        CeeDee Lamb Dominates Targets on Sluggish Passing Night

        By Matt Schauf | Updated on Fri, Sep 5 2025 11:40 AM UTC

        Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb delivered a 7-110-0 receiving line in a Thursday night loss to the Eagles that found the rest of his pass offense contributing nearly nothing. Lamb's 13 targets marked a 38.3% share of QB Dak Prescott's 34 total pass attempts. His 7 catches accounted for 33.3% of the team's total, while the 110 receiving yards made for a 58.5% share.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        The nearest teammates in those categories were:

        • TE Jake Ferguson -- 6 targets, 5 receptions
        • WR George Pickens -- 30 yards

        We obviously can't expect this kind of passing-game domination from Lamb on a weekly basis. But it's comforting for any Lamb manager to see it in the first game with Pickens around, and to get such numbers despite a rough passing night for his team.

        Lamb's numbers could have been even better if not for a pair of fourth-quarter drops.

        Week 2 could provide a friendlier passing matchup in the Giants, though we'll see this Sunday how tough the pass rush might be after adding No. 3 overall pick Edge Abdul Carter.

        Other Winners & Losers

        Pickens obviously comes out as a single-game loser from his Dallas debut, but there's no reason to worry overall. He matched Lamb in playing time, doubling No. 3 WR KaVontae Turpin in total snaps and leading the team in pass routes.

        The Dallas pass offense will find more successful games, and the targets will come.

        Ferguson's a minor winner by ranking second on the team in targets in the opener. Although the Cowboys also targeted two other TEs in the game, Ferguson played 77% of the offensive snaps and ran a route on 83% of Prescott's dropbacks.

        He trailed Pickens by just four total routes and Lamb by three.
