CeeDee Lamb Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's loss at Atlanta, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb injured his right shoulder in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. He was able to return -- but aggravated the issue late in the fourth quarter. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Lamb returned to catch a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter but was obviously hurting.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb delivered his biggest fantasy line so far this season in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers. He racked up 13 catches for 146 yards and 2 TDs on 17 targets. That accounted for a whopping 44.7% of Dak Prescott's pass attempts for the game and more than doubled his nearest teammate (Jake Ferguson, 8 targets).

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb posted merely fine numbers in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Lions: 7 receptions, 89 yards. But he also saw his largest target share of the season. Lamb's 14 targets constituted 42.4% of QB Dak Prescott's pass attempts for the game. That followed a four-game stretch of down usage vs. his 2023 numbers.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks will miss Sunday night's game vs. the Steelers and might be out beyond that due to a knee infection, ESPN's Todd Archer reports. Cooks had a procedure on the knee after the Week 4 win over the Giants and subsequently developed an infection.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens. After sitting out on Wednesday, he put in a limited practice on Thursday and was a full-go on Friday. We’re not expecting the ankle to be an issue this weekend. Lamb remains a must-start.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He said afterward that he took Wednesday off to rest a sore ankle but that it felt fine on Thursday. We'll see what Lamb does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report, but we're tentatively projecting him to play his usual role vs. the Ravens on Sunday.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. "Sounds like nothing major," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero tweeted. Lamb can stay penciled into Week 3 fantasy lineups for now. We'll let you know if he gets back on the practice field tomorrow.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb has signed a four-year, $136 million deal, securing him as the second-highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. He earned the largest WR signing bonus ever at $38 million. This ends the ongoing stalemate between the Cowboys and Lamb while Lamb was holding out of training camp and the preseason.

There's "optimism" that WR CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys agree to a new contract soon, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Lamb has yet to participate in training camp or preseason as he angles for a new deal. Dallas' regular-season opener is two weeks from today.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb's holdout should be done soon. "I've heard from two different league sources that Lamb's deal in Dallas is getting done soon, in plenty of time for him to be on the field and fully up to speed when the Cowboys take their first snap of the regular season in Cleveland."

Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert has been working as the Cowboys No. 2 WR behind WR Brandin Cooks with WR CeeDee Lamb not participating. Tolbert is heading into his third season and is building a rapport with QB Dak Prescott.

Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports that WR CeeDee Lamb plans to hold out when Cowboys training camp opens Wednesday. Lamb and the team have been working on a contract extension but have yet to work anything out.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb skipped offseason workouts ahead of what’s currently a contract year. Just note: That could change at any moment. Considering potential new deals for Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons, The Athletic’s Saad Yousuf believes Lamb is the Cowboy “most likely” to get paid before training camp. Yousuf writes that the contract “framework” is already in place following Justin Jefferson’s extension.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb is skipping voluntary workouts and might hold out of mandatory work in June, according to The Dallas Morning News' Michael Gehlken. Lamb is entering the final year of his rookie deal and is rightfully looking for a big raise. He's coming off a massive 2023 season, posting a 135-1,749-12 line and leading all WRs in fantasy points. Lamb will undoubtedly get a new deal from the Cowboys, but we'll see how long it takes owner Jerry Jones to open up his wallet. For now, consider Lamb's short- and long-term fantasy value unaffected. He sits atop our redraft and dynasty WR rankings.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb became the fifth WR this season to record at least 200 receiving yards in a game in Week 17 vs. the Lions. The talented wideout ended Saturday’s contest with 13 catches, 227 yards, and a TD that amounted to 40.2 PPR points. Lamb trails only Tyreek Hill with four games of 30+ PPR points in 2023, second among WRs. This achievement just goes to highlight just how utterly dominant he’s been this year. Entering his age-25 season in 2024, Lamb is showing no signs of slowing down and should be thought of as one of the elite dynasty WRs.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott rebounded from a relative down week in the win at Carolina to hang 331 yards and 4 TD passes on the Commanders in Week 12. He did so while spreading the ball around more than usual. WR CeeDee Lamb led the way with 9 targets but posted just a 4-53-1 receiving line. WR Brandin Cooks snagged a 31-yard TD among his 4 receptions for 72 yards on 5 targets. The other two scores went to KaVontae Turpin from 34 yards out and RB Rico Dowdle on a 15-yard catch-and-run. The soft opponent certainly helped, but Prescott has now gone over 300 yards with 3+ TDs in four of his past five games. And his remaining schedule ranks third-best for QB scoring, with no truly worrisome spots. Prescott just might prove to be a league winner for 2023.
