Yahoo Sports NFL on CeeDee Lamb

Lamb's 125 YPG average and WR2 usage face Bucs' exposed downfield coverage.

Lamb has 25 receiving first downs this year, only trailing 2011 Wes Welker for the most in NFL history through four weeks. He's shredded the Ravens and Texans defenses most recently. Lamb played a season-high 38% snaps in the slot to get away from CB1 Derek Stingley, including on his game-winning in-cut versus safety Jalen Pitre. He's the WR2 on WR4 usage so far, leading in receptions (9.3 per game) and yards (125 per game) with 79.5 projected receiving yards. The blitz-heavy Bucs can catch bad OLs and QBs by surprise, but Prescott is amongst the best against the blitz over years of data. Lamb can be a quick outlet, but he can also get downfield where the Bucs have been exposed by Jordan Addison (WR10) and Denzel Boston (WR11) recently. Dallas has a 29.0-point team total (second).
