CeeDee Lamb Week 13 Outlook - Cowboys at Ravens

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 3rd 2020, 10:24am EST

The demise since Dak Prescott left the lineup continued in Week 12, as Lamb failed to top 34 yards for the fourth time in five games. He's getting the volume necessary to produce, as he's seen at least five targets in every game, including seven-plus targets in 7-of-11 games. The reason it's hard to forget about him is due to the fact that he's seen 28.6 percent of the Cowboys' targets inside the 10-yard line, giving him plenty of touchdown opportunities. Will the Cowboys be inside the 10-yard line very often this week? The Ravens have allowed just six touchdowns to wide receivers all season, which is the lowest total in the league. Lamb seems to have gotten an upgrade when the Ravens played on Wednesday, as he was slated to see Marlon Humphrey in coverage, one of the best slot cornerbacks in football. However, with Jimmy Smith needing to leave with another injury, that pushes Humphrey to the perimeter, and matches Lamb up with 37-year-old Tramon Williams. He came in and allowed the touchdown to JuJu Smith-Schuster on Wednesday. He's still not a bad cornerback, but could have trouble keeping up with the youngster all game. There have been 19 wide receivers who've either scored or posted 50-plus yards against the Ravens, so it's not all bad, but pay attention to the status of Jimmy Smith, as his absence would upgrade Lamb's matchup. For now, Lamb should be considered a low-end WR3/high-end WR4.
