CeeDee Lamb fantasy football insight from Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings

Lamb has averaged 90 receiving yards per game from 2022-2025 when Dak Prescott has started. He's the WR3 on WR5 usage and a 26% target share (WR5) over that span. With George Pickens balling out last year, Lamb averaged 89 receiving yards per game on a 26% target share, if we remove his two injured games. He was the WR8 on WR6 usage, with the only real difference being he scored 0.25 touchdowns per game rather than his baseline of 0.37. Long story short, Pickens' breakout just made the Cowboys a better offense. It didn't really matter for Lamb's fantasy production. Well, the Cowboys are 6th in projected points this year with the same HC, OC, OL, RB, TE, and WR rooms. Dallas' defense should go from laughable to pretty good, but this should remain a team that will play fast on offense (2nd in neutral pace) and press the right button in terms of scheme (play action, motion, etc.). Lamb (1149 receiving yards and 7.5 receiving TDs) is a slight tier down from Ja'Marr Chase (1324-10.5), Puka Nacua (1299-7.5), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (1324-8.5) in the live markets, but he compares almost identically to late 1st-round picks Amon-Ra St. Brown (1199-8.5) and Justin Jefferson (1149-7.5). Lamb is a top-12 player, even in half PPR.
