CeeDee Lamb's roster continuity and usage are in question heading into the offseason.

Lamb's 39% target share but 4.7-yard aDOT limits ceiling without downfield shift.
CeeDee Lamb had one of the more unusual air-yard profiles of Week 8, commanding a massive 39.3% target share but finishing with just 52 air yards. Lamb caught seven of his 11 targets for 58 yards with a 4.7-yard aDOT, the lowest of any receiver in Week 8. Despite dominating Dallas' targets, Lamb accounted for only 27.7% of the team's air yards. The source notes this usage profile severely limits his ceiling, and evidence is needed that it will improve. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry about one strange week, but they'll want to see Lamb get more downfield opportunities rather than functioning primarily as a short-area possession receiver.
