Who Should I Start? Michael Gallup or CeeDee Lamb

Wednesday, June 11, 10:02 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Michael Gallup (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring strain that has kept him off the field for the first two days of mandatory minicamp this week, a source told The Washington Post's Nicki Jhabvala. Gallup spent the first six years of his NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys after they selected him in the third round (81st overall) in 2018 out of Colorado State before signing with the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency. The 29-year-old then abruptly retired and didn't play at all in 2024. He's making a comeback back in the NFC East, but Gallup is facing an uphill battle for playing time in D.C. behind Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr., Noah Brown (undisclosed), K.J. Osborn and Luke McCaffrey. Gallup's hamstring injury isn't helping his cause in minicamp. He's off the fantasy radar for now.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is "grateful" to be healthy. The wideout finished the 2023-24 campaign by amassing 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and totaling 14 touchdowns. However, he wasn't as productive last season, finishing with 101 grabs for 1,194 yards while finding the end zone only six times. Unfortunately, Lamb sustained an AC joint sprain in Week 9, an injury that plagued him for the remainder of the year while also causing his decline in production. However, he appears in good spirits and ready for Week 1. "I want to say a good five months of real recovery and rehab," said Lamb. "I don't know. I'm grateful to have two arms. I can tell you that." Lamb has seen his fantasy stock fall somewhat this offseason after regressing in 2024-25. Yet, if Lamb and Dak Prescott (hamstring) can both stay on the field this season, the 2020 No. 17 overall pick is in the running to reclaim his spot as the top fantasy receiver.
