The Dallas Cowboys will face the Houston Texans in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR CeeDee Lamb.
Is CeeDee Lamb Playing in Week 11?
Lamb was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is listed as questionable for Monday’s contest against the Texans.
This is a significant development, given Lamb did not appear on the injury report at any point throughout the week. We’ll have to await more information before Monday’s 8:15 p.m. ET primetime kickoff.
Given Lamb’s status as one of the best wide receivers in the league and his surprising injury development, fantasy managers should expect at least one more update before the games kick off on Sunday.
Head coach Mike McCarthy suggested he wasn’t worried about Lamb’s status. The All-Pro was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury. “I’m not of high concern” about Monday’s status.
This is obviously encouraging, given Lamb’s status will bear the utmost importance being the final game of the Week 11 slate, but fantasy managers should still be looking for more information. The fifth-year wide receiver has missed just one game in his career, all the way back in the 2021-22 season.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cowboys’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit CeeDee Lamb in Week 11?
In Cooper Rush’s first start of the season, CeeDee Lamb posted the fourth-worst game of his career in terms of production relative to expectation, minimum six targets (-55.9%).
Is the quarterback to blame? The lack of offensive balance? The sun?
I’m concerned about Lamb’s value moving forward, but there’s nothing actionable. You don’t have three receivers who will project better.
The Texans had allowed 10 receivers to clear 17 PPR points in a game this season, including four in the past three weeks (Josh Downs, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, and Amon-Ra St. Brown).
I’ve docked Lamb in my rest-of-season rankings with this being the Rush show the rest of the way, but his raw talent is still enough to require you to start him weekly, and I still think there is a top-three upside in this profile.
