Fantasy Football Player Notes

CeeDee Lamb is having an incredible season. As a result, it makes sense that he had a huge game in the absence of George Pickens against a weak Colts defense. Catching 10 of his 16 targets for 195 yards and a score, Ryan Flournoy was the only other receiver to crack 25 yards, with two receptions for 53 yards. CeeDee is currently leading the league with 108 targets (JSN is second with 99) and is second at the position in receiving yards. With or without Pickens, Lamb's volume has been incredible this year. If Pickens remains sidelined, we saw the type of ceiling Lamb has last week. This week, they face the 49ers who are firing on all cylinders. It's no surprise that this is projected to be the highest-scoring game of the week, as the Cowboys do not have the horses to slow down Brock Purdy. That means Lamb and company will need to find a way to move the ball against the defense, which has the third-fewest yards per game. It's a tough game, but Lamb is locked in the top five receivers every week.

Not many backs can have three 100-yard games while also having four games under 50 rushing yards and six games under 65 yards. Williams has proven to be the Canary in the coal mine for this Cowboys team. As a solid back, he has not been able to put the the offense on his back when they are struggling. However, he can ride the wave when the offense is rolling. We also saw Tyler Goodson eat into his work more than usual last week, but he is now going to miss tim due to injury. Even though the coaching staff appear to want another back involved, Williams remains the lone option on this team. As a result, his 10 touchdowns in nine games provide consistent RB1 production regardless of his inconsistent yardage totals. This week, they will need to keep up on the scoreboard as they face a dominant 49ers team. It may be tough sledding, but we could see a lot of points in this game.

George Pickens missed last week's game with a hamstring injury. He opened this week with a limited practice. I"ll update his outlook on Friday.

Brevyn Spann-Ford should take over as Dallas's starting tight end this week with Jake Ferguson sidelined. This season, Spann-Ford has had a 20% TPRR, 1.33 YPRR, two red zone targets, and a 6.1% first-read share in limited duty. Last week, he had a 67.6% route share, a 17.2% target share, 1.24 YPRR (31 receiving yards), and a 23.5% first-read share. He's on the streaming radar this week. The 49ers, over their last five games, have allowed the tenth-most receiving fantasy points per game to tight ends while ranking 18th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed.
