Latest takes
“This is a basic one you’ve probably already heard of before. Take CeeDee Lamb and name your team after the popular movie starring legendary actor Anthony Hopkins.”
Frank Ammirante· Aug 4“20 come from two buckets: Hyper-specified role players (Stefon Diggs, Rashee Rice) Guys with other top 24 or strong ancillary target competition (Both Rams WRs, Jameson Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins, Quentin Johnston with Ladd McConkey/Keenan Allen) You may notice there’s one guy on this list who fits in neither, and it’s Thundering Herd legend Christian Watson (shout out to NDSU).”
Tony Martin· Jul 30“The Cowboys made no meaningful additions at RB this offseason and are running it back with Dak Prescott , CeeDee Lamb , and George Pickens .”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29

“If you’re happy to believe 2025 was a blip rather than the new normal, it becomes easier to see Lamb as a value pick in this range. Betting on Lamb’s well-established connection with Dak Prescott and this team as a whole to bounce back isn’t the worst bet in the world.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 27“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.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 26“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.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 25“Malik Nabers, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson all have similar LTV scores in the same range as Love’s.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 21“Lamb posted the second-lowest numbers of his career in targets, receptions and yards, with only his rookie season in 2020 worse. He also had a career-low three touchdowns. Pickens saw 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 a 23.1% red-zone target share.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 12“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.”
Kurt Blakeway· Jul 7“Never mind that George Pickens will cut into CeeDee Lamb's target share in Dallas, and vice versa. Lamb and Pickens play in one of the league's most prolific passing attacks, which makes both of them appealing draft targets.”
Pat Fitzmaurice· Jul 3“The CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens wide receiver combination was the most efficient duo in 2025 at drawing beneficial penalties in this category.”
Joe Gibbs· Jun 29“CeeDee Lamb posted his fifth straight 1,000-yard season.”
Sharp Football Staff· Jun 24“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.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 23“Other notable cap hit: CeeDee Lamb, $19,654,314 (6.53 percent)”
Logan Ulrich· Jul 5“The tremendous receiver tandem of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens helped his cause, as did 1,200-yard running back Javonte Williams, 82-catch tight end Jake Ferguson and No. 3 wideout Ryan Flournoy.”
Connor Byrne· Jul 4
“Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) Going as the RB14, 21st overall, Jacobs is projected for 289 carries, 1,161 rushing yards, and 12 rushing touchdowns, plus another 36 catches and roughly one receiving touchdown. Health was the story that took some shine off last season, as a knee bruise and thigh injury limited him over the second half.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 8“Josh Jacobs was involved in an offseason domestic incident that is reportedly still under investigation, though no charges have been filed.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 5“Round 6: Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) I’m a bit skeptical of Josh Jacobs because of his off-the-field issues, but if he’s on the field, he’ll get plenty of carries and catch around 40 passes.”

“1 | Diff: +5 Josh Jacobs has been the RB8 and RB9 in fantasy points per game during his two seasons in Green Bay.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“31 10 21 James Cook 13 5 8 Josh Jacobs 7 15 -8 Saquon Barkley 2 13 -11 Bucky Irving 10 33 -23 In past years, so many top RBs have gotten hurt that the Zero (or hero) RB draft strategies have become popular.”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29“Running Back For the RB1 cutoff, one analyst goes as deep as Josh Jacobs around RB15, while the other draws the line one tier earlier at Derrick Henry.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 25“Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) Josh Jacobs finds himself in a similar situation to Saquon Barkley, but for very different reasons. Unlike Barkley, who has a new offensive coordinator and is on a team primed to bounce back from top to bottom, Jacobs finds himself in a very similar situation to last season.”
Ellis Johnson· Jul 17“The swift decline in Josh Jacobs' market value has everything to do with the legal cloud hanging over him. He was arrested in late May on domestic violence allegations. While he was later released, prosecutors say the investigation is still ongoing.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 24“With starting running back Josh Jacobs entering his age-28 stride, and also being the alleged perpetrator of domestic violence, Lloyd may finally get a shot to play meaningful snaps for the Packers.”
Edward DeLauter· Jun 23“Josh Jacobs might be the biggest value in early fantasy football drafts. Despite finishing as a productive fantasy back last season, Jacobs is currently being drafted outside the top 12 running backs in many formats. The case is simple: Green Bay trusts Jacobs near the goal line, he remains heavily involved as an early-down runner, and his receiving floor is underrated.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 10“Josh Jacobs at 299 [college touches] is one of only two other backs who had fewer than 400 college touches and were first-round picks.”
Rich Hribar· Apr 24“Josh Jacobs' legal situation makes things a bit cloudy for the upcoming season, but it's never a bad thing to stockpile running backs.”
Kurt Blakeway· Jul 10“Jacobs will be subject to the league's personal conduct policy and will likely face a suspension ahead of the 2026 season, pending the league's internal investigation.”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26“Jacobs' attorneys announced that their client "vehemently denies" the allegations against him: "Josh vehemently denies the allegations, and this matter is in the early stages of investigation with important evidence that has not yet been made public."”
Jonathan Comeaux· May 26“Jacobs turned himself in to the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department in Wisconsin after the incident occurred on Saturday, May 23.”
