NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb isn't expected to attend the start of the team's voluntary offseason program on Monday while he awaits a new contract to replace the one that is scheduled to pay him a fully guaranteed $17.199 million for his upcoming fifth-year option season. The 25-year-old All-Pro is seeking a new long-term deal after finishing as the WR1 in overall half-PPR points last year. Lamb caught 135 of his 181 targets for 1,749 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. He expects to be playing for the Cowboys this fall, but a holdout into training camp this summer could be realistic if the two sides haven't worked anything out by then. Contract issues aside, fantasy managers should consider Lamb a high-end, elite WR1 in drafts this fall.

According to Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb have yet to have "substantial talks" regarding a new contract. The wideout is slotted to make nearly $18 million on his fifth-year option. Training camp will be here soon, meaning a holdout could be on the horizon if a new deal isn't done. In the meantime, there's also a chance Lamb won't participate in any of the Cowboys' team activities in the next couple of months. With that said, the 25-year-old is a proven pass-catcher. He had a fantastic season in 2023-24, finishing with 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns off 135 catches, all career-highs. Although Lamb is expected to remain a first-round fantasy option, that may change if an agreement isn't reached shortly, especially if it means Lamb might miss a few games to begin the year.

The Dallas Morning News' Michael Gehlken suggests that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb could be absent from offseason workouts this month as he seeks a new long-term contract from the team. If the two sides don't come to an agreement on a new deal this offseason, Lamb is in line to play the 2024 campaign on his fifth-year option, which would pay him $17.99 million. Holding out wouldn't start costing the 25-year-old until June, but it could happen. Fantasy football managers probably won't be concerned unless Lamb isn't present during training camp this summer. He's made the Pro Bowl each of the last three seasons and was a first-team All-Pro in 2023 after setting career-highs in catches (135), targets (181), receiving yards (1,749) and touchdowns (12) in 17 regular-season starts. Lamb is a no-doubt WR1 in fantasy.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb gained over 100 yards again in a playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. Lamb was targeted 17 times in the game, making nine catches for 110 yards, including a long gain of 47 yards. It was a rare game where Lamb did not catch a touchdown, but he was once again able to make it over 100 yards. Lamb was consistently a top-five option at his position this season and should be right up there in those ranks next season as one of the first players drafted in almost all formats.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is a high-floor, high-ceiling option in the first round of the playoffs against the Green Bay Packers.

He was a top-15 fantasy wide out in 11 different games, and finished in the top-five six times. The Cowboys passing game goes through Lamb, and Green Bay has been average at best at defending opposing wide receivers. Lamb is likely the best option at the wide receiver position on Wild Card Weekend.

He and the Cowboys will face off against the Green Bay Packers in Dallas for the first round of the NFL playoffs next weekend.

Lamb is the overall WR2 in fantasy heading into the final game of the regular season, leading the league in catches and coming in second in yards and touchdowns.

He added five yards on one carry just for good measure. Lamb's touchdown came on an enormous 92-yard pass from quarterback Dak Prescott in the first quarter and set the tone for the rest of the game.

Dec 24, 2023 8:05 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is a top-tier fantasy WR1 despite a tough matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. Lamb is the overall WR2 so far this season and has proven to be matchup-proof throughout the season. Week 16 will be one of his biggest challenges so far though, as the Dolphins defense has given up the fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers since Week 9. Still, while Lamb's upside might not be as astronomical as usual, he's still an easy WR1 option with plenty of upside regardless.

He's an absolutely elite fantasy option in all formats with not just one of the highest floors but also one of the top ceilings. Start him with confidence as a WR1 against middling Seahawks pass defense.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb scored a touchdown on Thanksgiving in a Week 12 win over the Washington Commanders. Lamb led the team in targets with nine, making four catches for 53 yards. He also tried a running play, receiving one carry but not gaining any yards. His touchdown was one of three that the Cowboys scored in the fourth quarter, coming on a 15-yard pass from quarterback Dak Prescott. The two also connected for a two-point conversion on the following play. It was a solid game overall for Lamb, but not the huge alpha WR game his fantasy managers have come to expect. Brandin Cooks ended up playing a bigger role in this one, but Lamb should be back to his top performance in Week 13 against the Seahawks.
Nov 23, 2023 10:58 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) was removed from the injury report and is good to go for a Week 12 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Thanksgiving. Lamb missed two practices this week, causing some concern among his fantasy managers, but he was removed from the injury report on Wednesday and is not in any danger of missing an excellent matchup. Lamb leads all wide receivers in fantasy points scored since Week 8 and there's nothing about the Washington defense that suggests he won't be able to keep it going. He's an easy WR1 with both a high floor and an almost limitless ceiling.
Nov 22, 2023 2:43 PM EST
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) was upgraded to a full participant on Tuesday after he was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report. Owner Jerry Jones said on Monday that Lamb is fine, but his placement on the Week 12 injury report no doubt raised some eyebrows this week. Fantasy managers that have been riding Lamb's impressive 2023 performance to this point as an elite WR1 shouldn't have any worries that the star wideout won't play on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday against the Washington Commanders. Keep him locked into your starting lineups for an excellent matchup against Washington's secondary.
