CeeDee Lamb Still Worth His First-Round Price

Saturday, August 8, 11:22 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had a down 2025 by his standards, but there is not much of a discount attached to it. He missed three full games with a high ankle sprain and still caught 75 passes for 1,077 yards on 117 targets. The three touchdowns were a career low, which is probably the biggest reason last year felt so disappointing in fantasy. George Pickens is not going away after a 93-catch, 1,429-yard breakout, and Dallas now has two receivers capable of commanding plenty of looks from Dak Prescott. That makes another 2023-type 181-target season harder to bank on. It also does not push Lamb out of the first-round conversation. Dallas has made red-zone improvement a focus in camp, and Lamb has been working in those drills. RotoBaller ranks him ninth overall and WR5 in half-PPR, almost exactly in line with his 10.6 ADP. At that price, Lamb is neither a bargain nor a fade. He is still one of the safest bets to anchor a fantasy receiving corps.

Tee Higgins News

Tee Higgins Returns to Practice on Sunday

Sunday, August 9, 8:01 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (rest) returned to practice on Sunday after a "rest day" during the team's stadium practice on Friday. Higgins has stayed healthy throughout training camp and, despite not dressing for Friday's practice at Paycor Stadium, is fine. The Pro Bowl wideout has dealt with a number of lower-body injuries throughout his career, including several hamstring strains. It's understandable that the team is being cautious with him. Over the past two seasons, Higgins has totaled 1,751 yards and 21 touchdowns in just 27 games, averaging 13.7 half-PPR fantasy points per game. Despite the risk posed by both his and quarterback Joe Burrow's injury histories, Higgins remains a strong WR2 candidate in 2026.
