Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Malik Nabers

Tuesday, November 18, 12:42 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb recorded five catches on seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 33-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Lamb and George Pickens both sat out the first offensive series of the game due to a coach's decision, but both returned to their normal roles afterward and had strong nights. The star wideout took a backseat to Pickens in this game, with the former Steeler leading the team with 11 targets and exploding for 144 yards and a touchdown. Lamb still had a strong game for fantasy managers on a night where the Cowboys moved the ball at will, but it could have been an even bigger night for the 26-year-old if he had hauled in what would have been a walk-in touchdown near the end of the game. He will continue to rank as a strong WR1 moving forward, but a tougher matchup awaits in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) had surgery on Tuesday to fix the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, and he "should be ready" for the start of next season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Nabers suffered his season-ending knee injury in the Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he just now had surgery after doctors had to wait for the swelling in his knee to dissipate. Barring setbacks with his rehab and recovery in the offseason, the 22-year-old former first-rounder should be good to go for the start of the 2026 season next fall, although fantasy managers might have some reservations about rolling with a receiver coming off a major knee repair as a high-end WR1. Before his injury, though, Nabers had displayed his game-changing abilities with 271 yards and two scores on 18 receptions in four games. His long-term fantasy ceiling should be higher going forward now that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart looks like the real deal.
