Only one catch in loss
Lamb caught one of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the 49ers in the wild-card round. He also gained five yards on his only carry.
Analysis: It was a disappointing ending to the season for Lamb and for the Cowboys, and the second-year wideout failed to find the end zone or reach 90 receiving yards in his final eight games between the regular season and the playoffs. Lamb's overall numbers still took a step forward, as he set career highs across the board with 79 catches for 1,102 yards and six TDs on 120 targets over 16 games, and he should head into 2022 as a key part of a potent passing game alongside Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper.

Just two catches
Lamb caught both of his targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 51-26 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Lamb wasn't involved much, but he picked up first downs on both of his grabs, including a long reception of 31 yards. Although Lamb hasn't topped 70 yards over his last five contests and hasn't scored since Week 10, he still improved his rookie production across the board this season. The 22-year-old will now turn his attention toward his first career playoff appearance, when he figures to be a big factor for the Cowboys.

Three catches in loss
Lamb caught three of four targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: The Cowboys' offense didn't really get going until late in the second quarter, and Lamb's volume suffered the most among the team's top wideouts -- four other Dallas players, including Cedrick Wilson, saw more targets. Lamb has still topped his rookie-year production with 77 catches for 1,057 yards this season, and he'll get one more chance to pad those numbers in Week 18 against the Eagles.

Tallies 66 yards in blowout win
Lamb had four receptions (five targets) for 66 yards and lost two yards on his lone carry in Sunday's 56-14 rout of Washington.
Analysis: Amari Cooper (7-85-1) and Dalton Schultz (8-82-1) saw the bulk of the receiving action while the starters were still in the game, but Lamb still had a decent showing when factoring in that most of Dallas' offensive production came in the first half. There was plenty of garbage time in this one, so the Cowboys rested their starters for most of the second half, which could have resulted in a bigger game for the entire unit had this contest been more competitive. Lamb has continued his solid 2021…read more

Modest yardage on six grabs
Lamb brought in six of nine targets for 50 yards in the Cowboys' 21-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Lamb paced the Cowboys in targets and checked in second in both receptions and receiving yards to Dalton Schultz, but a lack of trips to the end zone and just an 8.3 YPC made for a relatively modest fantasy performance overall. Lamb's numbers naturally played much better in PPR formats, and he's now posted at least six receptions in three straight games. The second-year standout does have a four-game touchdown drought, however, a matter he'll next get a chance to rectify in a Week 16 battle…read more

Leads struggling passing game
Lamb caught seven passes for 61 yards on 10 targets against Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: Lamb's box score is inefficient at a glance (70 percent catch rate, 6.1 yards per target), but he was Dallas' highest-volume pass catcher Sunday and his struggles were arguably more attributable to the play of Dak Prescott, who completed only 56.5 percent of his passes at 5.4 yards per attempt. Lamb's usage is reliably very high from week to week, and his numbers are almost certain to improve if Prescott turns in a better performance in Week 15 against the Giants.

Busy night in return
Lamb brought in seven of 13 targets for 89 yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 win over the Saints on Thursday night. He also rushed once for 33 yards and returned three punts for 35 yards.
Analysis: Making his return after a one-game absence while in concussion protocol, Lamb turned in an excellent all-purpose effort, one that saw him pace the Cowboys in receptions and receiving yards. The second-year wideout's target tally was also a team-high figure and his second highest of the season, and his rush attempt yielded a career-long run. Lamb's first opportunity to build on what was his most well-balanced performance of the season comes a week from Sunday in a Week 14 road contest versus…read more

Practices fully, clears protocol
Lamb was a full participant in Monday's practice and is in line to play Thursday against the Saints after clearing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. "Going through the protocol, it was tough," Lamb said. "I feel a lot better."
Analysis: After he was diagnosed with the concussion following his early exit from the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Chiefs, Lamb made a strong push to clear the five-step protocol for head injuries ahead of the team's Thanksgiving Day game four days later, but he ultimately didn't receive the green light from an independent neurologist ahead of Dallas' 36-33 overtime loss to the Raiders. Lamb confirmed that he was able to pass all neurological testing at some point shortly after the game against Las…read more

Puts in full practice
Lamb (concussion) was deemed a full participant Sunday in the Cowboys' unofficial practice session, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After sustaining the head injury exactly one week ago in the Cowboys' loss to the Chiefs, Lamb managed only one limited practice on a short week before being ruled out ahead of Dallas' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Raiders. The Cowboys will have another quick turnaround for Week 13 with a Thursday night matchup against the Saints, but Lamb's ability to increase his practice activity a few days later bodes well for his chances of being able to play in New Orleans. He'll still need to receive…read more

