Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb drew a whopping 16 targets among 34 Dak Prescott pass attempts in Sunday's win over the Colts. He turned that into 10 catches for 195 yards and a TD. TE Jake Ferguson caught the team's only other TD pass, while RB Javonte Williams was the only other Cowboy to catch more than two passes.
Lamb Sees Absurd Market Shares with Pickens Out
Dallas went without WR George Pickens because of a hamstring injury.
With the No. 2 WR out, Lamb logged these market shares:
- 47.1% of total pass attempts
- 47.6% of receptions
- 58.2% of receiving yards
- 50% of receiving TDs
The matchup with a weak Colts defense certainly helped the totals, and we clearly can't count on shares near those levels most weeks.
That said, this marked the fourth straight game of 11+ targets for Lamb and the fifth among his past six outings.
In fact, this game didn't even set season highs for targets or receptions.
Lamb's already had games of 21 and 18 targets this season -- the first a Cowboys victory, the second a 10-point loss -- and caught 17 balls in the Week 4 win over Houston.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Lamb Could Define Fantasy Seasons
This was the first 100-yard game for Lamb since Week 4. One key: Lamb enjoyed his second-deepest average depth of target this season.
Lamb hit 16.1 in that category, trailing only his 16.2 from Week 2.
He opened the season with three straight games of 10.6 yards or deeper before the next six games produced these aDOTs:
- 8.0 at Houston
- 11.8 vs. Tampa Bay
- 9.0 at Green Bay
- 15.8 at Philadelphia
- 6.1 vs. Arizona
- 16.1 at Indianapolis
Lamb's 11.5-yard aDOT for the season sits 1.2 short of his 2025 rate but also ranks second among his seven years in the league.
Lamb's also working on a career-high 2.91 yards per route, despite a career-low 4.0 yards after catch per reception.
What's all that mean? The efficiency's been good, and the usage has been elite.
Combine that with the seventh-best remaining schedule for WR scoring, and you've got a player who appears set to factor into a lot of fantasy championships.
