Why It Matters: With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) both inactive, Lemon was the de facto lead receiver on Monday night. He acquitted himself well, though most of his work was done near the line of scrimmage, and even recorded his first NFL touchdown. It's the first real sign of life from Lemon this season as the first-round pick did little in Weeks 1-6. We'll see where Smith and Wicks are at in terms of availability for Week 7, though you can make a case that the rookie is worth carrying on your roster now as a WR5 with some potential juice as the season wears
on.
