It'll be all hands on deck to slow down the most potent offense on the schedule yet. No Jake Ferguson is a big blow; Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy provide plenty of firepower.

NeutralMatchup

Lamb faces elite 49ers defense but has beaten them before; fumble risk remains.

Lamb is the Cowboys' most potent receiver and will face the 49ers' defense, which is first in EPA per rush, third at limiting explosive plays, and fifth in yards per attempt. The 49ers allow slot receivers a 51% target share (second-lowest in league) and have allowed only 31 yards per game over the middle (best in NFL). However, Lamb will be on the outside, not in the slot. The best receiver the 49ers faced this season, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, had 102 yards on five catches, and Brock Bowers had 111 yards last week, suggesting the Niners' cornerbacks have struggled against elite receivers. Lamb fumbled going into score last week, contributing to turnover concerns.
