CeeDee Lamb was on track to stuff the stat sheet in Week 9 before he suffered a second-half injury. The All-Pro wide receiver suffered a shoulder injury against the Atlanta Falcons (6-3) and had to watch from the sidelines as the Dallas Cowboys (3-5) suffered their third consecutive loss (21-27) this season.
Ahead of his side's Week 10 game against the Philadelphia Eagles (6-2), let's take a look at the chances of Lamb's availability.
Should fantasy managers be concerned about CeeDee Lamb?
CeeDee Lamb is considered week-to-week, and the Cowboys camp is optimistic that he could play against the Philadelphia Eagles. The three-time Pro Bowler is likely dealing with an AC joint injury in his shoulder, so there's a chance that he could play through the discomfort for the time being.
However, it's important to note that Lamb requires a solid week at rehab and at least one training session to be passed fit. The Cowboys won't risk the long-term health of their star wide receiver for a regular-season game in Week 10 if he's not healthy enough to feature.
So no. Fantasy managers should not be concerned about CeeDee Lamb. The Oklahoma product is as tough as nails and should feature versus the Eagles. Furthermore, Lamb remains the primary offensive weapon in Dallas, so he'll get loads of targets against the Philly secondary.
How has CeeDee Lamb performed this season?
CeeDee Lamb is having a typically efficient session in 2024. The superstar wide receiver has compiled a stat line of 53 catches, 660 receiving yards, and four touchdowns in eight games. He ranks in the top five in both catches and receiving yards at this stage of the season.
Lamb might be performing well, but the Dallas Cowboys are in shambles. The team is paying for Jerry Jones' inability to "go all in" during the offseason, with their offense being one of the most predictable in the league and their defense failing to perform at the high standards of previous seasons.
It remains to be seen just how long head coach Mike McCarthy lasts on the job with this form. However, with Bill Belichick still on the market, we wouldn't be surprised if Jerry Jones makes a big free agency signing before the end of the regular season.
