Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Khalil Shakir

Saturday, November 22, 2:50 PM

Across seven games in 2025, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has recorded 40 catches for 557 yards and two touchdowns on 61 targets. Even with fellow Dallas wideout George Pickens in the midst of a breakout season, Lamb has earned double-digit targets in four out of the six games where he has played all four quarters. In Week 12, Lamb gets a difficult matchup when the Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles. For the season, the Eagles are tied with the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (nine). Philadelphia has also played some of its best defense of late, holding the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions to a combined 16 points over the last two weeks. Still, in his first matchup of the season against the Eagles in Week 1, Lamb recorded seven catches for 110 yards on 13 targets and could have had an even bigger game if not for a couple of uncharacteristic drops. He remains a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 12 against his division rival.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalik Shakir posted his best game of the season in Week 12's loss to the Houston Texans, catching eight of 10 targets for 110 yards. It was the most receptions of the season for Shakir and his first 100+ yard game since Week 14 of last season. The 25-year-old bounced back after recording negative three receiving yards in Week 11 against Tampa Bay despite Buffalo scoring 44 points. Shakir should continue to operate as the team's top wideout in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR26 in PPR formats.
