Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens

Tuesday, November 11, 3:00 PM

Since returning from a high-ankle sprain that caused him to miss three games, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has finished as the WR8, WR20, and WR24 in half-PPR scoring. Coming off a bye week, the Cowboys face the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night, and Lamb has the potential to be the overall WR1 for the week. As wintery weather begins to affect games across the country, Lamb will be playing indoors in Vegas against a Raiders defense that has allowed 30.7 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. While he hasn't scored a touchdown in either of his last two games, he's seen a team-high three redzone targets in that time, and his overall target share hasn't dipped below 27% since his return. The Cowboys are projected for 27 points, and one of the most likely ways they hit that mark is on the back of a vintage CeeDee Lamb performance.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens comes into Week 11 as the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, largely on the strength of what he was able to accomplish while teammate CeeDee Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury. In the three games that Lamb missed, Pickens averaged 120 yards per game while scoring four touchdowns and finishing as the weekly WR2, WR19, and WR1. In the three games since Lamb's return, Pickens has failed to find the endzone, and he finished as a top-24 wide receiver only once (WR20 in Week 8). However, he has still seen nine targets in two out of three games while averaging nearly 80 receiving yards per game. In Week 11, as many teams start to face inclement weather, the Cowboys will be playing in a dome against a Las Vegas Raiders team that has been one of the most generous to fantasy receivers. Dallas is coming out of their bye week and has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, giving both Lamb and Pickens a legitimate shot to finish as top-12 receivers.