Should play Week 13
Lamb (concussion) will practice Sunday, with the Cowboys expecting him to return for Thursday's game at New Orleans in Week 13, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb seems to have come close to clearing concussion protocol in time for Thursday's overtime loss to the Raiders, but he ultimately wasn't able to play four days after suffering the injury. While he's expected to avoid another absence, the situation still needs to be monitored given that recovery from concussions isn't always linear. It does, however, seem likely that both Lamb and Amari Cooper (reserve/COVID-19) will be back in the lineup Week 13.

Inactive versus Raiders
Lamb (concussion) is officially inactive for Thursday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: With both Lamb and Amari Cooper (reserve/COVID-19 list) unavailable for the contest, the Cowboys' Week 12 wideout corps will be led by Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson, with Noah Brown, Malik Turner and Simi Fehoko also in the mix. Lamb now will target a return action Week 13, when Dallas faces New Orleans next Thursday.

Won't suit up Thursday
Lamb, who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raiders, won't clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol ahead of the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff and is set to be inactive for the contest, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Though team executives as well as head coach Mike McCarthy expressed confidence that Lamb would be ready to go for Thanksgiving Day after he returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, the second-year receiver likely wasn't able to gain medical clearance from either team doctors or an independent neurologist (or both). Lamb likely would have avoided an absence if the Cowboys were playing on Sunday this week, but the quick turnaround for their annual holiday game didn't provide…read more

Officially questionable for Week 12
Lamb (concussion) officially is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Raiders, though the Cowboys appear optimistic he'll be ready to play. "He hasn't missed a step on a short week," coach Mike McCarthy told Todd Archer of ESPN.com after Wednesday's practice. "Just as we discussed on Monday, if he's able to keep progressing through, we see him as available for the game."
Analysis: After being estimated as a non-participant on Monday's and Tuesday's practice reports, Lamb bumped up to limited activity Wednesday, the first tangible sign of progress as he recovers from a concussion sustained this past Sunday at Kansas City. Despite such a tight window for Lamb to clear all five phases of the NFL's protocol for head injuries, the Cowboys have exuded confidence in the second-year wideout being ready to go ahead of the Thanksgiving Day showdown with the Raiders. Still, Lamb is…read more

Needs clearance after full practice
Lamb (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's non-padded practice and now needs joint clearance from a club physician and an independent neurologist to play in Thursday's game against the Raiders, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Pending the results of his upcoming examinations, Lamb appears to be trending toward playing Thanksgiving Day, just four days after being diagnosed with a concussion. The Cowboys presumably will list him as questionable on their final weekly injury report, but Lamb's status may ultimately be known well before the team's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff Thursday.

Returns to practice
Lamb (concussion) will return to practice Wednesday, giving him a shot to play in Thursday's game against the Raiders, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The star wideout seems to be making quick progress through the five-step concussion protocol and likely would be on track to suit up if the Cowboys played Sunday rather than Thursday. As it is, Lamb remains uncertain to play Thanksgiving Day, though his return to practice reportedly has the Cowboys feeling optimistic that he'll clear protocol ahead of the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The team is already without of its other starting wideouts Amari Cooper (illness) this week.

No reps in Tuesday's practice
Lamb (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice report, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: According to Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site, Dallas held what head coach Mike McCarthy described as a light "run-through" session Tuesday, but Lamb evidently hasn't advanced far enough in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to take part even in non-contact drills. With the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day game against the Raiders being just two days away, Lamb seems to be trending toward inactive status for the contest, though McCarthy noted the second-year wideout is staying mentally…read more

Estimated as non-participant
The Cowboys estimated Lamb (concussion) as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Given that Lamb was diagnosed with the concussion about 24 hours earlier in Dallas' 19-9 loss to Kansas City, his listing as a non-participant on the Cowboys' initial Week 12 injury report hardly qualifies as a surprise. He'll have three more days to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Thursday's game against the Raiders, which will be a difficult task despite Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones noting earlier Monday that Lamb is doing well in the early stages of his…read more

Could play Thursday
Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Lamb (concussion) is "doing really well" and will have a chance to play Thursday against the Raiders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb sustained a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, and while he apparently improved overnight, the receiver will have several steps to clear under the league's protocol for head injuries to be able to play. Because Amari Cooper (illness) will be unavailable Thursday, Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson would take on leading roles if Lamb doesn't gain clearance in time.

