It can be so easy to panic in fantasy football. After all, we have a very limited amount of time to witness and analyze a player’s performance. But never fear — Dalton Del Don is here to gauge exactly how worried we should be — if at all.
CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys’ offense remains dysfunctional (ranking 20th in points per game after leading the league last season), and Dak Prescott is likely headed to IR with a hamstring injury. Lamb is also dealing with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, leaving his Week 10 status in question.
Lamb has been a mild fantasy disappointment as the WR4 after getting drafted as the WR1 in most leagues. But he’s racked up a whopping 43 targets over the last three games, and his volume didn’t take off until the second half of last season as well. Lamb saw a 32.8% target share, a 41.2% first-read target rate and a 78.6% catchable target rate from Cooper Rush last season. He’s averaged 9.5 targets, 82 yards and 16.7 fantasy points over six games with Dallas’ backup QB.
Lamb remains a top-10 WR without Prescott, but his ceiling lowers. He also has a tough matchup this week against a Philadelphia secondary that’s ceded the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers over the last four weeks. The Cowboys have a lowly 17.25-point implied total this week, and Lamb’s shoulder is banged up. Expectations should be lowered accordingly.

He’s averaged 189.2 passing yards with a 3:4 TD:INT ratio over six games this season when not facing a bottom-two pass defense in DVOA.
Williams ranks dead last in catchable target rate outside the pocket while…
