2024 Fantasy Outlook
Lamb has improved upon his totals for targets, catches, yards and touchdowns with each passing year since the Cowboys drafted him 17th overall in 2020, peaking last season as the highest-scoring wide receiver for both PPR and standard scoring. He finished at WR5/6 overall in 2022, then took a massive leap forward last season with 25 more targets and 390 more receiving yards while posting career highs for catch rate (74.6 percent) and yards per target (9.7). In addition to leading the NFL in catches and targets, Lamb tied for third among WRs with 14 carries and took them for 113 yards and two touchdowns (14 TDs total). Many of his peripheral stats were similar to previous years (e.g. 9.3 aDOT, 5.1 YAC average) but he was targeted on a career-high 28.3 percent of his routes and caught nearly three-fourths of those passes even though defenses knew what was coming. While neither particularly big (6-2. 200) nor fast (4.50), Lamb is silky-smooth both before and after the catch and seems to have an innate understanding of footwork and angles like DeAndre Hopkins or Isaac Bruce. If there's one possible criticism, it's that Lamb was a bit more volume-reliant than fellow elite WR1 Tyreek Hill, who ran 193 fewer routes but was targeted on an incredible 38.2 percent of them. Even that's just nitpicking, though, as Lamb had the sixth-highest target rate over the seventh most routes (641)., i.e., he can afford to lose some volume in 2024 and still be a high-end WR1.

Optimism for Week 10
Lamb (shoulder) is considered week-to-week, but there is optimism he'll be able to play next Sunday against the Eagles, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Lamb is believed to be dealing with an AC joint injury in his shoulder, which he suffered in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He was able to return to the game after briefly exiting, so perhaps he can continue to play through the issue if it's more of a pain tolerance thing. If he's able to suit up against Philadelphia, Lamb is expected to be catching passes from a different quarterback, with Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely out several weeks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Lamb's fantasy stock thus takes a slight hit, but he still should dominate targets in Dallas' passing attack and will remain a matchup-agnostic WR1.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Lamb has progressed as expected since going 17th overall in the 2020 draft, jumping from 935 yards as a rookie to 1,102 as a sophomore all the way to 1,359 last season. Amari Cooper's departure from Dallas in a trade paved the way for Lamb to become the unquestioned No. 1 receiver and average 9.2 targets per game -- volume that he could repeat even after the Cowboys added Brandin Cooks this spring. Lamb had fairly modest numbers through six games last season, averaging 5.5 catches for 68.2 yards with two touchdowns, then really got going once Dak Prescott returned from an injury Week 7, putting up 6.7 catches for 86.4 yards with seven TDs in the final 11 games. A healthier season from Prescott combined with the offseason departures of TE Dalton Schultz and RB Ezekiel Elliott would help Lamb avoid any problems from increased target competition at WR in the form of Cooks. The 24-year-old is set up well to at least approach his 2022 production, if not exceed it.

ANALYSIS
Lamb has staged a training camp holdout while seeking a contract extension. It's unclear exactly what kind of progress has been made, but Archer reports that the Cowboys' latest offer would make him the second-highest paid receiver in the league behind Justin Jefferson.
