Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with multiple injuries. Lamb injured his back in practice last Saturday and was questionable to play on Monday night in the loss to the Houston Texans, but he was active and played 80% of the offensive snaps on his way to eight catches for 93 yards. The 25-year-old pass-catcher must have picked up a foot injury on Monday, and his practice status will be monitored closely to close out the week. The most likely scenario is that the Cowboys are giving their star receiver a little rest on a short week before he faces the division-rival Washington Commanders this Sunday. Lamb's fantasy value isn't as high now that quarterback Cooper Rush is starting under center for the Cowboys, but his Week 11 production shows why he should stay in all starting fantasy lineups if he's active.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb turned 12 targets into eight catches for 93 yards during Monday's loss to the Houston Texans. He also tallied a 13-yard rush. Even with the Cowboys' offense faltering under Cooper Rush, Lamb was able to be productive, turning in 18-plus fantasy points (PPR) for the fourth time this season. This was his highest fantasy point total this season in a game where he failed to find the end zone. The Cowboys' No. 1 receiver should continue to see heavy volume moving forward, which will allow him to remain in the low-end WR1 tier for fantasy purposes.

As expected, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, shoulder) is officially active on Monday night to face off against the Houston Texans. Lamb came into Week 11 preparation nursing a shoulder injury but then popped up on the injury report on Saturday due to a back injury and was listed as questionable. The Cowboys never seemed terribly worried that Lamb would miss Monday's game, though. Although Lamb's fantasy ceiling and floor have dropped considerably with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the year, he still belongs in most starting fantasy lineups on a weekly basis. The 25-year-old caught six of his 10 targets for 21 yards in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and will look to do better on Monday with quarterback Cooper Rush throwing him the ball. Dallas will likely have to pass frequently to keep up with Houston.

According to a team source, "everything right now is pointing for him to play" in reference to Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's (back, shoulder) status for Monday night's contest against the Houston Texans. Lamb was already dealing with a shoulder injury but also popped up as questionable for the Week 11 game after suffering a back injury in practice on Saturday. Barring a setback with his back during pre-game warmups, the 25-year-old should be active against Houston, where he should serve as quarterback Cooper Rush's top target in the passing game. In the first game without Dak Prescott (hamstring) in last week's blowout loss to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, Lamb had six catches for just 21 yards on 10 targets. He has seen double-digit targets in each of the last four games, but with Prescott done for the year, Lamb's rest-of-season fantasy upside will take a big hit.
Nov 18, 2024 12:52 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back) is expected to suit up on Monday night against the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old popped up on the injury report with a back injury on Saturday, resulting in a limited practice session. However, head coach Mike McCarthy already indicated Lamb's injury was" not of high concern," so the latest update suggests he's nearly guaranteed to get on the field. Of course, anything can happen, and setbacks occur, meaning fantasy managers should have a backup plan just in case. If Lamb can't play on Monday, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, and Jake Ferguson would be the favorites to see an uptick in attention from Cooper Rush.

