CeeDee Lamb News
Sunday, September 13, 8:18 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was his team's leading target earner and receiver, catching five of his eight targets for 44 yards and one touchdown in his team's loss to the New York Giants in Week 1. Dallas' passing game was mostly held in check, with just 175 total passing yards to go around between all its receivers. Lamb out-targeted and out-gained fellow wideout George Pickens, who didn't even muster 30 receiving yards. It would appear that he's regained his WR1 role, at least for now, but games with more overall production through the air should be a bit more revealing to that end. Lamb struggled after a high-ankle sprain caused him to miss time early in 2025, but he appears to be fully healthy in his seventh NFL season. Expect plenty of involvement for the veteran in Week 2 against a Washington Commanders defense with a porous secondary. Lamb tends to perform very well against them.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt News
Thursday, September 17, 7:50 AM
Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt didn't take over the backfield in Week 1, but the rushing split was hard to miss. He carried 16 times for 63 yards and a touchdown against Philadelphia. Rachaad White had seven carries, while rookie Kaytron Allen had four. The snaps were much closer, with Croskey-Merritt at 49% and White at 41%, so White isn't disappearing from this offense. He also caught both of his targets, while Croskey-Merritt's only reception went for minus-seven yards. Still, Washington gave Croskey-Merritt 16 of its 27 running back carries, and he punched in a one-yard touchdown late in the first half. He did put the ball on the ground once, though the Commanders recovered it. Croskey-Merritt was already listed first on the depth chart before the opener. The game told us more than the depth chart did. For now, he looks like the back Washington wants handling most of the rushing work.
