Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Christian Watson

Sunday, October 19, 10:59 PM

After missing three games due to a high-ankle sprain, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb returned to the field in Week 7 and showed little sign of rust. Lamb recorded five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in his team's 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 21 catches for 332 yards and a score on 32 targets across four games played, one of which he was forced to leave very early on after injuring his ankle. The Cowboys' offense is averaging over 250 passing yards and 30 points per game so far this season, which should put Lamb in a position for monster production on a week-to-week basis. Now that he's back on the field and appears fully healthy, Lamb is a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into his team's Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) made his season debut last week and looks to build off his excellent first outing of 2025 as the Packers host the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. Watson, off the injury report after three limited practice sessions this week, returned to the Packers' lineup to post a 4-85 line on four targets in Week 8 following an ACL injury that ended his 2024 season before the playoffs. Watson's role downfield is one where he can accumulate a ton of fantasy production with limited targets. Still, the Packers' passing game, with limited pass attempts and being well behind players like Tucker Kraft and Romeo Doubs, makes it difficult to start Watson in most weeks, even with bye weeks in full swing. For the Packers' Week 9 matchup against the Panthers, consider Watson a low-end flex play.
