CeeDee Lamb Still Elite WR1 Despite Tough Week 4 Matchup

Friday, October 2, 9:41 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is back to full health after a long recovery from a high-ankle sprain he suffered early last season. The difference in production was immediately remarkable -- Lamb has 20 receptions for 309 yards and two touchdowns through three games. He's the WR3 overall in PPR fantasy leagues and has wrested the clear WR1 role away from his teammate, WR George Pickens. A tough matchup with the Houston Texans is looming, but Lamb is good enough that he can have big games against any defense. He's also re-established his elite connection with quarterback Dak Prescott. Lamb is moved all over the field, so he won't be exclusively playing on the outside against Derek Stingley Jr. every snap. Lamb's fantasy floor feels extremely safe. He should continue to live up to his first-round ADP in fantasy football, though his ceiling may not be at his career peak levels due to Pickens' presence.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Removed From Injury Report, Ready To Face Tough Divisional Opponent

Friday, October 2, 11:18 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was listed on this week's injury report with the same knee injury he has been rehabbing all offseason, so nothing new to report on that front. He practiced fully in every practice session this week and is no longer listed on the report heading into the weekend. Rice is coming off his best game of the season in last week's 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Rice caught seven passes for 88 yards, leading the team in catches, yards, and targets by a large margin. Perhaps the easy matchup against Miami was just what Rice needed to have a get-right game. This week's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders may not be so easy. The Raiders defense looks like one of the most improved units year over year, holding opposing offenses to low scoring outputs in two of three games this season. Rice will have to compete with tight end Travis Kelce for valuable targets while contending with the Las Vegas defensive backs. Rice is ranked WR17 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a fine WR2 in most leagues.
