CeeDee Lamb Week 5 Outlook - Buccaneers at Cowboys

By Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros), Tue, Oct 6th 2026, 8:46pm EDT

Lamb has had by far his best start to any season so far. With nearly 500 receiving yards in four games and averaging a touchdown per game, he has been phenomenal. Unfortunately, this production has come at the expense of George Pickens, but if you have Lamb, that doesn't matter. What does matter is that Pickens could return to form any week, sharing what has been a dominant workload for Lamb. As long as that doesn't happen, Lamb is arguably the best receiver in fantasy. Even if Pickens re-emerges, Lamb would only fall into the mid-WR1 territory. This week, they have a tough matchup against the Bucs, who have allowed the fifth fewest fantasy points to the WR position.