Suffers concussion Sunday
Lamb won't return to Sunday's game at Kansas City due to a concussion, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Lamb may have been injured when he attempted to break up a Dak Prescott interception at the end of the first half, when his helmet hit the turf as he landed. The second-year wide receiver stayed down for a few seconds and then didn't emerge from the locker room after halftime with his teammates. With a concussion confirmed, Lamb is in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Raiders, as is Amari Cooper, who won't suit up next week after testing positive for COVID-19 on Friday.

Should be ready for Week 11
Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Lamb (arm) is "going to be fine" for the team's Week 11 game in Kansas City, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Lamb exited in the second half of Sunday's 43-3 win over the Falcons with an arm contusion, but not before turning in his second-best fantasy outing of the season (six receptions for 94 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets). The blowout nature of the contest may have prompted Dallas to exercise caution with Lamb, but the second-year wideout should be ready to handle a full workload by the time the weekend arrives.

Dealing with bruised arm

Analysis: Lamb sustained the injury in the first half but still put together one of his best performances of the season before exiting, sitting on six catches (on seven targets) for 94 yards and two touchdowns by the end of the third quarter.

Only 23 yards
Lamb recorded two receptions on nine targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Lamb led the team with nine targets, but his line was representative of the Cowboys offensive dysfunction. His longest reception of the day went for 18 yards and served as his primary production for the entire game. While it was a disappointing performance, Lamb should be in for a bounce-back effort in Week 10 against Atlanta, as he entered the contest having posted consecutive 100-yard performances.

Lamb (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb sandwiched limited practices around an absence Thursday as he dealt with an ankle injury during Week 9 prep, but the issue won't keep him off the field on game day. Fellow wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) also had practice limitations this week but will be available to Dak Prescott (calf) as the quarterback makes his return after missing one game. In seven appearances this season, Lamb has three 100-yard efforts and a robust 39-609-4 receiving line on 57 targets overall.

Analysis: Lamb sustained the injury during Wednesday's session, limiting his practice reps. After failing to log any activity Thursday, though, his status now appears murky just three days before a Week 9 matchup with the Broncos. Lamb will have one more chance to get on the field before the Cowboys post their final practice report of the week, but he seems likely to exit it with at least a questionable designation.

Limited again by sprained ankle
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed Lamb is dealing with a sprained ankle and will remain a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: McCarthy noted that Lamb sustained the injury in Wednesday's practice rather than in the Cowboys' Week 8 win over the Vikings, resulting in the second-year wideout opening Week 9 prep as a limited participant. The fact that he's back on the field a day later in some capacity suggests that the sprain is a minor one, but the injury is still something fantasy managers will need to monitor heading into the weekend. If Lamb isn't able to upgrade to full participation by Friday, he'll likely carry a…read more

Lamb was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report due to an ankle injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: A 2020 first-round pick, Lamb has avoided practice limitations to this point in his career, and the fact he took part in some capacity at what the Cowboys called a "scaled-back" session bodes well for his chances to be available Sunday versus the Broncos. Still, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on, along with those of Dak Prescott (calf) and Amari Cooper (hamstring), who also were limited Wednesday.

Lamb caught six of eight targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Backup quarterback Cooper Rush was forced into action with Dak Prescott (calf) being ruled out prior to kickoff, but the change under center did not limit Lamb's production. It was the 22-year-old's third triple-digit receiving game this season after he recorded just two during his entire rookie campaign.

Overtime hero in two-TD game
Lamb caught nine of 11 targets for 149 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-29 overtime win over the Patriots.
Analysis: After a quiet first half, Lamb shredded the New England secondary after the break, grabbing a one-yard TD strike late in the third quarter and then settling under a 35-yard pass from Dak Prescott for the game-winning score in OT while making a number of crucial catches in between. The second-year receiver heads into Dallas' Week 7 bye with 33 receptions on 49 targets for 497 yards and four TDs.

Lamb brought in four of six targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 44-20 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also rushed once for four yards.
Analysis: Lamb's receiving yardage tally paced the Cowboys on the afternoon, while his 49-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter served as a game-long catch. The second-year wideout's overall production was a welcome contrast to Lamb's season-worst 2-13 line in Week 5 against the Panthers, and he'll look to keep the momentum in a Week 6 road showdown with the tough Patriots secondary.

