Clears protocol, ready for Sunday
Lamb cleared concussion protocol Friday and will be available to play Sunday against the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After sustaining the concussion in last Thursday's loss to the Lions, Lamb made rapid progress through the five-step protocol. He took the field for the Cowboys' first Week 15 practice Wednesday as a limited participant, then took another step forward Thursday, when he upgraded to full participation. Lamb has since been removed from the protocol after being cleared by an independent neurologist, setting the stage for him to handle his typical role Sunday. Since returning to action Week 7…read more

Gets back to full Thursday
Lamb (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb exited in the third quarter of last Thursday's loss at Detroit due to a concussion, but after following up Wednesday's limited session with an uncapped practice one day later, he seems to be on the precipice of clearing the protocol for head injuries. Speaking of that, coach Brian Schottenheimer told Todd Archer of ESPN.com on Wednesday that Lamb had to "clear two more hurdles." Considering Lamb practiced without restrictions Thursday, he likely only has an evaluation with an independent…read more

Limited Wednesday
Lamb (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb sustained a concussion in the third quarter of last Thursday's loss at Detroit, and while he remains in the protocol for head injuries as of Wednesday, as coach Brian Schottenheimer told Todd Archer of ESPN.com, the wide receiver must "clear two more hurdles," including gaining clearance from an independent neurologist. Lamb will have two more chances to practice fully this week before the Cowboys likely tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Taking part in drills
Lamb (concussion) is participating in drills at Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb appears to be taking part in Wednesday's practice in at least a limited capacity, a positive sign after he sustained a concussion during the Cowboys' loss to the Lions on Thursday, Dec. 4. The star wideout will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, before returning to Dallas' starting lineup, so his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings remains uncertain. Lamb's progress so far has nonetheless been encouraging.

Progressing well
Coach Brian Schottenheimer noted Monday that Lamb, who sustained a concussion during the Cowboys' loss to the Lions this past Thursday, is "doing good. Progressing nicely," Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With added recovery time ahead of Week 15, Lamb is trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Vikings approaches. The star wideout's progress through the concussion protocol will begin to come into focus when the team's next official injury report is posted Wednesday.

Optimism for Week 15
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer relayed to reporters Friday that Lamb "had a good day" one day after sustaining a concussion during the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Lamb was in the midst of his most productive game of the season Thursday before exiting in the third quarter due to a concussion. He and the Cowboys have additional time to rest and recover ahead of their Week 15 clash against the Vikings on Sunday, Dec. 14, but the sixth-year wideout will have to pass an evaluation administered by an independent neurologist in order to clear the league's concussion protocol. If Lamb were to miss time, George Pickens would assume the WR1 spot and Ryan Flournoy,…read more

Analysis: Lamb hit his head and shoulder hard after making a leaping attempt for a reception in the end zone early in the third quarter. He was briefly evaluated in the medical tent before heading to the locker room, and he was quickly ruled out from there. Prior to his exit, Lamb had six receptions (on eight targets) for 121 yards.

Analysis: Lamb went up for a jump ball in the end zone early in the third quarter and came down hard on his head and shoulder. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, though he's likely being evaluated for a concussion at a minimum. After spending a brief time in the medical tent, Lamb walked to the locker room.

Rebounds with big Week 13 effort
Lamb caught seven of nine targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: George Pickens led the Cowboys in targets once again, but Lamb paced the team's pass catchers in receptions and yards, capping his performance with a 15-yard TD from Dak Prescott in the first quarter. It's the fourth time in nine games this season Lamb has hit for triple-digit yards, and the issues he had hanging onto the ball against the Eagles last week were nowhere to be found. The 26-year-old wideout will take a 51-744-3 line on 81 targets into a Week 14 clash with the Lions.

Picks up 75 yards
Lamb recorded four receptions on 11 targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Lamb led the Cowboys in targets, though he was outpaced in every other statistic by George Pickens. Positively, Lamb recorded a 48-yard catch late in the third quarter that helped set up a key touchdown as Dallas came back from a three-score deficit. However, much like his performance in Week 1 against the Eagles, Lamb's performance was defined by a few uncharacteristic drops.

Analysis: Lamb was sidelined for the Cowboys' opening possession for disciplinary reasons per Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com, but he rebounded for a solid effort. George Pickens led the team in targets, receptions and yards, though Lamb still managed to make an impact with an 18-yard touchdown early in the first quarter while also logging another long gain of 23 yards.

