Should You Start or Sit CeeDee Lamb in Week 3?
CeeDee Lamb is my WR1 for the rest of the season, and he might be in a tier of his own.
I’m not sold that Dallas is going to have long-term success running the ball, and the NFL as a whole has yet to prove they have anything close to a solution for Lamb.
In both weeks this season, he’s racked up a 30-yard reception among his 7+ catches, and those games came against divisional opponents that see him twice a year, thus giving them a theoretical edge in scheming.
I’m bullish on George Pickens the rest of the way, and even I don’t see him cutting into what their WR1 does. For the season, Lamb has three more targets than any other Cowboy WR has targets and has been responsible for 40.4% of the team’s receiving yards.
It’s early, but teams that opened their draft with Lamb in the first round are positioned well to turn a profit this season.
