Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Puka Nacua

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is "grateful" to be healthy. The wideout finished the 2023-24 campaign by amassing 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and totaling 14 touchdowns. However, he wasn't as productive last season, finishing with 101 grabs for 1,194 yards while finding the end zone only six times. Unfortunately, Lamb sustained an AC joint sprain in Week 9, an injury that plagued him for the remainder of the year while also causing his decline in production. However, he appears in good spirits and ready for Week 1. "I want to say a good five months of real recovery and rehab," said Lamb. "I don't know. I'm grateful to have two arms. I can tell you that." Lamb has seen his fantasy stock fall somewhat this offseason after regressing in 2024-25. Yet, if Lamb and Dak Prescott (hamstring) can both stay on the field this season, the 2020 No. 17 overall pick is in the running to reclaim his spot as the top fantasy receiver.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua said on the "Join The Lobby" podcast that he would like to retire from the NFL at the age of 30. It would mean that the 23-year-old (24 in May) pass-catcher would have six or seven more years of football left in him. After being selected in the fifth round (177th overall) in 2023, Nacua has been lights-out his first two professional seasons with a combined 184 catches on 266 targets for 2,476 yards and nine touchdowns in 28 regular-season starts. Barring an injury, he should be an elite receiver in the NFL for years to come, especially now that Cooper Kupp is no longer in L.A. Nacua did miss five games in the first half of the 2025 campaign due to a knee injury, but on a per-game basis, he was even more productive for fantasy managers. Even with Davante Adams essentially replacing Kupp, Nacua should be a target hog and a strong WR1 target in fantasy drafts.
