Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. As expected, Lamb won't suit up this weekend after suffering a high-ankle sprain during last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Lamb is expected to miss multiple weeks due to this injury, but the team waited until Friday to officially rule him out. His absence should mean increased roles for George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, and KaVontae Turpin. Also, tight end Jake Ferguson should also see a boost in value with Lamb sidelined.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) failed to practice on Wednesday and is trending doubtful for Sunday night's showdown against the Green Bay Packers. Lamb was injured in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, exiting without recording a catch, and his absence looms large for Dallas' passing attack. Through three games, Lamb has posted 16 receptions for 222 yards but has yet to find the end zone. With the Cowboys' WR1 unlikely to suit up, fantasy managers should look for George Pickens and tight end Jake Ferguson to see elevated target shares, both warranting must-start consideration across all formats. Additionally, KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Tolbert are expected to see increased involvement, though their fantasy outlooks remain more matchup-dependent. Dallas will need multiple playmakers to step up if Lamb is officially ruled out.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain on Sunday against the Bears, but on Tuesday, team owner Jerry Jones said his injury isn't considered "on the extreme end." However, Lamb still does not have an exact timeline. The team could still opt to place Lamb on IR, but a report on Monday from Ian Rapoport said that Lamb is expected to miss two games but not land on IR. That would line up with Jones' statements on Tuesday, and could put Lamb on track to return in Week 6 against the Panthers or possibly Week 7 against the rival Commanders in a home divisional matchup. While Lamb is out, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson will need to step up and take more targets, along with potentially larger roles for KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Tolbert as well.

According to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) could be placed on the injured reserve. Lamb suffered this high ankle sprain during their loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon. Following the game, the team revealed that their star wideout was going to miss "some time" and would likely not be able to play in Week 4 when they face the Green Bay Packers. However, seeing Jones's recent comments, Lamb could be in danger of missing an extended period. Over the first two games of the season, the 26-year-old enjoyed a productive start to the campaign, catching 16 of his 22 targets for 222 yards. While he remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect George Pickens to operate as the WR1 while KaVonte Turpin and Jalen Tolbert compete for the No. 2 role.

Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) could miss three to four weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 3 blowout loss to the Chicago Bears, a source told Todd Archer of ESPN. Players can miss up to four to six weeks with high-ankle sprains, but the Cowboys are saying Lamb's sprain is a mild high-ankle sprain. The 26-year-old said after Sunday's game that he'd be fine for Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, but that's unlikely to be the case. Fantasy managers should be planning on being without Lamb for at least a couple of games. In the meantime, quarterback Dak Prescott will have to rely more on wideouts George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, and KaVontae Turpin, as well as tight end Jake Ferguson, who was targeted a whopping 14 times against Chicago. Ferguson should be considered a must-start TE1 in fantasy while Lamb is out.