Lamb brought in seven of 12 targets for 85 yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.
Analysis: Lamb led the Cowboys across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also contributing a team-high 33-yard reception. The overall numbers were certainly solid from a fantasy perspective, but they came in a disappointing home loss that dropped the Cowboys to two games under .500.

Lamb finished with five receptions (on eight targets) for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Lamb made a triumphant return from an ankle injury that forced him to miss the Cowboys' last three contests. The superstar wideout looked every bit of his usual self on the field, pacing Dallas in targets and receiving yards while ripping off a 74-yard reception for his first touchdown of the season.

Lamb (ankle) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb apparently wasn't kidding when he said Thursday that he's ready to play and doesn't anticipate any limitations this weekend in his first game action since Week 3. He even upgraded to full participation at the end of the week, following limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. Fellow Cowboys wideout KaVontae Turpin (foot) also is cleared to return this week, potentially pushing Jalen Tolbert and/or Ryan Flournoy to the bench.

Analysis: Since sustaining a left high-ankle sprain early in a Week 3 loss to the Bears, Lamb hasn't logged any practice activity and will wind up missing a third consecutive game Sunday. However, Lamb seemed to show some improvement over the past week, with the wideout appearing to amp up the intensity of his resistance training off to the side during the portions of practice that were open to the media.

Analysis: After making an early exit from a Week 3 loss at Chicago, Lamb was diagnosed with a high left-ankle sprain, which typically is accompanied by a multi-week absence. He already missed this past Sunday's tie with the Packers, but he was able to resume rehab work on the field as of this Wednesday, marking the first notable progress in his recovery effort.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said after Sunday's loss to the Bears the early word on Lamb's ankle injury is positive, and Lamb is believed to have avoided a serious issue, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Jones didn't offer a whole lot in terms of a Lamb update, but the training staff stated Lamb's injury isn't as serious as it could have been, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Lamb got his ankle rolled up underneath him in the first half against Chicago and tried to return but lasted one play before he was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Lamb caught nine of 11 targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants.
Analysis: While his final numbers were overshadowed by Malik Nabers' 9-167-2 line, Lamb came up big for the Cowboys when he needed to and led his team in receiving yards while tying Jake Ferguson for the team lead in catches. Lamb has begun the season with back-to-back 100-yard performances, but he's still looking for his first TD heading into a Week 3 clash with a Bears defense that just got torched by Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Lions.

The star wideout couldn't find the handle on a crisp Dak Prescott third-down throw on the first play of the fourth quarter, and he subsequently saw a perfectly timed lob down the left sideline on fourth down skirt through his hands as he dove for the ball just past the two-minute warning.

Not slated to suit up Friday
Lamb isn't in line to play in Friday's preseason contest against the Falcons, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Lamb thus won't see any exhibition action ahead of the Cowboys' season opener Thursday, Sept. 4 at Philadelphia. Since he was selected in the first round of the 2020 Draft, he has four 1,000-yard campaigns under his belt, three of which he also surpassed 100 catches and averaged nine TDs per year in those seasons. Such output makes him a consensus first-round pick in the vast majority of fantasy drafts.

Agrees to contract restructure
Lamb (shoulder) and the Cowboys agreed to terms Tuesday on a restructured contract that will create roughly $20 million in salary-cap space for the team, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Lamb is working his way back from an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, which caused him to miss the final two games of the 2024 campaign, but he should be fully recovered by the time Dallas' offseason activities begin. The Pro Bowl wideout posted a 101-1,194-6 line on 152 targets across 15 regular-season appearances last season, despite being paired with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) for only eight of those contests. Getting Lamb and Prescott back at full health will provide reason…read more

Officially placed on IR
Lamb (shoulder) has been placed on IR by the Cowboys.
Analysis: The Cowboys previously announced that Lamb will be sidelined for the team's final two games of the season, but the star wideout isn't expected to require surgery to address an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, per Jane Slater of NFL Network. With Lamb sidelined, Brandin Cooks, Jalen Tolbert (finger), Jalen Brooks (knee) KaVontae Turpin, Ryan Flournoy and Jonathan Mingo are the team's rostered wide receivers ahead of Week 17 action.