Lamb recorded two receptions on five targets for 13 yards in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Despite the down performance, Lamb managed to finish second on the team with five targets. However, Dak Prescott attempted only 22 passes, which limited the volume for all Dallas receivers. Even taking that into account, Lamb's production across the last two weeks has become concerning, as he's commanded only eight targets for five receptions and 79 yards combined. In Week 5, Lamb and the Cowboys will take on the Giants.

The second-year wideout made a couple grabs afterward as well, but it surprisingly was tight end Dalton Schultz who led the Cowboys in all major receiving categories.

Leading receiver in win
Lamb caught eight of nine targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chargers. He also gained 13 rushing yards on his lone carry.
Analysis: The second-year receiver was the only Cowboy to see more than five targets or catch more than three passes on the afternoon, and he hauled in more than double the yardage of any of his teammates. It was a quiet day overall for the team's aerial attack as offensive coordinator Kellen Moore focused on getting the Dallas running game going, but Lamb has so far been matchup-proof in 2021 heading into a Week 3 clash with the Eagles.

Excels in Week 1 loss
Lamb secured seven of 15 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 31-29 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night. He also returned one punt for 12 yards.
Analysis: If not for the otherworldly exploits of teammate Amari Cooper (13-139-2), Lamb's play would have been the talk of the Cowboys' pass-catching corps. The second-year pro was an effective complementary source of production throughout the night alongside Cooper and helped answer an early Buccaneers touchdown with a 22-yard scoring grab late in the first quarter. Even with the sub-50-percent catch rate for the night, Lamb and Dak Prescott appear to already be in sync despite a relatively sparse…read more

Rejoins teammates
Lamb was activated from the reserve/COVID list Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The second-year pro missed a little more than a week of practice and finished the preseason with just one catch for 13 yards. The Cowboys start their campaign on the road against the Super Bowl champion Buccaneers, but with Dak Prescott (shoulder) seemingly healthy, Dallas should at least be able to move the ball Thursday night. Lamb was well on his way to a 1,000-yard rookie campaign before Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle fracture in Week 5 last year.

Little work in Saturday's loss
Lamb caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The Cowboys only had their offensive starters on the field for the first quarter, but as the group included Garrett Gilbert under center and not Dak Prescott (shoulder), there wasn't much production to go around. Lamb is locked into a significant role in the passing game when the regular season begins, but the second-year wideout's chances of putting together an explosive campaign will be tied to Prescott's health.

In line to play Friday
Lamb is slated to play in Friday's preseason game at Arizona, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Lamb was held out of last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, but considering he's in uniform during pregame warmups Friday, he should log some action for the first time in an exhibition. There's a good chance he doesn't see more than a series or two, though, with two more preseason games on the slate after Friday's contest.

May not play Thursday night
Lamb may not play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against Pittsburgh, according to DallasCowboys.com.
Analysis: Lamb is healthy and isn't on the list of 16 players who won't make the trip, but that doesn't mean he'll actually play snaps in the first of Dallas' four preseason games. Reports out of Cowboys camp suggest the second-year pro has been fantastic this summer, with David Helman of the Cowboys' official site even noting that Lamb has reached the "Dez [Bryant] level" of domination in practice.

Getting more perimeter work
Lamb has been working at four different receiver spots this offseason, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Most NFL offenses have an X receiver, a Z and a slot, but the Cowboys apparently have a fourth designation as well. The larger point is that Lamb has become more comfortable in Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore's scheme, so the young wideout may now see more work on the perimeter, after largely playing the slot as a rookie. He'll still see plenty of inside work in three-wide formations, perhaps moving outside to replace Michael Gallup in two-wide sets. That could in turn allow Lamb to run a few…read more

Five grabs in Sunday's finale
Lamb caught five of seven targets for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants, adding three rushing yards on his only carry.
Analysis: The 17th overall pick in the 2020 draft more than lived up to his prospect hype with a strong rookie season, as Lamb posted a 74-935-5 line on 111 targets despite losing his starting quarterback, Dak Prescott (ankle), in Week 5. Had Prescott stayed under center, Lamb might have been neck and neck with Minnesota's Justin Jefferson in a race to re-write the rookie WR record book -- he was on pace for 93 catches and 1,385 yards through his first five games. Assuming Prescott is back and healthy in…read more

