Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Tutu Atwell

Friday, October 3, 1:05 PM

According to Todd Archer of ESPN, the Dallas Cowboys are ruling out wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) for a second straight game in Week 5 against the New York Jets. It doesn't come as a surprise, as Lamb was expected all along to miss multiple weeks after suffering a left high-ankle sprain in Week 3. The good news is that Lamb was able to do some rehab work off to the side this week. Still, he could miss a third game in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, and his availability moving forward will depend on how soon he can return to practice with the rest of the team. With Lamb out last week, George Pickens went off for 100-plus yards and two touchdowns in the Week 4 tie with the Green Bay Packers, while Jalen Tolbert worked as the clear WR2. Tight end Jake Ferguson should remain firmly in the TE1 picture with added targets with Lamb injured. With KaVontae Turpin (foot) up in the air this weekend, Ryan Flournoy could operate as Dallas' WR3.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell caught one of his two targets during Sunday's Week 4 win over the Indianapolis Colts, delivering an enormous 88-yard touchdown that proved to be the game-winning play. As soon as Atwell got loose, there was no looking back, as he took off for the end zone and gave Los Angeles the victory. While this will show up in game logs as one of the top performances this week, fantasy managers should be cautious about rushing to grab Atwell off the waiver wire. He still has just two catches through four games this year, and his "boom or bust" status typically results in more bust than boom. We need to see a little more consistency from Atwell before discussing him as a fantasy-relevant receiver.
