CeeDee Lamb News
Monday, August 17, 6:20 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb currently has an ADP of 11.0, which makes him a first-round pick in fantasy drafts and the fifth receiver off the board. When Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott are both healthy, the pass catcher has elite upside in fantasy football. Fortunately, there have been plenty of reports from training camp indicating that the receiver and quarterback have looked great together recently. However, there's also some risk associated with drafting Lamb, who finished as the WR22 in PPR leagues after missing three games last year. He has missed five games over the last two seasons and also faces some competition for targets from George Pickens, who had a breakout campaign in Dallas last year. Ideally, fantasy managers could get Lamb at the first-round and second-round turn, allowing them to pair him with a top-tier running back.

Rashee Rice News
Friday, August 21, 8:24 AM
Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Cyrus Allen continues to stand out at training camp. Despite being a fifth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Allen has been a frequent topic of conversation throughout camp, making plays and earning work with the first-team offense. However, the path to standalone fantasy value in 2026 remains bleak. Rashee Rice has consistently produced in his three seasons in Kansas City, hauling in 156 of 209 targets for 1,797 yards and 15 touchdowns in 28 games. Although the fourth-year receiver underwent offseason knee surgery and spent time in jail, Rice appears to be finding a groove. During Wednesday's practice, Rice totaled nearly double the targets (7) of the next closest receiver, while Allen had just two targets from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Expectations are high for the rookie receiver, but with Rice expected to be a key contributor on offense, Allen will have a tough time securing enough volume to be a factor in 2026.
