According to the team, the Dallas Cowboys have placed wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) on the injured reserve, officially ending his 2024 season. Earlier this week, the Cowboys announced that Lamb would miss the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old has delt with a lingering AC joint injury throughout the season. Lamb will finish the campaign with 101 receptions, 1,194 yards and six scores. He added 70 yards on 14 attempts. Over his past three games, Lamb was very productive averaging 21.4 PPR points per game. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Brandin Cooks, Jalen Tolbert, and Jake Ferguson to lead the passing attack during the final two weeks of the season. Ferguson should be viewed as a low-end TE1 this weekend while Cooks and Tolbert enter flex territory in deeper formats.

According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. A source noted that the star wideout is not expected to undergo surgery but will go through a process for treatment. The 25-year-old has been dealing with this lingering shoulder injury for several weeks and will now set his sights on the 2025 season. Through 15 games, Lamb caught 101 passes for 1,194 yards and six scores. He added 70 rushing yards on 14 carries. He averaged 17.6 PPR points per game and saw his production drop slightly once Dak Prescott underwent season-ending hamstring surgery after Week 9. With the Cowboys out of the NFC playoff picture, they will opt to ensure their top playmaker is at full strength for the 2025 campaign. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Jake Ferguson, Brandin Cooks, and Jalen Tolbert to operate as the top pass catchers over the final two weeks of the season.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is not practicing on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Lamb has been playing through an AC joint injury to his shoulder since initially injuring it since Week 9, but two straight DNPs this week makes the 25-year-old worth watching heading into Sunday's divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's entirely possible that the Cowboys are just giving their star wideout some extra rest in the penultimate game of the 2024 season, but if he isn't able to practice on Friday, there's a real chance that Lamb could miss Week 17. If that comes to pass, the Cowboys would be down to Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert as their top wideouts. Lamb has remained a must-start fantasy wideout, even after quarterback Dak Prescott's (hamstring) season-ending injury.
Dec 26, 2024 3:09 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught seven of his eight targets for 105 yards during Sunday's Week 16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old has remained productive with Cooper Rush under center, delivering steady WR1-caliber numbers over the last three weeks. Fantasy managers should continue to start their studs, including Lamb, as the playoffs continue. However, managers should also temper expectations next week as Lamb takes on the Philadelphia Eagles, who have one of the NFL's best secondaries in terms of limiting opposing receivers' fantasy points. The last time he faced Philadelphia, the Cowboys' top receiver caught just six of 10 targets for just 21 yards through the air.
Dec 23, 2024 1:22 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has continued to be a major contributor in fantasy football despite losing his quarterback, Dak Prescott (hamstring), in the middle of the season. Lamb has looked solid in six full games with Cooper Rush under center, as the two have connected for 41 completions, 429 yards, and two touchdowns. He ranks as the overall WR11 during that six-game span, and he has found the end zone in each of his last two contests. In Week 16, Lamb will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whose defensive secondary has been suspect at times in 2024. The Buccaneers have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to slot receivers, as well as the 13th-most fantasy points to receivers who operate out wide. Lamb has played 368 snaps (46.6 percent) from the slot this season, which is the seventh-most in the NFL. Still, he should be able to feast against the Buccaneers, who allowed Los Angeles Chargers slot receiver Ladd McConkey to put up five catches, 58 yards, and one touchdown against them in Week 15. For fantasy purposes, Lamb continues to rank as an intriguing fantasy playmaker in the mid-to-low WR1 range this Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Lamb suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder all the way back in Week 9 but has played through it and hasn't missed any time. He'll be ready to roll on Sunday night in Week 16 when the team hosts the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) being out for the year, Lamb has remained a must-start in fantasy lineups while working with backup Cooper Rush. The Buccaneers defense has been better of late, but on the season as a whole, they've been a good matchup for receivers in fantasy. Lamb had his second 100-yard game of the year in the Week 15 win over the Carolina Panthers and has scored in back-to-back weeks. He's seen double-digit targets in seven of the last nine games. Start Lamb against the Bucs.
