Amendola is better than Lemon.
Ranked Ashton Jeanty a BUST in 2025.
Last Season I predicted Travis Hunter would be a BUST & Matthew Golden.
Most famously Marvin Harrison Jr. his Rookie Season.
We are now in full swing of Boot Camp. The offensive rookies who will make a general impact have been scouted enough to know who they are and what they can do. Over the course of this week you will get two articles a day going over these new offensive rookies. One step at a time it takes to create the ultimate Fantasy Football Draft Guide. You can watch me boot camp on Kick.com/BEASTDOME and be ahead of the curve.
