Should You Start or Sit CeeDee Lamb in Week 2?
The drops led off every highlight show last Friday and they should have. Those lapses in concentration from a player like this in an offense that is going to rely on him are unacceptable.
But let’s take it down a notch in the fantasy world. Lamb was featured from the jump and finished with a 39.4% target share. He had more catches (seven) than any of his teammates had targets and posted a 13.8-yard average depth of target, higher than any single game from a year ago.
On Thursday, Lamb became the second-youngest player to reach 500 career receptions (bar trivia answer: Larry Fitzgerald sits atop that list) and also drew a pair of impactful pass interference calls to help keep the ‘Boys competitive.
Based on target expectations, Lamb underachieved projections by 14.3% and still flirted with 20 PPR points. This was always a strong first-round pick, and he remains a real threat to lead the position in scoring every time he laces ’em up (18.1 PPR PPG career vs. NYG with over 80 receiving yards in four of five home games against the divisional rival).
