Hmm. Fusue has Lemon as his WR1 right now. He’s super controversial and kind of a whack job to be honest, definitely goes against the grain, but has many hits over the years that have helped me in my fantasy leagues. Especially devy. This is from a few weeks ago but I saw a couple tweets yesterday where he mentioned he didn’t realize Lemon WR1 was controversial:
Always interesting to note down and follow up on later. I still need to look at Lemon. I was under the impression he was less JSN and more McConkey. Great slot but not necessarily a top-10 guy. Will have to dig in
Maybe a combo stylistically of JSN and McConkey. And Fusue isn't the only one who has him #1. He's typically, 2 or 3 but some have him as #1. He's #2 for me so far.
I've talked about him on this thread on and off. I don't think he has McConkey's speed. I was a big McConkey guy in that draft. But he has that baller side of him that does remind me some of him. JSN comps IMO because of his seperation skills and shiftiness.
I think he'd be a good get. I don't think as I mentioned a slot WR without size and likely without special speed goes top 10. That's why I suspect he ends up somewhere betweenm 10-20 and if so he's my favorite trade down target if they trade out of the top 10.
The reason why I am high on his ability to succeed in the NFL is he's a baller. It's hard to explain what that means but my version of that is you can feel his determination when watching him. He will go after the ball hard at the catch point, with the ball in his hands he's hard to take down. He plays bigger than his size.
To use the analogy to players who played slot here. Crowder was good, shifty and a smart route runner especially against zone and would make clutch plays -- Lemon is similar. But I didn't see Crowder as a baller. Lane and Dotson also IMO are not ballers. Lemon is different.
Similar to what I think about some RBs. Skattebo is a baller. I tallked up Monangai, too. I stopped some after posting about him because I noticed so few draftniks dug him so lol I started thinking maybe I am delusional since he played at Rutgers. But he's playing well for the Bears.
I sometimes get push back about players like that on draft threads because some are fixated on speed and combine measurables. And guys like Skattebo and Monangai are meh at best on that count. But there is something IMO about some players that play with an attitude and ferocity that just looks different when you watch them. And Lemon is that type of player for me.
