DAL WR CeeDee Lamb - 2022 Fantasy Football Outlook

2022 Fantasy Upside
Barring a major injury, it’s difficult to see CeeDee Lamb not enjoying a prolific fantasy season. Now established as the team’s clear WR1, Lamb will see a huge increase from last season’s 20.4 percent target share, which only ranked 36th among all wide receivers. In his first two seasons competing with Amari Cooper, Lamb still managed to total 153 receptions, 2,037 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. Dallas is one of the NFL’s best offenses when quarterback Dak Prescott is healthy, and played at the league’s fastest neutral game script pace in 2021. All signs point to a big leap for the third-year Oklahoma-product in 2022.

2022 Fantasy Downside
Could Lamb’s limited target share during his first two seasons be an indicator or a larger issue? Will Lamb face similar struggles to Cooper when trying to beat the opposition’s best cornerback? Prescott has a preference to target open receivers and will not force the ball to a player in tight coverage. The onus will be on Lamb to get open, which is a legitimate concern for a wide receiver that only ranked 42nd in target separation last year (PlayerProfiler).

2022 Bottom Line
While there is a certain level of risk with every early fantasy selection, everything lines up for Lamb to have a huge fantasy season. He is the top receiving option, in a high-scoring offense, with coaching continuity, and a much harder projected schedule. It’s time for CeeDee Lamb to ascend to an overall WR1 in fantasy football.

DAL WR CeeDee Lamb - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 versus Arizona Cardinals

Lamb put up his second-most yards over the past four weeks despite Dallas’s blowout that kept their most consistent receiver out of the end zone. Lamb will continue to be in the WR1 conversation with Cardinals S Budda Baker iffy to play Week 17 and will continue to see plenty of looks from Dak Prescott.

DAL WR CeeDee Lamb - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 versus Washington Football Team

Despite not having a ceiling game in some time, Lamb has three straight games with six receptions and at least 50 receiving yards. Lamb has also become the second player to show he is a better running back than Ezekiel Elliott, carrying the ball three times over the past three weeks for 48 yards. It is comfortable to start Lamb against one of the worst secondaries in football coming off a Tuesday night game.

DAL WR CeeDee Lamb - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at New York Giants

Back-to-back seven-catch performances despite inconsistent offensive production from the Cowboys as a whole solidifies Lamb’s role as he winds down his second season in the NFL. Week 14 was just the third team this season his yards per reception was under 10. Start Lamb knowing that he has the ability to win in the short and long routes.

DAL WR CeeDee Lamb - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Washington Football Team

Lamb produced Week 13 but it was the least efficient performance of the season. He reached double-digit targets for the first time since Week 6 and only caught seven passes. Lamb has an easier matchup in Week 14 against the Washington secondary. Despite allowing 1.17 touchdowns per game to opposing wideouts, WFT has limited the number of receivers that have big games; only one receiver tends to put up good yardage per game with another typically getting into the endzone. WFT’s defense has allowed two receivers to score in double digits (PPR) in eight games this season. With Lamb being the most dynamic option for Dak Prescott, expect him to be one of Dallas’s top scorers in Week 14.

DAL WR CeeDee Lamb - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New Orleans Saints

Despite trying to get on the field Week 12, Lamb did not pass all phases of concussion protocol. He has returned to practice in full ahead of Week 13’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Perfect timing for the second-year receiver as the Saints are 31st in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to the position. Even if he sees shadow coverage from Saints CB Marshon Lattimore, look for the Cowboys coaching staff to move him around the field to keep the Saints secondary on their toes. Lamb is a locked-in WR1.

DAL WR CeeDee Lamb - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 versus Las Vegas Raiders

Lamb’s speed and versatility would be sorely missed if he cannot clear concussion protocol ahead of Thanksgiving. The Las Vegas Raiders have been excellent against wide receivers, especially Casey Hayward Jr. - he has 368 coverage snaps without allowing a touchdown. It would give the Cowboys' offense a boost to have Lamb, but the quick turnaround casts doubt on his availability.
