Latest takes
“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%.”
Tom Strachan· Aug 28“The notes back it fully: he commands an offense that ranked fifth in points per game with a loaded skill group in CeeDee Lamb , George Pickens , and Jake Ferguson , and there is genuine “meat on the bone” in his touchdown production. He is a locked-in QB1 with top-five upside going at a discount.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 25“Brown , Jaxon Smith‑Njigba , Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb all provide stable weekly production because their offenses run directly through them.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 19

“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.”
Samwise· Aug 16“Lamb remains a locked-in WR1 with a stellar quarterback in his prime and George Pickens alongside him to keep defenses honest.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 14“CeeDee Lamb had a “down” year last season as the WR11 in fantasy points per game, but that finish doesn’t really tell the entire story of Lamb’s season. In Week 3, he played only seven snaps, and in Week 18, he played only 45.5% of the snaps.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 14“CeeDee Lamb | WR, Dallas Cowboys Still within his prime years, you may be surprised to see CeeDee Lamb listed here.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 11“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.”
Tom Strachan· Aug 11“He has a solid offensive line in front of him and perhaps the best WR tandem in the league in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“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“Malik Nabers, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson all have similar LTV scores in the same range as Love’s.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 21
“A 3.0 second time-to-throw average is well above the NFL average (2.76), and while some QBs last year (such as Lamar Jackson and even Brock Purdy ) had longer time-to-throw averages, it's less than ideal for a rookie who is being thrown into the fire.”
Warren Sharp· Aug 28“Knowing when to start Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson to maximize their potential fantasy production becomes a season-long planning exercise. Do you start Ja’Marr Chase against Miami in Week 5?”
Raju Byfield· Aug 25“2026 Fantasy Football Expert Rankings Fantasy Football Dynasty Rankings Fantasy Football Trade Analyzer Best Fantasy Football Rankings 2026 Fantasy Football Draft Advice: TD Regression Candidates Negative Regression Candidates Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL) The single largest negative-regression quarterback in the report, and the clearest sell on the board. Jackson’s 2025 leaned on a 6.95 percent passing touchdown rate that normalizes to 5.96 percent, dropping his adjusted finish three spots.”

“Round 14: Kyler Murray (QB – MIN) Kyler Murray is one of my favorite quarterbacks this season, and with the additional bench slots, I wanted to get him on the team behind Lamar Jackson.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“Round 4: Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL) I don’t find myself in many positions to take someone like Lamar Jackson, but I pulled the trigger here.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“But when Jackson fell to the back end of the sixth round, it was too hard to pass up. I will only draft elite QBs or TEs when they slip past ADP 90% of the time, and this was one of those spots.”
Samwise· Aug 16“Unfortunately, Jackson had arguably his worst season as a starter in 2025. He missed four games because of injury and played part of the year hurt. The superstar finished as the QB14 on a points-per-game basis among qualifying quarterbacks, averaging 19.8 fantasy points per contest. However, I expect a bounce-back season for Jackson, especially with Declan Doyle taking over as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 16“The Ravens dealt with Lamar Jackson being injured on and off for the year, and he still had that finish.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“Declan Doyle is the new offensive coordinator and early returns are favorable. He comes from the Ben Johnson coaching tree, so I think we will see them use Jackson in ways we haven’t seen before.”
Jason Kamlowsky· Aug 11“Lamar Jackson – 0.58 Most rushing TDs on fewer than 200 carries in 2025: 1”
The FF Newsletter· Aug 6“Lamar Jackson , Jayden Daniels , Joe Burrow , Baker Mayfield , and Kyler Murray all were selected as top-12 players at the position and finished double-digit slots behind expectations in terms of points per game.”
Rich Hribar· Aug 5“If Lamar Jackson can bounce back, Henry could inch back closer to his 2024 production (RB4 in fantasy points per game).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“Injuries and a steep decline in rushing production cratered Lamar Jackson ‘s fantasy value in 2025. After finishing QB1 in fantasy scoring in 2024, Jackson plummeted to a QB20 fantasy finish last season and was QB16 in fantasy points per game at the position. Jackson lost three games to an early-season hamstring injury and one game to a late-season back injury.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 4“Lamar Jackson cratered many fantasy rosters in 2025. Before an early October hamstring injury, he was on pace for 3,700 passing yards, 437 rushing yards, and 47 total TDs.”
Vernon Meighan· Jul 27“The most obvious thing to consider is your positional strengths and weaknesses — trading for Lamar Jackson when you already have Josh Allen probably isn’t a good idea.”
