Makai Lemon was Tanner McKee's most-targeted receiver against the Commanders: 6 catches on 9 targets for 57 yards in Philadelphia's 27-10 loss on the road. The 9 targets were his most in a game this season. They were worth +1.0 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, +0.11 a target.
His longest came on the Eagles' second drive, tied 0-0: first and 10 at the Philadelphia 38, McKee threw deep left and Lemon caught it for 20 yards and ran out of bounds at the Washington 42, +1.4 EPA. The drive ended in Jake Elliott's 40-yard field goal. The rest was short: five catches of 6 to 9 yards. Tied 10-10 late in the half, a deep throw to him on third and 2 fell incomplete and Philadelphia punted, and down 16-10 in the fourth, first and 10 at the Washington 19, a short throw to him fell incomplete on the drive that ended in a missed field goal.
Per target it beat his season. Through Week 7 he had 25 catches on 36 targets for 194 yards and +2.4 EPA, +0.07 a target. A week earlier against Dallas he caught 7 of 8 for 67 yards and a touchdown.
