Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Jayden Reed

Tuesday, July 23, 9:07 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is not expected to report to Dallas Cowboys training camp when it opens on Wednesday in Oxnard, CA. With the 25-year-old Lamb entering the final season of a deal that will pay him just shy of $18 million in 2024 under his fifth-year option, Lamb is looking for a long-term contract to secure him as one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. The concern is minimal for fantasy managers unless the holdout extends deeper into July and into August, but Lamb firmly remains an early-first-round wide receiver in fantasy this season after setting career bests in targets (181), receptions (135), receiving yards (1,749), and touchdowns (12) in 2023.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (toe) came off the non-football injury list on Wednesday. After dealing with a minor toe injury, Reed was back at training camp for Wednesday's practice. The Packers sport a packed receiving corps for star quarterback Jordan Love in 2024, but it's Reed who's projecting as the signal-caller's favorite target while holding an ADP of 56 in fantasy drafts this summer, per RotoBaller. The 24-year-old former second-round pick was a standout in Green Bay's offense during his rookie campaign, ranking in the top 10 at his position in both PPR fantasy points per route run (0.56) and fantasy points per target (2.31) while totaling 10 touchdowns in 16 games (94 targets). Reed is an exciting WR2 bet in this upstart offense.
