CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys’ top wide receiver, has been out since Week 3 after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the first quarter of the matchup against the Chicago Bears.
In his absence, WR George Pickens, who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers this summer for a mid-round pick, has had arguably the best stretch of his young career, putting up video game numbers with 19 catches, 359 yards, and 4 touchdowns in the past three weeks.
Things are going to get even more exciting in the Dallas wide receivers room, as Lamb has "a chance” to play in Week 7 against the Washington Commanders.
Will CeeDee Lamb Play in Week 7?
At the time of writing on Tuesday morning, it’s too early to make a definitive ruling on whether the Cowboys’ superstar WR will play in Week 7. The final call will likely depend on how effectively Lamb practices this week.
If Lamb does end up suiting up, look for Pickens to resume his normal WR2 role, as Lamb is the Cowboys undisputed WR1 when healthy, this despite Pickens’ high level of play in his absence.
CeeDee Lamb Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook
When Lamb hits the turf, he should immediately take on his heavy-duty workload; he had 24 targets in the first two weeks of the season.
The Cowboys’ offense has been firing on all cylinders lately, which is fortunate, as they’ve had one of the worst scoring defenses in the NFL this season. This forces QB Dak Prescott into far more throwing situations, with Lamb and Pickens the main beneficiaries of that added target volume.
With games against the Washington Commanders, Las Vegas Raiders, and Arizona Cardinals coming up in the next four weeks, expect all of the Cowboys’ receiving options — Lamb included — to be plenty busy for your fantasy football squads.
CeeDee Lamb's return will make the NFL — both in terms of fantasy and reality football — that much more exciting.
