Fantasy Impact

Lamb will be good to go for Sunday’s game against the Ravens. He missed practice earlier this week because of an ankle injury, but it was just some minor soreness and he should be playing at 100%. Fantasy managers should have no reservations about starting the star wideout in a competitive game against the Ravens.

Dallas Cowboys star WR CeeDee Lamb was not present at practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

Lamb’s status comes as a surprise after the Cowboys’ blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints. The first-round fantasy pick’s status should be monitored to see if he can return on Thursday, potentially signifying this as a precautionary measure after being away from the team all offseason. Lamb had four catches for 90 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero added that it appears to be “nothing major” for Lamb.

What the Experts Are Saying

CeeDee Lamb scored his first touchdown of 2024 last week. It was a catch-and-run that saw him evade a pair of would-be tacklers and score from 65 yards out. Lamb will look to break out against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. This matchup has all the makings of a game Lamb will be heavily involved in. The Ravens have been a bit vulnerable to top receivers so far this year. Rashee Rice and Davante Adams have each posted top-16 weekly finishes against the Ravens. Like Rice, Lamb lines up in the slot on a majority of snaps. Ravens slot corner Kyle Hamilton has allowed receptions on all nine targets in his direction. Baltimore has also allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL thus far. With Dallas struggling to generate much on the ground, expect them to feed Lamb early and often. Lamb could easily have double-digit receptions this week, making him an elite WR1 option.
