CeeDee Lamb News
Saturday, September 5, 5:47 AM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's production dropped off significantly in 2025, as he finished the year with 75 catches for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns on 117 targets across 14 games. Part of that was due to an early-season ankle injury, which caused Lamb to miss three full games and most of a fourth. However, another factor in Lamb's reduced usage was the emergence of Cowboys wideout George Pickens, who recorded over 1,400 receiving yards and nine touchdown grabs. Pickens has also consistently drawn rave reviews for his work in Cowboys camp throughout the summer, with several reporters in Dallas categorizing him as the team's best wide receiver. While Lamb will surely see plenty of targets as well, Pickens' presence may limit his high-end production upside, particularly in the red zone. Lamb remains a worthy early-round pick for fantasy managers, but his status as a no-doubt fantasy WR1 may be in question entering 2026.

Zay Flowers News
Friday, September 11, 11:31 PM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is off the injury report after logging a limited practice on Wednesday and is ready to take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1. Flowers led the Ravens in targets, receptions, and yards, and is clearly quarterback Lamar Jackson's preferred pass catcher, as he enjoyed a 25% target share in 2025. Moreover, Zay Flowers averaged 2.5 yards per route run last season, the third-most among 76 wide receivers who ran at least 300 routes, according to Next Gen Stats; only Puka Nacua (3.8) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (3.7) averaged more. However, the Colts secondary has gotten healthier over the off-season, and they boast two All-Pro cornerbacks in Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward Sr., which may hinder Flowers' ability to separate downfield. Nonetheless, fantasy managers probably drafted Flowers as their WR2, and he lands within Rotoballer's top 12, making him a borderline WR1 heading into Week 1.
