Admittedly, there isn’t much higher Lamb can climb in the rankings from a fantasy perspective. But he certainly isn’t showing signs of slowing down heading into his fourth season.

While Lamb’s role feels secure, it is worth mentioning that Michael Gallup will be a full year removed from his ACL tear back in Week 17 of the 2021 season. Additionally, the team traded for WR Brandin Cooks, who has never seen fewer than 69 targets in a season.
Could his career-high 156 targets regress a bit in 2023? Perhaps. Nonetheless, Lamb feels like a safe bet to go for over 1,200 yards and 90 receptions this season.
Is Lamb a Good Fantasy Pick?
Lamb is currently going off the board towards the back half of the second round of fantasy drafts.

While Lamb’s ceiling may be a bit lower with a healthy Gallup and Cooks in town, his floor is among the safest at the WR position. Draft with confidence in the second round.
