CeeDee Lamb Week 1 Outlook - Cowboys at Giants

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Sep 10th 2023, 12:05pm EDT

Lamb has gotten better and seen more volume in each of his three seasons in the NFL, and he'll be up for a contract extension soon. I have concerns about the post-Kellen Moore Cowboys offense, but Lamb is going to remain the Alpha in this Dallas passing attack regardless. I expect the Cowboys to throw the ball more in 2023, and Lamb will be the focal point of that attack. He caught 107 of his 156 targets for over 1,350 yards in 2022 despite Dak Prescott missing five games. A full season with Dak should push those numbers even higher. The Giants were middle of the pack in allowing points to opposing points to WRs in 2022, and their defense should remain mostly unchanged in Wink Martindale's second season. FantasyPros ECR currently has Lamb as one of six A+ WR starts for Week 1 despite the fact that he'll see plenty of Adoree' Jackson on Sunday night.