Dallas Cowboys All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain early in his team's loss to the Bears on Sunday, and he is unlikely to suit up for the Cowboys' next game against the Packers. The team plans to monitor his status over the next 10-14 days before determining his long-term status. Lamb left the game in the first quarter and attempted to return with a taped ankle, but managed only one additional snap before shutting it down for the rest of the game. The main benefactor of Lamb's absence was tight end Jake Ferguson, who made 13 grabs on 14 targets. Ferguson becomes a must-start, and WR George Pickens, who caught a touchdown in his second straight game, will likely become a focal point of the Cowboys' offense for as long as Lamb is sidelined.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) exited Sunday's contest in the first quarter after getting tackled on an end-around. NFL insider Ian Rapoport reports that the Cowboys believe Lamb suffered a high-ankle sprain that isn't as bad as it initially seemed. Rapoport also noted that most high ankle sprains generally have a 4-6 week recovery window. That being said, nothing there has yet been confirmed regarding the timeline for Lamb's return to action. In Lamb's absence, Jake Ferguson and George Pickens saw a team-high 14 and nine receptions, respectively. Should Lamb miss time, which it appears it could be the case, fantasy managers can start Pickens and Ferguson confidently if they weren't already. Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin both could get more looks in deeper leagues. Lambs' fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on his progress throughout the next few days. Next up for the Cowboys is a matchup on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) said that he "absolutely" believes that he can play in next Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Green Bay Packers. Lamb injured his ankle on a rushing attempt in the early portion of the Cowboys' Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears. He exited to receive treatment, returned for one play, and then exited again. After his second departure from the game, he did not return. The star pass catcher finished without a catch, and his rushing attempt was nullified due to a penalty, so he didn't actually record a statistic in the game. George Pickens handled the No. 1 receiver duties the rest of the way, but it sounds like he'll drop back to the No. 2 role if Lamb is indeed able to suit up for next week's Sunday Night Football battle with the Packers. When healthy, he's a mid-to-high WR1 option in fantasy football.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) likely avoided suffering a major injury during Sunday's Week 3 loss against the Chicago Bears, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Lamb injured his ankle on a rushing attempt early in the game. He exited to receive treatment, returned for one play, and then exited again. After his second departure from the game, he did not return. The star pass catcher finished without a catch, and his rushing attempt was nullified due to a penalty, so he didn't actually record a statistic in the game. Lamb's status for Week 4 remains up in the air. If he can't suit up, George Pickens would operate as the Cowboys' No. 1 wide receiver.
Sep 21, 2025 7:53 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Lamb suffered a left ankle injury during the first quarter. He attempted to return in the second quarter, but didn't last too long. At the moment, it's unclear how significant of an ankle injury Lamb is dealing with right now. Fantasy managers should get more information on his status soon. In the meantime, George Pickens will take over as the top wideout. Also, KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Tolbert should see increased roles.
Sep 21, 2025 6:29 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) exited during the first half of Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Chicago Bears. He is officially questionable to return. Lamb initially departed after an awkward injury on a rushing attempt. After receiving treatment, he returned for one play but quickly departed again. The Cowboys aren't closing the door on Lamb returning later in the game, but he'll need to receive more treatment and have his condition improve before he checks back into the contest. If he can't return, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson should handle the bulk of the targets from Dak Prescott.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (undisclosed) converted 13 targets into seven receptions for 110 yards during Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, he also had four drops, including three on Dallas' final drive of the game. After a brief trip to the medical tent, Lamb emerged and appeared to take responsibility for his late-game miscues. Perhaps the drops can simply be blamed on early-season jitters, as Lamb has a track record of being a top receiver in the NFL. After all, he still managed to post 18 fantasy points in PPR leagues. Managers should remain confident that he'll be a dependable fantasy WR1 going forward.
Sep 5, 2025 12:27 AM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb should be started in all fantasy leagues despite having a tough Week 1 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 26-year-old is coming off a strong year in which he caught 101 passes for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns despite missing two games. Yet, those numbers represented a step down from his final statistics in both 2022 and 2023, so we know that Lamb has the potential to be even better. A big factor toward Lamb's success is the availability of Dak Prescott, who has a clean bill of health to open the 2025 season. With his talented quarterback healthy and the Cowboys expected to be trailing in several shootouts this year, Lamb has tremendous upside. This week's matchup against a well-rounded Eagles defense isn't great, but managers should still confidently deploy him as a mid-range WR1 in fantasy football.

The Athletic's Jon Machota writes that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been the clear standout at this year's training camp. "Lamb has been all business on the field. It's been rare to see him drop a ball in individual or team drills. He's had one so far. And it bothers him. He came to California with a goal to 'catch everything,'" Machota writes. He goes on to say that the chemistry between Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott "looks ready for Week 1." The Cowboys brought in George Pickens in the offseason, and Cowboys offensive coordinator Klayton Adams is trying to find the best way to utilize the strengths of both Lamb and Pickens. A little more of the spotlight could go to Pickens in 2025, but Lamb is still in a great spot at 26 and in the prime of his career. After four straight 1,000-yard seasons, Lamb is an easy top-five fantasy receiver.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is "grateful" to be healthy. The wideout finished the 2023-24 campaign by amassing 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and totaling 14 touchdowns. However, he wasn't as productive last season, finishing with 101 grabs for 1,194 yards while finding the end zone only six times. Unfortunately, Lamb sustained an AC joint sprain in Week 9, an injury that plagued him for the remainder of the year while also causing his decline in production. However, he appears in good spirits and ready for Week 1. "I want to say a good five months of real recovery and rehab," said Lamb. "I don't know. I'm grateful to have two arms. I can tell you that." Lamb has seen his fantasy stock fall somewhat this offseason after regressing in 2024-25. Yet, if Lamb and Dak Prescott (hamstring) can both stay on the field this season, the 2020 No. 17 overall pick is in the running to reclaim his spot as the top fantasy receiver.

The Dallas Cowboys restructured wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's contract on Tuesday, creating $20 million in salary cap space for 2025, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. Dallas just signed defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to a lucrative contract extension and is planning to extend Micah Parsons this offseason in the neighborhood of $40 million per year. Restructuring Lamb's deal gives the organization some flexibility with free agency and with the 2025 NFL Draft coming up in the next few weeks and months. Last offseason, Lamb signed a four-year, $136 million contract extension and is coming off his fourth consecutive campaign with at least 1,100 receiving yards.
Mar 4, 2025 2:33 PM EST
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.
Dec 28, 2024 3:41 PM EST
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.
Dec 26, 2024 4:24 PM EST
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.