Dec 19, 2024 6:14 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) continues to battle through a shoulder injury and was limited in Wednesday's practice session. Lamb suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder back in Week 9 and has been managing the issue ever since, although he has not missed any time because of it. The 25-year-old's fantasy stock took a hit when quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) was lost for the year, but he's still been playable on a weekly basis in fantasy lineups. Since injuring his shoulder, Lamb also has 41 receptions on 60 targets for 429 receiving yards and two touchdowns. It speaks to Lamb's abilities on the football field that he remains a must-start wideout with WR1 upside in fantasy with Cooper Rush under center. Lamb should play on Sunday night and will have considerable upside against a vulnerable Bucs secondary.
Dec 18, 2024 6:19 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb again led the team in all receiving metrics as the clear go-to receiver for quarterback Cooper Rush. Lamb was targeted 13 times, catching nine balls for 116 yards and a touchdown. He connected with Rush for the first score of the game, a 14-yard touchdown reception. The star receiver will again be a top option in Week 16 against Tampa Bay on Sunday Night Football.
Dec 15, 2024 10:03 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) upgraded to a full practice participant on Friday and was removed from the final Week 15 injury report. Lamb will be available to play on Sunday on the road against the Carolina Panthers and should be locked into starting fantasy lineups. The 25-year-old pass-catcher has been battling through a sprained AC joint in his shoulder since injuring it in Week 9, but he hasn't missed any games as a result. Carolina's defense has stiffened up in recent weeks and is playing much better, but Lamb should be able to do damage against them this weekend as quarterback Cooper Rush's top target in the passing game. Lamb doesn't have the type of upside he did before Dak Prescott's (hamstring) season-ending injury, but he's been the WR20 in half-PPR scoring in the last five weeks with 32 receptions for 313 yards and a touchdown.
Dec 13, 2024 5:19 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) stayed limited in the team's second practice of the week on Thursday as they prepare to face the Carolina Panthers this Sunday in Week 15 action. Lamb continues to battle a sprained AC joint in his shoulder that he suffered back in Week 9, but it hasn't caused him to miss any time. Instead, the 25-year-old's fantasy stock has taken a bit of a hit in the second half due to quarterback Dak Prescott's (hamstring) season-ending injury. Since his shoulder injury, Lamb has caught 32 of his 47 targets for 313 yards and a touchdown with Cooper Rush leading the offense, which has made him the WR20 over that stretch. The Panthers defense has stiffened up since earlier in the season, but they remain vulnerable, and Lamb still has enough fantasy upside to make him worth a WR2 play. We're expecting him to be removed from the final injury report on Friday.
Dec 12, 2024 5:27 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) remains on the team's Week 15 injury report and was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Lamb suffered a sprained AC joint back in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons and has been managing it ever since. The 25-year-old All-Pro wideout has been seen grimacing often on the field when landing on it in recent weeks, but he hasn't missed any time. Barring a setback in practice later this week, he should be fine to play this Sunday in Carolina against the Panthers. Lamb doesn't have the normal kind of fantasy upside he'd have with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) healthy, but he remains a must-start in fantasy nonetheless. In five games with Cooper Rush at QB, Lamb has 32 catches on 47 targets for 313 yards and a touchdown, making him the WR20 in PPR scoring.
Dec 11, 2024 5:38 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb started off Monday night's game with a bang as he scored a touchdown on fourth down on the first offensive drive. His night quieted from there on, but Lamb recorded six receptions for 93 yards and a score while rushing once for one yard on the night. It was a productive outing for the star receiver, who scored his first touchdown since Week 8 against San Francisco. Lamb will be in WR1 territory again in Week 15 as the Cowboys travel to Carolina.
Dec 10, 2024 10:02 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has no injury designation going into Monday night's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Lamb did not practice on Thursday, but was upgraded to limited on Friday and Saturday and cleared having any designation for the game. Lamb reenters WR1 territory in one of the best matchups possible as he gears up to face an atrocious Cincinnati secondary. Do not hesitate to start the star receiver this week.
