CeeDee Lamb Still Elite WR1 Despite Tough Week 4 Matchup

Friday, October 2, 9:41 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is back to full health after a long recovery from a high-ankle sprain he suffered early last season. The difference in production was immediately remarkable -- Lamb has 20 receptions for 309 yards and two touchdowns through three games. He's the WR3 overall in PPR fantasy leagues and has wrested the clear WR1 role away from his teammate, WR George Pickens. A tough matchup with the Houston Texans is looming, but Lamb is good enough that he can have big games against any defense. He's also re-established his elite connection with quarterback Dak Prescott. Lamb is moved all over the field, so he won't be exclusively playing on the outside against Derek Stingley Jr. every snap. Lamb's fantasy floor feels extremely safe. He should continue to live up to his first-round ADP in fantasy football, though his ceiling may not be at his career peak levels due to Pickens' presence.

Christian Watson in Must-Start Territory with Big Role and Touchdown Streak

Wednesday, September 30, 7:26 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been fantastic this season, catching 17 passes for 284 yards and four touchdowns through three games. He has at least eight targets in all three games this season, and he also has a four-game touchdown streak dating back to last regular season. The Packers have endured their fair share of struggles en route to a 1-2 start, but Watson has been able to maintain a very sizable role. He ranks as the overall WR5 in PPR leagues this season, putting him in must-start territory for every week regardless of matchup. Managers should have full confidence rolling him out as a mid-to-low WR1 for Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are also trending in the wrong direction with a 0-3 start to the year.
