Should You Start or Sit Lamb in Week 13?
The drops from Lamb are irritating at a high level, but his resume suggests that we need not react to the momentary lapses of concentration (three drops last week against the Eagles, including one that was poised to be a go-ahead score).
George Pickens isn’t the WR1 in this offense, but his ability to earn high-value targets has lowered the floor of Lamb, if for no other reason than a big play to him gets this offense off the field in a way that wasn’t possible a year ago.
In comparing Lamb’s profile this year to last …
- aDOT: Up to 12.7 from 8.1
- Slot Usage: Down to 33.2% from 48.3%
He’s effectively traded in highly efficient targets for ones with more variance attached to them.
For a talent like this, which wouldn’t usually bother me, but with the target share naturally lower due to Pickens’ presence, this creates a lowering of expectations that managers are feeling.
You’re not doing anything about it, but I wanted you to feel heard. This isn’t the ace you drafted, and I’m not sure we see that change (Week 5 was the last time a receiver scored 15 PPR points against the Chiefs).
For what it’s worth, I still prefer Lamb to Pickens, even after the latter looked like the more comfortable player in last week’s win over the Eagles.
