CeeDee Lamb News
Friday, July 24, 5:54 AM
Dallas Cowboys superstar wide receiver CeeDee Lamb finished as the WR20 last season after he had three consecutive top-10 finishes in 2022-2024. He had a high ankle sprain that cost him earlier in the year, and with the addition of George Pickens, Lamb's upside was capped to some degree in a high-powered Cowboys offense. As we look ahead to 2026, Lamb profiles as a slam dunk first-round pick. He was efficient when he played, ranking ninth in the NFL in yards per route run (2.41) and 12th in explosive rating, and although his opportunity and productivity lacked compared to years past, he is a prime candidate to bounce back due to his track record, projected workload, and talent. Lamb remains a top player in both redraft and dynasty formats, and fantasy managers should be looking to target him if possible.

DeVonta Smith News
Friday, August 7, 6:51 AM
Dealing with a hamstring injury, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is missing another practice on Friday, as reported by Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. Smith has been absent from practice since Tuesday, with the offense working through a pair of up-and-down practices without him before a closed walkthrough session on Thursday. With Sean Manion serving as the team's fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons, the Eagles are looking to establish some consistency following the departure of three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown. With Smith and 2026 first-round pick Makai Lemon both dealing with hamstring injuries in recent days, much of that responsibility has fallen to offseason addition Dontayvion Wicks, though Smith still profiles as a fantasy difference-maker who ranks as RotoBaller's WR12 in his first season in a primary role.
