All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about CeeDee Lamb
PositiveProjectionOct 7, 2026
CeeDee Lamb is ranked WR3 as the NFL leader in receiving yards through Week 5. Facing Tampa Bay on Thursday Night Football, the Buccaneers have yet to allow 250 passing yards this season. However, Ian Hartitz highlights the Cowboys' elite offensive efficiency: ranked fifth in points per drive through four weeks, a mark rarely seen since 2000, suggesting potential for explosive output despite Tampa's pass defense. Lamb ranks very highly in yards per route run and deserves credit for playing elite football to start the season.PositiveUsageSep 28, 2026
Lamb drew a 20-yard defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone in Week 3, indicating strong red zone target volume.PositiveProjectionSep 23, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks CeeDee Lamb as the WR5, noting his target volume (17 targets) and production advantage over George Pickens, with a favorable outlook against the Ravens.PositiveProjectionSep 16, 2026
Ranked WR7 for Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Cowboys-Commanders game has the second-highest game total of the week (Lions-Bills is #1). Two secondaries that can't really guard anyone and two QBs who can throw a good ball to their top two WRs. Particularly favorable if matched up against Mike Sarin, PFF's lowest-graded corner in Week 1. Set up well for success based on matchup; Commanders rank among the worst secondaries at containing wide receivers over the last 12 months per True Media data.PositiveProjectionSep 8, 2026
Ranked WR6 for Week 1. Despite George Pickens' elevated role, Lamb remains the clear WR1 in Dallas: over 12 full games together last season, Lamb led in targets (116 vs. 99) and PPR points per game (16.6 vs. 15.9), establishing him as the primary option.NegativeValueSep 3, 2026
Liam Murphy still likes CeeDee Lamb despite preferring London Pickins in that draft round. Murphy argues the fantasy football market is 'a little disingenuous to Lamb,' suggesting Lamb is undervalued relative to market perception. Murphy's preference for Pickins is not a fade on Lamb's talent or role, but rather a relative ranking call.NegativeValueAug 22, 2026
JJ Zachariason ranks AJ Brown ahead of CeeDee Lamb among top-10 wide receivers, though Lamb remains a top-tier option.PositiveRoleAug 12, 2026
Zachariason has soured on CeeDee Lamb due to George Piggins joining the Cowboys, questioning his true top-three league-breaking upside and whether he should be a first-12-pick target in fantasy drafts. The addition of Piggins creates uncertainty about Lamb's role and ceiling.PositiveMatchupJul 16, 2026
The analyst is confident the Cowboys offense will be 'a freaking wagon' this year, implying strong fantasy production for their skill position players.PositiveProjectionNo date
CeeDee Lamb is ranked WR5 against the Texans and has been fantastic this season with career-high marks in yards per catch, yards per target, catch rate, and receiving yards per game. This elite production comes after an offseason where some questioned Dallas's WR hierarchy, but Lamb has clearly established himself as the top option.NegativeValueNo date
Ian Hartitz expresses concern about drafting CeeDee Lamb at 1.09, viewing him as a low-end WR1 rather than a guaranteed overall WR1; Hartitz prefers Saquon Barkley at that draft spot. While acknowledging Lamb as a top-tier receiver, Hartitz notes the target competition gap between him and George Pickens is tighter than expected, and argues that AJ Brown has historically been a better real-life receiver with a higher fantasy ceiling.PositiveProjectionNo date
Davis Mattek ranks CeeDee Lamb below Justin Jefferson due to target-share uncertainty. Mattek notes a scenario where another receiver could be Dallas's WR1 (even at a 60/40 split), creating uncertainty about Lamb's target share that does not exist with Jefferson and his Minnesota teammates.
