2025 Receiving Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lemon had a breakout season in 2024, and late-season surges against Notre Dame (9-133) and Texas A&M (6-99) cemented him as USC's top wideout, leading the team in yardage (764) and receptions (52). Lemon's ascension was somewhat of a surprise considering the logjam of talent available in the wide receiver room last season, but key departures from Zachariah Branch and Duce Robinson will guarantee Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane as Jayden Maiava's top targets. Lemon has drawn comparisons to Amon-Ra St. Brown, a former Trojan receiver who's had tremendous success in the NFL. At 5-11, Lemon has strong YAC numbers and uses speed and precise route running to give passers an open gap. Thanks to Lincoln Riley's dynamic playbook, Lemon could rise near the top of the Big Ten receiver rankings and boost Maiva's stock in the process. Read Past Outlooks

Leads all receivers in victory
Lemon recorded seven receptions (on eight targets) for 90 yards during Saturday's 73-13 victory versus Missouri State.
ANALYSIS
Lemon's only blemish was failing to find the end zone in the high-scoring affair. Otherwise, Lemon picked up where he left off last season as Maiava's favorite target. If USC's production remains high, Lemon could emerge as one of the country's most prolific wideouts. He also accumulated his totals over just two quarters.
