Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or DeVonta Smith

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) has been sidelined since Week 3, when he left the game with a high ankle sprain before getting any catches against the Bears. However, owner Jerry Jones said that Lamb's potential availability for Week 7's matchup with the Commanders is "looking good." The fact that Lamb was never placed on IR gives him a chance to get back in the lineup this week, although Jones has been known to be ahead of schedule sometimes with his updates. Keep a close eye on practice reports this week to see how Lamb is involved, but if he does return, he'll be in a great matchup as he returns to his role in Dallas's high-volume passing game. His return would slightly downgrade George Pickens and Jake Ferguson, while probably taking any sleeper value away from Ryan Flournoy and Jalen Tolbert, who have helped fill in during his absence.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith boomed against the Broncos, recording his highest target and receiving yard counts of the season in a team-leading performance. The question with Smith, as usual, is whether or not he can turn this into consistency. After his last big game against the Rams, he followed it up with two catches on two targets in the next outing. This week, he does have a very favorable matchup against the Giants, who are allowing the second-most fantasy points to WRs this season. Plus, on a short week, Smith might be able to capitalize on a New York defense that's less than 100% conditioned. He's worth a WR3 spot in what should be his second consecutive strong week.