Finds end zone twice against Eagles
Lamb caught three of five targets for 65 yards and a touchdown and added a second TD on a 19-yard carry in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: While he managed only about half of the yardage Michael Gallup or Amari Cooper did through the air, Lamb made up for it with his fourth-quarter touchdown run, capping the scoring in the rout. The rookie has now scored seven TDs on the season -- five receiving, one rushing and one on last week's return of an onside kick -- and he needs 108 more receiving yards for 1,000 on the year. Lamb will take aim at that milestone in Week 17's clash with the Giants, as both teams remain alive in the hunt…read more

Scores on onside kick return
Lamb caught five of seven targets for 85 yards and scored a touchdown on an onside kick return during Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Lamb averaged an impressive 17.0 yards per catch thanks in large part to a career-long 45-yard reception. He finished with his third-best receiving output of the season and topped off his day with a touchdown on an onside kick return in the final moments. This strong showing represented Lamb's third-best receiving output of the season and his best since Week 5. He'll look to add to his impressive rookie numbers next Sunday against the Eagles.

Just two catches in win
Lamb caught both his targets for 46 yards and gained 15 rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: The Cowboys' passing game didn't need to do much after three early Cincinnati fumbles led to 17 first-half points for Dallas, but Lamb made the most of his limited opportunities. The two targets were a season low for the rookie, and he hasn't reached 50 receiving yards in four straight games heading into Week 15's clash with the 49ers.

Tallies six grabs in loss
Lamb secured six of nine targets for 46 yards in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night.
Analysis: The rookie was particularly involved in the first half, and even though his involvement waned in the latter portions of the contest, he still finished second to Michael Gallup in targets, receptions and receiving yards. Lamb's now gone without a touchdown in two straight contests following back-to-back games with a score, so he'll look to start a new streak at the expense of the Bengals in Week 14.

Five catches against Washington
Lamb caught five of seven targets for 21 yards in Thursday's loss to Washington.
Analysis: He saw only one less catch and one less target than Amari Cooper or Michael Gallup, but the rookie receiver did very little with his opportunities and dropped what should have been a 10-yard touchdown late in the third quarter when the game's outcome was still in doubt. Lamb has now failed to top 40 yards in four of the last five games, posting a 17-153-2 line on 30 targets over that stretch, but his steady target volume should keep him on the fantasy radar even if he's little more than a…read more

TD grab in win over Vikings
Lamb caught four of six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Vikings. He also gained 12 rushing yards on two carries and ran in a two-point conversion.
Analysis: While the rookie didn't gain much real estate, Lamb grabbed his fourth TD of the season in the second quarter on a four-yard toss from Andy Dalton. The entire Cowboys offense looked much improved after the team's bye with Dalton back under center, and as a result Lamb's fantasy fortunes are on the upswing again heading into a Thanksgiving clash with Washington.

Hauls in third TD in loss
Lamb caught four of seven targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: The switch to Garrett Gilbert at quarterback restored a bit of a spark to the Cowboys' passing game, and Lamb put together his best performance since Dak Prescott (ankle) was injured, with his second-quarter TD giving the Cowboys a surprising 10-0 lead that eventually evaporated. Despite the turmoil around him, the rookie wideout continues to impress, but whether Gilbert or Andy Dalton (concussion/illness) will be throwing him passes coming out of the team's Week 10 bye remains to be seen.

Five touches in SNF loss
Lamb caught four of five targets for 27 yards while adding 19 yards on his lone carry in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Lamb was held without a catch last week, so while his production was modest at best, it was actually a step in the right direction during the Ben Dinucci Era. The talented rookie is unlikely to put up those triple-digit receiving games we saw earlier this year until Dak Prescott (leg) returns next season, and it looks like he may not be posting any useful fantasy lines so long as the team is deploying its third-string quarterback. Andy Dalton (concussion) could return this week, but the…read more

Held without a catch
Lamb failed to catch any of his five targets and gained one yard on his lone rushing attempt during Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Football Team.
Analysis: Lamb couldn't bring in any passes from Andy Dalton (concussion) and hardly stood a chance on any of the looks rookie third-string quarterback Ben DiNucci sent his way after entering the game. He had at least five receptions and seven targets in every game entering this contest, so the goose egg was a large departure from what fantasy managers had come to expect. Lamb's struggles could continue in next Sunday night's game against the Eagles if the team can't field a competent starter at…read more

