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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Nov 24, 2024 8:46 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Washington Commanders, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Even though Lamb does not carry an injury designation, Garafolo noted that the star wideout will go through another walkthrough tomorrow. Fantasy managers should monitor his status in case he faces a setback, but he should be expected to suit up. Even though the Dallas offense has struggled with Cooper Rush under center, Lamb caught eight passes for 93 yards in their loss to the Houston Texans last weekend. Fantasy managers should still view Lamb as a solid WR1 facing a Washington secondary that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts.
Nov 22, 2024 4:42 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) was able to return to the practice field on Friday and is expected to play on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 12. Lamb is dealing with multiple injuries this week. He practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday before being downgraded to a DNP on Thursday. While he could be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, fantasy managers should leave the team's WR1 in their starting fantasy lineups for this weekend with a favorable matchup on tap. Lamb's fantasy upside the rest of the year took a hit with the season-ending injury to quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring), but Lamb was able to catch eight of 12 targets for 93 yards in last week's loss to the Houston Texans with Cooper Rush leading the offense. Treat Lamb as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 moving forward.
Nov 22, 2024 1:58 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back) did not practice during Thursday's session, according to Joseph Hoyt of the DLLS Cowboys. This is not a good sign for the star wideout as he was a limited participant during Wednesday's initial session. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report, as Lamb may carry an injury designation into the weekend. Lamb has been dealing with this lingering back injury for some time but was able to suit up on Monday evening to face the Houston Texans. In this game, Lamb brought in eight of his 12 targets for 93 yards. Even though the Dallas offense has struggled with Cooper Rush under center, fantasy managers should continue to start Lamb in all formats if he can play, as he should continue to see a heavy target share down the stretch.
Nov 21, 2024 4:24 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) was not spotted at the open portion of practice on Thursday, according to Cowboys reporter Todd Archer. Lamb was listed as limited on Wednesday, so a potential downgrade in his status is concerning. Last year's leader in receptions (135) hasn't produced as many fantasy football spike weeks this year, but he is still the overall WR4 in PPR formats. That said, his ceiling has taken a hit in the absence of Dak Prescott (hamstring), who is out for the year with a hamstring injury. Lamb's status should be monitored throughout the rest of the week, as he remains a must-start option due to his target volume. If he can't play in Week 12 against the Washington Commanders, Jalen Tolbert could become an intriguing flex option, and it's worth noting Brandin Cooks (knee) returned to practice this week after being designated to return from Injured Reserve.
Nov 21, 2024 2:12 PM EST
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.
