Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Kristian Wilkerson

The Dallas Cowboys restructured wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's contract on Tuesday, creating $20 million in salary cap space for 2025, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. Dallas just signed defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to a lucrative contract extension and is planning to extend Micah Parsons this offseason in the neighborhood of $40 million per year. Restructuring Lamb's deal gives the organization some flexibility with free agency and with the 2025 NFL Draft coming up in the next few weeks and months. Last offseason, Lamb signed a four-year, $136 million contract extension and is coming off his fourth consecutive campaign with at least 1,100 receiving yards.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson made a solid impression in the Raiders' preseason finale, snagging three catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-24 tie to the San Francisco 49ers. While this performance boosts his chances of making the final roster, fantasy managers should temper their expectations. Even if Wilkerson secures a spot, he's likely to be no higher than fifth or sixth on the depth chart. In the Raiders' offense, this translates to minimal regular-season opportunities, barring multiple injuries ahead of him. His preseason touchdown showcases some red-zone potential, but Wilkerson's fantasy relevance will be severely limited with established targets like Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers ahead of him. At best, he's a name to remember for deep dynasty leagues or as a potential in-season waiver wire option if injuries decimate the Raiders' receiving corps. For now, Wilkerson remains off the radar in all but the deepest of fantasy formats.