Team-high reception tally Monday
Lamb hauled in seven of 10 targets for 64 yards in the Cowboys' 38-10 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night. He also netted one yard on two punt returns and fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Lamb tied Amari Cooper for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to him in receiving yardage. New starter Andy Dalton locked in on Lamb frequently during the second half, although as the rookie receiver's final line demonstrates, almost all of the throws were very close to the line of scrimmage. The fact that Lamb logged a double-digit target total in his first game with Dalton under center gives fantasy managers reason for optimism, and he'll look to put together another…read more

Career-high yardage in win
Lamb caught eight of 11 targets for a career-high 124 yards in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Giants.
Analysis: The rookie was Dak Prescott's favorite target through the early part of the game, and no other Cowboys receiver ended the afternoon with more than four targets. However, after Prescott left in the third quarter with a likely season-ending ankle injury and Andy Dalton took over under center, it was Michael Gallup who was on the end of two huge completions to set up the game-winning field goal. It remains to be seen what the Dallas passing game will look like with Dalton taking the reins, but…read more

Scores first two TDs
Lamb caught five of seven targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns while adding one three-yard carry during Sunday's 49-38 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Lamb was wide open for a 43-yard touchdown in the first quarter and capped off his team's scoring for the day with a five-yard strike in the fourth. He had yet to reach the end zone through his first three NFL games, so his ability to get behind the defense and his usage in the red zone Sunday were positive developments for his future fantasy value. Moreover, Lamb finished second on the team in receiving yards and is now on pace for over 1,200 yards in his rookie year, making him a viable…read more

Solid numbers in loss
Lamb caught five of six targets for 65 yards and gained one rushing yard on one carry in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: In a vacuum it looks like a solid performance, but Lamb actually finished fourth on the Cowboys in receiving yards on a day when Dak Prescott aired it out 57 times. The rookie wideout has looked good to begin his career, catching 16 of 21 targets for 230 yards and a TD through three games, and he'll try to add to those numbers Week 4 against a Browns defense that's already given up five touchdowns to opposing WRs.

Team's top receiver against Atlanta
Lamb hauled in six of nine targets for 106 receiving yards during Sunday's 40-39 win against the Falcons.
Analysis: The first-round rookie wideout had an encouraging yet modest NFL debut last week, registering 59 receiving yards on five catches. However, Week 2 marked his breakout. Lamb and Amari Cooper torched the depleted Falcons secondary, combining for a dozen catches and more than 200 yards on the afternoon. Lamb contributed an enormous play in the waning stages of Sunday's contest, tearing off a 24-yard gain on Dallas' final drive to set up Greg Zuerlein with a 46-yard field goal for the walkoff win.…read more

Posts 59 yards in NFL debut
Lamb had five catches (six targets) for 59 yards in a 20-17 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Lamb made a big splash with a 33-yard reception on a deep crossing pattern, but it was otherwise a quiet night for the 17th overall pick in his NFL debut. Even without a preseason, the rookie didn't look overmatched in his first taste of action against an NFL defense (and a good one at that). Amari Cooper led all Cowboy wideouts by a wide margin in terms of receptions (10) and targets (14), so it appears Lamb and fellow starter Michael Gallup (three receptions for 50 yards) will share No. 2…read more

Continues to impress in camp
Lamb has lined up both outside and in the slot during camp and has looked comfortable in all formations, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore seems intent on finding ways to get the ball into the rookie's hands, as Lamb has been used on jet sweeps and reverses as well. It remains to be seen how big a workload Lamb can carve out working behind established options Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup this season, but he has the talent to make an impact on a per-touch basis even if he doesn't get a lot of volume.

Wows with one-handed grab
Lamb made a big impression during individual drills Friday by making a spectacular one-handed grab, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: While the catch itself was noteworthy enough, Lamb also got a chance to showcase his elite body control as he adjusted to a throw that was high and behind him. The rookie also took reps as a punt returner, but it's his ability as a receiver in a potentially high-volume Dallas passing game that gives Lamb such intrigue as a fantasy asset, even with Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup ahead of him on the depth chart.

Could make impact as returner
Lamb could be used as the Cowboys' primary punt returner in addition to his duties on offense, Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com reports.
Analysis: Dallas hasn't had a player return a punt for a touchdown since 2017 and didn't have a single punt return over 15 yards last season, so the door is wide open for Lamb to seize the job. The rookie receiver had three returns of 40-plus yards during his college career and an 8.8 yard average on punt returns, and his elusiveness in the open field could make him a weapon on new coach John Fassel's special teams unit.
