CeeDee Lamb News
Thursday, June 18, 8:23 AM
Relative to his own lofty standards, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had a down year in 2025. The 27-year-old missed three games with an ankle injury and finished the year with 75 receptions for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns on 117 targets. After averaging over 10 targets per game in 2024, Lamb saw his targets decrease to 8.4 per game in 2025. Part of the reason for the decline was the emergence of fellow Cowboys wideout George Pickens. However, Lamb's efficiency went up in terms of both yards per reception and yards per target while sharing the field with a vertical threat like Pickens in 2025. With better health, Lamb could re-emerge as a dominant force in the short and intermediate areas of the field. Pickens is also playing the 2026 season on the franchise tag and remains without a long-term extension from Dallas. Even if Pickens' presence is a real impediment to Lamb's production, his long-term dynasty outlook is unchanged until Pickens extends with the Cowboys.

Matthew Golden News
Thursday, June 11, 4:32 PM
On the first day of mandatory minicamp on Thursday, Green Bay Packers second-year wide receiver Matthew Golden lined up across from Christian Watson in a two-receiver set, according to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated. Golden came into the NFL last year with high expectations after the Packers selected him 23rd overall out of the University of Texas. The 22-year-old was then hyped up plenty during training camp and the preseason, only to disappoint in his rookie campaign in a crowded receiving corps in Green Bay. He caught 29 passes for 361 yards and zero touchdowns in 14 regular-season games (five starts). Golden is trending back up again this spring, and he'll have a much bigger opportunity to carve out a consistent role in the passing attack now that Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are out of town. Watson is the team's clear WR1 with big-play ability, and the Packers also still have the versatile Jayden Reed, but both wideouts have dealt with their fair share of injuries early in their careers. Even if both Watson and Reed stay on the field, Golden will be a popular Year 2 breakout candidate. He can be had at a discount, too, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 51 fantasy WR for the 2026 season.