Dec 7, 2024 3:41 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) was a limited participant during Friday's practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Lamb aggravated a shoulder injury during their Thanksgiving victory over the New York Giants but expressed that he expects to be ready for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during Saturday's final practice in case he carries an injury designation. Lamb averaged a solid 17.7 PPR points per game during Weeks 11 and 12 but took a step back on Thanksgiving when he got hurt, scoring only 5.9 PPR points. However, fantasy managers should view Lamb as a low-end WR1 facing the Bengals, who have allowed the 10th-most PPR points to opposing WRs this season.
Dec 6, 2024 4:44 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) did not practice on Thursday, according to Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com. Lamb aggravated his previous shoulder injury during their Thanksgiving victory over the New York Giants. However, according to a previous report, Lamb is still expected to suit up on Monday evening. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend in case the star wideout faces a setback. Lamb has seen his production drop without QB Dak Prescott (hamstring), as he has averaged just 12.4 PPR points over the previous four contests. However, Lamb has a great matchup on Monday to get back on track, facing the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the 10th-most PPR points to opposing WRs this season.
Dec 5, 2024 4:54 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) continues to battle a sprained AC joint in his shoulder but said he expects to play on Monday night in Week 14 against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. Lamb has full range of motion and his strength back and was officially limited in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. "As far as Monday goes, I'll be fine by then," Lamb said. The 25-year-old aggravated his right-shoulder injury on Thanksgiving last Thursday in the win over the division-rival New York Giants and finished with only two grabs for 39 yards on six targets. Fantasy managers should leave him in their Week 14 starting lineups for a juicy matchup against one of the worst defenses in the NFL. The Bengals have allowed the 10th-most half-PPR points to receivers per game this season and the fifth-most points in the last five weeks.
Dec 5, 2024 3:59 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) will be limited in practice on Thursday because his shoulder is still bothering him. Lamb was held out of the team's unofficial walkthrough practice on Wednesday but will upgrade to limited for the first official practice of the week as the Cowboys prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night in Week 14. The 25-year-old aggravated his shoulder injury in the Thanksgiving Day win over the division-rival New York Giants and finished with a disappointing 39 yards on only two receptions. It doesn't seem like Lamb is in much danger of missing Monday night's contest, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his status over the next two days. If Lamb is available in Week 14, he'll be a must-start against one of the worst defenses in the league.
Dec 5, 2024 12:55 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) should be expected to be ready for their Week 14 matchup on Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Lamb was dealing with an AC joint injury earlier this month and reportedly reaggravated it during their Thanksgiving victory over the New York Giants. However, given that the Cowboys were leading throughout most of the second half, Lamb did not need to see the field as often. With an extra few days off, Machota noted that owner Jerry Jones expressed confidence regarding his star wideout's availability for Week 14. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during next week's practices in case he faces a setback. Before missing most of the second half on Thursday, Lamb caught just two of his six targets for 39 yards.
Nov 29, 2024 12:18 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught just two of six targets for 39 yards during Thursday's Week 13 win over the New York Giants. Lamb finished the contest having played a season-low 68 percent of the offensive snaps, spending a good portion of the second half on the sideline without his helmet. It's unclear if Lamb was sidelined due to performance or injury. It's worth noting that he did seem to react to a potential shoulder injury after being taken down by a defender, but the Cowboys never made any sort of injury report announcement regarding Lamb. Regardless of whether he's injured, fantasy managers can be rightfully disappointed about Lamb's quiet showing in a game where other Dallas pass-catchers, such as Brandin Cooks, KaVontae Turpin, and Luke Schoonmaker, thrived. If healthy, Lamb will look to bounce back as a low-end WR1 in fantasy football against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14.
Nov 29, 2024 10:12 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb paced the team in receiving in the 34-26 win over Washington on Sunday. Lamb was targeted 12 times, catching 10 passes for 67 yards while also rushing once for a yard. The star receiver remains a high-end WR2 with Cooper Rush under center as the team prepares for the New York Giants on a short Thanksgiving week.
