Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Jahmyr Gibbs

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain on Sunday against the Bears, but on Tuesday, team owner Jerry Jones said his injury isn't considered "on the extreme end." However, Lamb still does not have an exact timeline. The team could still opt to place Lamb on IR, but a report on Monday from Ian Rapoport said that Lamb is expected to miss two games but not land on IR. That would line up with Jones' statements on Tuesday, and could put Lamb on track to return in Week 6 against the Panthers or possibly Week 7 against the rival Commanders in a home divisional matchup. While Lamb is out, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson will need to step up and take more targets, along with potentially larger roles for KaVontae Turpin and Jalen Tolbert as well.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 67 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries while catching five balls for 32 yards as a receiver against Baltimore on Monday night. Gibbs was not efficient on his rushes, gaining just three yards per carry. The 27 touches are tied for the third most he's had in his career, with the other games occurring because David Montgomery was out. He continues to be an absolute touchdown machine, scoring 39 touchdowns in 39 career games. The receiving value could be unlocked this year as well, as Goff has peppered him underneath with 18 receptions already in three games. Montgomery had a monster night as well, but this offense has shown to be plenty good enough to support both horses, and it looks like Gibbs is earning the bigger piece of the share. He's locked in as one of the best players in fantasy.
