CeeDee Lamb
vs Jonathan Taylor

“CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) It was a really disappointing 2025 for CeeDee Lamb , posting the second-lowest numbers of his career in targets (117), receptions (75) and receiving yards (1,077), with only his rookie season in 2020 worse. He also had a career-low three touchdowns. The newly arrived George Pickens recorded a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb’s 18.6%, which was also behind Jake Ferguson , who led the team with 23.1%.”

“Lamb is a pick I don’t exactly love in a vacuum. I am lower on him than most this season and don’t believe he should be a first-round pick in fantasy.”

“Lamb remains a locked-in WR1 with a stellar quarterback in his prime and George Pickens alongside him to keep defenses honest.”

“CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) In a world where George Pickens had hit the open market, or was traded by the Cowboys this offseason, instead of signing his franchise tag tender, CeeDee Lamb could have been back in the top two wide receiver conversation.”

“CeeDee Lamb is eminently talented, do not get me wrong there, and this offense will promise to be extremely high-flying and productive. However, he has one season in his career wherein he finished higher than WR7 or with more than 17.7 PPR points per game. That season came in 2023 when he led the NFL in targets with 181 targets.”

“Lamb is coming off the least productive season of his career. There's no questioning his talent, but I'm still unsure how he'll fit into Dallas' new offensive scheme. That said, he'll still command an elite target share, and that's ultimately why we're drafting him. Lamb's combination of volume, explosiveness and big-play ability gives him overall WR1 upside if everything clicks.”

“CeeDee Lamb posted his fifth straight 1,000-yard season.”

“CeeDee Lamb was framed as one of the safest high-end fantasy receivers because of his ability to consistently function as the centerpiece of an offense. Even when offensive conditions fluctuate, receivers who dominate targets maintain elite fantasy floors. There was little concern expressed about talent or role, with the conversation focused on how dependable his fantasy profile remains compared to many receivers drafted around him.”

““ Jonathan Taylor ranks inside the top 40 of the FantasyPros half-PPR flex rankings but faces a difficult matchup against the Texans’ stout run defense. Houston has limited opposing backs effectively through two games, which could keep Taylor’s yardage and touchdown chances in check. Even with his usual workload, the low matchup rating suggests a higher risk of a muted outing than his ranking implies.”

“Last season, Jonathan Taylor averaged 31.5 PPG in Colts wins and 12.4 PPG in Colts losses.”

“Jonathan Taylor (RB – IND) With a caveat. Taylor was the RB4 overall, but his season was a tale of two halves.”

“Jonathan Taylor (+600) is the current favorite to lead the league in rushing yards for the 2026 NFL Season.”

“Jonathan Taylor was absolutely dominant for the first half of last season. Had Daniel Jones not gotten injured, Taylor most likely could have stayed effective throughout the whole season.”

“Round 2: Jonathan Taylor (RB – IND) With Daniel Jones coming off a torn Achilles, it’s fair to assume Jonathan Taylor will continue to get a massive amount of work in the running game and as a pass-catcher.”

“Meanwhile, Jonathan Taylor is the focal point of the offense, totaling 323 rushing attempts and 55 targets last season, setting a career high in targets.”

“$39M guaranteed The #Colts and star RB Jonathan Taylor have agreed to terms on a big-time 2-year, $44M extension, per me and @AdamSchefter”

“Taylor is heading into a contract year, likely his last massive one, after turning 27 this offseason. He’ll be motivated, have his quarterback returning, who might need to lean on the run game more, and once again has virtually no competition for touches. There’s a very real world where Taylor is a top-two back this season.”

“Yes, Jonathan Taylor is the bellcow for Indy, and I don’t see that changing, but the RB2 spot is up for grabs in Indy.”
