Fantasy Football Player Notes

Back from his concussion in Week 14, Lamb casually put up his third straight 110+ yard performance. With at least six receptions in each of his last three games, Lamb is one of the steadiest receivers heading into the fantasy playoffs. Unfortunately, the Cowboys take on a Chargers' team that has been the best defense against opposing wide receivers all season. Averaging the fewest fantasy points per game at the position, even the high-flying Cowboys may have trouble moving the ball through the air. Either way, coming off a tough loss to the Vikings, the Cowboys' defense will force Dak Prescott to throw to keep them in the game. As a result, he may have a lower ceiling than usual, but Lamb is still a fantasy stalwart this week.

Jake Ferguson is the TE8 in fantasy points per game with a 17.5% target share, 40.7 receiving yards per game, 1.34 yards per route run, and a 19.7% first-read share. Ferguson ranks second in red zone targets among tight ends while also kicking in four deep targets. Ferguson should provide solid TE1 production this week. Since Week 10, the Bolts have allowed the fifth-most yards per target and the 13th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