Per the NFL's Ian Rapoport, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back) was limited in the team's Saturday practice with a back injury. The 25-year-old is officially questionable for Dallas' home tilt against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. Rapoport also noted that Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said he's "not of high concern" regarding Lamb's injury. It's encouraging to hear McCarthy's positivity toward the superstar wideout's affliction, but that he's suddenly popped up on Dallas' injury report is mildly concerning for fantasy managers. The former Oklahoma Sooner's value has taken a significant hit with the loss of quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) for the remainder of the season, so an injury doesn't exactly help his case. Lamb's owners will need to temper expectations if they're relying on him against a Houston defense letting up just 5.2 yards per pass attempt to their opponents -- the second-lowest mark in the league. Keep an eye on his status over the next 48 hours.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb saw a team-high 10 targets on Sunday in the 34-6 loss to Philadelphia. Lamb caught six of those passes, but only gained 21 yards. He also rushed once for a three yard gain. The Cowboys' star receiver's fantasy stock has taken a clear hit with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely done for the season. He will look to bounce back next Monday night against Houston.
Nov 11, 2024 12:47 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is off the injury report and expected to play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Lamb sustained this shoulder injury last weekend during their loss to the Atlanta Falcons and logged two limited practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation on Friday. This season, Lamb has continued to operate as the clear No.1 option in the Dallas offense and has averaged 18.5 PPR points with 82.5 yards per game. Even though Lamb will not be catching passes from Dak Prescott (hamstring) for the time being, Lamb should still be locked into all fantasy lineups as a high-end wide receiver.
Nov 8, 2024 4:36 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) went through a second straight limited practice on Thursday while battling a shoulder sprain that he suffered in the Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Lamb said he will not wear a brace on Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles and that he's been feeling good. Specifically, the 25-year-old has an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, but he's expected to play this weekend. However, given his injury and the fact that he'll now be taking throws from backup quarterback Cooper Rush with Dak Prescott (hamstring) injured, Lamb's fantasy stock is on the decline heading into Week 10 and beyond. Still, Lamb is probably a better upside option than most WR3/flex choices fantasy managers may have. It's a tough matchup to boot, as the Eagles defense has allowed the second-fewest half-PPR points to wideouts in the last three weeks.
Nov 7, 2024 6:15 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is expected to practice on Wednesday, though head coach Mike McCarthy said he will be limited. The Pro Bowler suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but the fact that he is participating in practice at all is promising. Lamb is the WR4 in half-PPR fantasy points (15.2 FPPG), but he will be without Dak Prescott (hamstring) for at least the next handful of games. Dallas is set to face the Philadelphia Eagles defense that presents a neutral matchup for fantasy wideouts. However, with Cooper Rush under center for the Cowboys, his ceiling and floor could take a hit. Either way, he remains a must-start given his projected target share, assuming he plays. If he's out, Jalen Tolbert would become an attractive flex option, while tight end Jake Ferguson should see extra opportunities.
Nov 6, 2024 2:24 PM EST
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has an AC joint sprain. Lamb has been designated as week-to-week due to his shoulder injury, but according to Schefter, there is still optimism that he can play this Sunday despite the soreness he's experiencing. With the news that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to an injury of his own, Dallas is in danger of being down two critical pieces of their offense this coming Sunday. The fact that there is optimism surrounding Lamb's status for this weekend hints that maybe it will be a pain tolerance issue for the 25-year-old. In the meantime, fantasy managers might want to assume the worst and begin putting a contingency plan in place in case the superstar wideout can't go in Week 10's divisional clash against the Philadelphia Eagles. Keep an eye on his practice status this week.
Nov 4, 2024 2:41 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) will undergo an MRI to address an AC joint issue in his shoulder. The wideout exited Sunday's meeting with the Atlanta Falcons, although he still managed to return to finish with eight catches for 47 yards. Without a doubt, the Cowboys can't afford any more injuries, considering Dak Prescott (hamstring) will also need an MRI to address the hamstring injury suffered in Week 9. If Lamb can't play in the NFC East showdown with the Eagles, Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks, KaVontae Turpin, and Jake Ferguson would all likely see more attention on the receiving end.
Nov 3, 2024 7:24 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has returned to the field late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Despite the Cowboys trailing by 14 points with just over two minutes left, Lamb has rejoined the Cooper Rush-led offense in an attempt to mount a late comeback. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates on Lamb's health, but the fact that he was able to return Sunday is good news for his availability in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Nov 3, 2024 4:00 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught eight of 12 targets for just 47 yards through the air. He also tallied 15 rushing yards. Lamb's production took a hit late in the game after Dak Prescott (hamstring) was ruled out, leaving the Cowboys with Cooper Rush as their primary quarterback. The statuses of Lamb and Prescott will be important to monitor as fantasy managers set their lineups for Week 10.
Nov 3, 2024 3:55 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb exploded as the overall WR1 in fantasy football last Sunday, and he'll look to pick up right where he left off during Week 9 versus the Atlanta Falcons. Lamb is coming off a spectacular game in which he caught 13 of 17 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns, bumping him up to the overall WR4 this season. This week, he gets another favorable matchup in the form of the Falcons, who have been below-average against wide receivers. Atlanta has allowed the sixth-most touchdowns and the eighth-most receptions to opposing receivers in 2024, which bodes well for Lamb, who typically commands plenty of volume and scoring opportunities. He remains a must-start fantasy option this week, ranking as a high-end WR1.
Nov 1, 2024 12:31 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb finally put together the performance that fantasy managers have been waiting for. The fifth-year receiver was targeted 17 times on Sunday night in the loss to San Francisco. He caught 13 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns with both scores coming late in the fourth quarter. The outing was just Lamb's second WR1 weekly finish of the season but with an astounding 45% target share, fantasy managers can expect more of the same in the future.
Oct 28, 2024 1:40 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has seen consistent target volume throughout the 2024 season but has only produced two touchdowns and no 100-yard games through the first six games. Last year's overall WR1 should see heavy volume again in Week 8 on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers. The matchup isn't ideal, as the 49ers have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing receivers on the season, but Lamb remains a WR1 due to his safe floor and boom potential. Do not hesitate to start him again in Week 8.
Oct 25, 2024 10:42 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was the lone productive offensive player in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. Lamb was targeted 14 times (32.5% target share) and secured seven receptions for 89 yards. Quarterback Dak Prescott showed that Lamb is his most trustworthy receiver, proving again that the 25-year-old is matchup proof and should be started in all formats every week. Lamb and the Cowboys are entering a bye week in Week 7.
Oct 14, 2024 10:52 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb disappointed fantasy managers in Week 5 with five receptions for 62 yards. This week, Lamb is in a prime position for a big week. The Cowboys welcome the Detroit Lions to town in a game with the highest implied point total (52) of the week. Detroit's rush defense is sound, creating an environment where Dallas may lean even more into the pass than usual. They do not have a shutdown corner, meaning Lamb should draw favorable matchups. The 25-year-old grades as the WR1 overall this week and needs to be started everywhere.
Oct 11, 2024 10:52 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb only touched the ball six times in Sunday night's 20-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lamb was targeted nine times, accounting for 22% of the team's targets, but only hauled in five receptions for 62 yards. He also rushed once for a two-yard gain. Without a touchdown, it was a disappointing fantasy outing for Lamb. The Cowboys' star receiver will look to bounce back next week against a pass-funnel Detroit defense. He now ranks ninth in the league in receiving yards (378) through the first five weeks of the season.
