Bottom Line

Lamb delivered on a Round 2 ADP last year, showcasing an ability to stay durable and productive on high volume.

Dallas improved the WR corps for 2023 with the addition of Brandin Cooks. But we have no doubt Lamb will remain an elite target earner. Continue drafting him as a comfy WR1.


What We Learned Last Year
  • Lamb set career highs in targets (156), catches (107), yards (1,359), and TDs (9).
  • The now 24-year-old finished PPR WR6, only 2 points behind WR5 A.J. Brown.
    • Lamb finished as a top-12 WR seven times.
    • He ranked WR30 or worse six times. Three such games came with Dak Prescott sidelined (thumb fracture).
  • Lamb posted five 100-yard games, a number only five WRs beat.
  • He was a movable chess piece for OC Kellen Moore and HC Mike McCarthy, playing 62.7% of his passing snaps in the slot, according to Pro Football Focus. That marked an increase from 2021 (39.8%).
  • Lamb soaked up targets in the short range with an aDOT of 10.5 yards – right in line with his career average.
  • He remained highly efficient with a 72.3% catch rate and 2.38 yards per route run.
    • Among 30 WRs with 100+ targets, those numbers ranked sixth and ninth, respectively. Both set career highs.
  • Lamb remained durable, playing all 17 games. He has missed only one game through three seasons (concussion, 2021).
What to Expect in 2023
  • Only 24, Lamb is likely still ascending as an NFL player. Our work with historical aging curves suggests that his peak is another year or two away.
  • Dak Prescott returns for Year 8 after losing five 2022 games to a Week 1 thumb fracture.
  • HC Mike McCarthy will call plays after OC Kellen Moore’s departure to the Chargers.
    • Brian Schottenheimer earned the promotion to OC. He has talked about keeping a “fast” approach on offense while not making any drastic changes overall.
  • Dallas added 30-year-old WR Brandin Cooks in a trade.
    • Cooks isn’t the No. 1 WR we saw earlier in his career, but he’s a solid No. 2 and should help stretch the field.
    • The team believes WR Michael Gallup will be more effective after a sluggish return from ACL surgery.
    • Neither guy should substantially impact Lamb’s target count.
  • One reason why: Dallas lost TE Dalton Schultz in free agency, and we’d bet on some of those 89 targets moving to the WRs.
    • Dallas added Round 2 TE Luke Schoonmaker, but he has missed time in OTAs with a foot issue and isn’t locked into a meaningful role.

CeeDee Lamb, WR DAL

10:30pm EDT 9/17/23

CeeDee Lamb matches career-high in catches

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb went off for 11 catches and 143 yards against the Jets. The 11 catches tied a career high. Top CB Sauce Gardner didn’t shadow him, and Dallas was wise to switch up Lamb’s alignment. We’ll see if Brandin Cooks (knee) misses another week, but regardless, Lamb will retain a top-5 ceiling for the road ahead. Next up is a matchup with Arizona.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) did not practice all week. He’s listed as questionable, and owner Jerry Jones labeled him a game-time decision for Sunday’s tilt with the Jets. But it’s safe to assume that Cooks won’t be anywhere close to 100% if he suits up. Keep him on fantasy benches this week. Cooks' absence would leave extra targets for WR CeeDee Lamb, WR Michael Gallup, and TE Jake Ferguson, among others.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb caught all 4 of his targets for 77 yards in Sunday night’s Week 1 win vs. the Giants. No other Dallas offensive player caught more than 2 passes. The Pro Bowl wideout saw a red zone target sail over his head in the second quarter but otherwise didn’t have much involvement in the blowout victory. Fantasy managers hoping for a bigger game from Lamb are assuredly disappointed, but the early blocked FG TD and a 22-yard INT return for a TD in the first half made it so that Dallas didn’t have to push very hard to earn the W. Hopefully, next week’s contest vs. the Jets can be a little bit closer. An intriguing item to remember is that while TE Jake Ferguson had a quiet 2 catches for 11 yards, he led the Cowboys with 7 targets in this contest.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks aims to rebound from a down 2022. The veteran tallied 57 catches, 699 yards, and 3 TDs while missing 4 games. Cooks’ efficiency metrics stunk, but it’s tough to knock him, given Houston’s awful QB play. A March trade to Dallas gives new life to his fantasy value. The Cowboys handed Cooks ~$12 million guaranteed, so they’re confident in him performing as the No. 2 behind CeeDee Lamb. Based on work at OTAs, Cooks’ speed remains a dangerous trait. “Not only the speed, but I think he's an exceptional route runner,” HC Mike McCarthy said via ESPN. “He has a great understanding of routes and time clocks, and specifics of getting in and out of breaks.” See where he slots in our WR rankings.

The Cowboys named Brian Schottenheimer their new OC. He spent this past season in Dallas as an offensive consultant. HC Mike McCarthy is expected to take over play-calling duties from the departed Kellen Moore, so we're not sure Schottenheimer's role will change much in 2023. He does have 12 seasons of experience as an NFL OC, most recently from 2018-2020 with the Seahawks. Those were run-leaning attacks, with 2 of the 3 finishing top 3 in rushing attempts.
