CeeDee Lamb a Locked-In WR1 After Clearing Concussion Protocol

Friday, December 12, 7:45 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (concussion) passed the league's concussion protocol and is off the injury report heading into their Sunday night tilt against the Minnesota Vikings. Lamb sustained this concussion during their Week 14 loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. However, before exiting, the superstar wideout still made an impact, catching six of his eight targets for 121 yards on just 47% of the team's snaps. This was his second-straight game eclipsing the century mark. Since his three-game absence due to an ankle injury in Weeks 4 through 6, Lamb has returned to his high-end status at the position. During this seven-game stretch, Lamb has averaged a strong 17.6 PPR points per game and has continued to see a massive target share, earning 9.3 targets per game, despite playing alongside George Pickens. Given Dallas' high-octane passing game, QB Dak Prescott has been able to support both Pickens and Lamb as they have continued to produce WR1 stat lines on a weekly basis. Even though Lamb will face a formidable Minnesota secondary that has allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing WRs this season and just contained Terry McLaurin to 41 yards last Sunday, Lamb remains a must-start WR1 in all formats in the opening week of the fantasy playoffs.

Rashod Bateman Questionable for Sunday Against Bengals

Friday, December 12, 6:26 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially questionable for Week 15 after being a non-participant during Friday's practice session. Bateman popped up with an ankle injury on Thursday's injury report. It appears to be serious enough to put his status in danger for the upcoming rematch against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Bateman has been a non-factor in fantasy formats for most of the season in a Ravens offense that has been a shell of its explosive 2024 self. If he sits out, DeAndre Hopkins and Devontez Walker would likely see expanded roles behind Zay Flowers. Neither wideout can be trusted as a starting option in 12-team fantasy formats for Week 15. The 26-year-old Bateman has only 18 receptions in 11 games in 2025 for 217 yards and two touchdowns.
