Should I Start CeeDee Lamb?

Friday, October 9, 5:07 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (quad) suffered a quad bruise in the 24-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Lamb was listed as questionable to return in the fourth quarter and made several attempts to reenter the game but couldn't produce late. After a hot start to his 2026 season, the star receiver caught only two of five targets for nine yards on Thursday night, marking the fourth-worst game of his NFL career. While the injury cost him playing time in Week 4, it was only a bruise, not a strain, which is good news for his outlook, especially with a few extra days before they face the Green Bay Packers in Week 6. If his injury is worse than expected, George Pickens and Ryan Flournoy should see a bigger role, though it seems unlikely Lamb will miss time.
