The Dallas Cowboys will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16. 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 16?
Lamb continues to battle a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. He was limited at Wednesday’s practice but upgraded to full on Thursday. He will once again play through the injury on Sunday.
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 16?
Lamb has six games with at least a dozen targets this season — he joins 2023 CeeDee Lamb as the only Cowboy ever to do that in a season. He set the franchise record with seven such games a year ago and could match it this weekend if they are playing behind for the bulk of this game as is expected.
If you need tangible proof of what this sort of volume looks like, here are the passing plays in succession detailing how Dallas found paydirt on a second-quarter drive last week:
- A 20-yard pass to Lamb
- A 28-yard pass to Lamb
- A 14-yard TD to Lamb (nice adjustment on an end-zone target)
Lamb has been a top-15 receiver in four straight games. While this offense isn’t exactly high-powered, Cooper Rush is doing enough to keep his WR1 in the fantasy WR1 conversation.
