Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Puka Nacua

Sunday, October 19, 10:59 PM

After missing three games due to a high-ankle sprain, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb returned to the field in Week 7 and showed little sign of rust. Lamb recorded five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in his team's 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 21 catches for 332 yards and a score on 32 targets across four games played, one of which he was forced to leave very early on after injuring his ankle. The Cowboys' offense is averaging over 250 passing yards and 30 points per game so far this season, which should put Lamb in a position for monster production on a week-to-week basis. Now that he's back on the field and appears fully healthy, Lamb is a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into his team's Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) has been ruled out for his team's Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to an ankle injury. However, head coach Sean McVay said he is "very optimistic about hopefully having (Nacua) back" following the Rams' Week 8 bye. Los Angeles will host the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. Nacua has been dominant through the first six weeks of the season, recording 54 catches for 616 yards and two touchdowns on 65 targets. In his absence against Jacksonville, the Rams will likely rely on Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) to fill the void at wide receiver. Once Nacua returns, he should once again provide must-start fantasy production.
