Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Ladd McConkey

Tuesday, November 4, 1:06 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught seven of his 12 targets for 85 yards in Monday night's 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Lamb hasn't missed a beat since returning from his ankle injury in Week 7 against Washington, catching 19 of 30 targets for 260 yards and a touchdown in the past three games. It was a slow start in the first half for the 26-year-old superstar, but he was able to turn in a solid fantasy day in a game where Dallas' offense wasn't at its best. Lamb has been a target hog this season, drawing at least 10 targets in four games despite only playing six games. Only seven other wide receivers this season have as many or more games. Lamb and the Cowboys will get a chance to regroup after their Week 10 bye.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey remains a crucial part of the passing attack, recording a 23.5% season-long target share and catching four of six targets for 56 yards in a close win against the Tennessee Titans last week. This week, he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers' league-worst passing defense, which ranks 30th in yards allowed per game, although they recently defeated the red-hot Indianapolis Colts. While he will likely draw the attention of Steelers' cornerback Jalen Ramsey, McConkey's exceptional ability to create separation should keep his target volume high. He has become Justin Herbert's most trusted receiver over the last few games and is expected to receive plenty of targets against a recently surging defense. Although his WR1 ceiling is often touchdown-dependent due to the many mouths to feed in Los Angeles, his high floor makes him a dependable high-end WR2 or low-end WR1 option that should be started in all leagues.
