The Dallas Cowboys will face the New York Giants in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR CeeDee Lamb.
Is CeeDee Lamb Playing in Week 13?
CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) was limited for Monday and Tuesday’s walkthroughs but fully practiced on Wednesday. The Cowboys were likely taking it easy on their star wideout, who’s battled injury issues all season. Lamb was removed from Dallas’ injury report on Wednesday and is good to go for Week 13.
Lamb has remained the featured weapon in Dallas’ offense with Rush under. He caught eight passes for 93 yards in Week 11 and hauled in 10 catches for 67 yards in Week 12, finishing as fantasy’s WR14 in both weeks.

Should You Start or Sit CeeDee Lamb in Week 13?
There might not be a more predictable offense in the NFL than what Dallas is running these days. Heck, forget the NFL. Outside of the service academies, is this the most predictable offensive football structure in the world? I assume there are some pretty vanilla playbooks out there for the U-12 age range, but with kids that age, anything can happen, and that adds a level of uncertainty.
The Cowboys force-feed CeeDee Lamb to set up force-feeding CeeDee Lamb, but this time with more urgency due to the down and distance. Lamb was targeted on five of Cooper Rush’s first nine passes last weekend, picking up 35 yards in the process. He’s been handed the ball in four straight games and reached double figures in the target department in each of his past six, putting his usage on track with anyone in recent memory.
The impact of those opportunities is the creation of a nice fantasy floor, but the lack of quality in those looks has not allowed for much ceiling potential. Lamb has been held without a touchdown thus far in November and, in three of those four games, he didn’t record a 15-yard catch.
You’re playing Lamb as a safe WR2, and that’s fine, it’s just not what you paid for.