Out for season with shoulder injury
The Cowboys announced Thursday that Lamb will be sidelined for the final two games of the season but isn't expected to require surgery to address the AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lamb initially injured his shoulder in a Nov. 3 loss to the Falcons, but he had been playing through the issue in the last seven games on his way to accruing a 48-534-2 receiving line on 68 targets and tacking on an additional 18 yards on four carries. After he was limited to a season-low offensive snap share of 55 percent in this past Sunday's 26-24 win over the Buccaneers, he underwent additional exams and scans on his shoulder earlier this week that showed his injury had worsened. Lamb would…read more

Doesn't practice Thursday
Lamb (shoulder) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: This follows a listed DNP for Lamb on Wednesday's practice estimate, which is more work than he's typically missed since coming down with an AC joint injury in his shoulder back in Week 9. As a result, he'll have just one more day to mix into drills this week before the Cowboys potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

Lamb (shoulder) was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb has played through an AC joint injury in his shoulder since Week 9, but he's still suited up for every game in the interim, accumulating a 48-534-2 line on 68 targets over the last seven games. He hasn't missed a beat with quarterback Cooper Rush under center in place of Dak Prescott, but Lamb again will get some rest to kick off Week 17 prep.

Tops 100 yards again
Lamb (shoulder) recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 105 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Lamb dominated the Buccaneers in the first half by posting six receptions for 100 yards, highlighted by long receptions of 34 and 52 yards -- both of which set up points for Dallas. However, he was once again slowed in the second half by a lingering right shoulder AC joint sprain that has limited his snaps in several recent games. Despite that, Lamb has still topped 100 yards in consecutive contests heading into a Week 17 divisional matchup against the Eagles.

Lamb (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb has been tending to an AC joint injury in his shoulder since Week 9, which resulted in a cap on his reps to begin Week 16 prep. However, he got back to full participation Thursday, clearing him to take on the Buccaneers on Sunday. Lamb has a nice on-paper matchup against a Tampa Bay defense that has conceded the third-most catches (192) to opposing wide receivers in 14 games this season.

In six games in the meantime, he's produced a 41-429-2 line on 60 targets.

Big game against Panthers
Lamb recorded nine receptions on 13 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Lamb was peppered with targets throughout the game, as he accounted for 116 of Cooper Rush's 214 passing yards. He delivered long gains of 28 and 20 yards, while also finding the end zone from 14 yards away to tally the Cowboys' first touchdown of the game. Most importantly, Lamb looked to be healthier after being slowed by a shoulder injury for the last several weeks.

Analysis: An AC joint injury in Lamb's shoulder has flared up from time to time since he got hurt Week 9 in Atlanta. He's suited up in each of the Cowboys' five games in the meantime -- all with Cooper Rush under center -- and has racked up 32 catches (on 47 targets) for 313 yards and one touchdown and four carries for 18 more yards.

Lamb brought in six of seven targets for 93 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for one yard in the Cowboys' 27-20 loss to the Bengals on Monday night.
Analysis: Lamb paced the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also recording an 11-yard touchdown grab on fourth down in the first quarter. The star wideout continued to display solid chemistry with Cooper Rush, and Monday night's yardage total tied for Lamb's highest since Rush officially took over starting quarterback duties for Dak Prescott (IR, hamstring) in Week 10.

Analysis: Lamb was confident earlier this week that he'd be able to play in the primetime matchup, and he's now poised to enter an incredibly enticing fantasy position as the primary focal point for an offense that likely will need to move the ball through the air.

Analysis: Lamb said Thursday that he'll play in Monday's game against the Bengals, having regained full range of motion and strength in the shoulder that he re-injured during a Week 13 win over the Giants. He initially suffered an AC joint sprain Week 9 at Atlanta, but he's played in every game this season and doesn't seem especially amenable to shutting things down early amidst a disappointing season for the Cowboys.

Early optimism for Week 14 status
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday that Lamb (shoulder) will benefit from extra rest time between games and should be ready for Week 14 against the Bengals on Mon., Dec. 9, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After suffering an AC joint injury at the beginning of November, the wideout injured/aggravated his same right shoulder in the third quarter of Thursday's win over the Giants. He didn't play any snaps in the fourth quarter but may avoid additional missed time, benefitting from a 10-day gap between games. Lamb has yet to miss a game this season despite being listed on injury reports throughout November due to his shoulder/back/foot.

Quiet in win
Lamb recorded two receptions on six targets for 39 yards in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Several factors came together to result in a disappointing day for Lamb. He uncharacteristically dropped a few of his opportunities early in the game, and he then appeared to suffer an upper-body injury that limited him across the second-half of the contest. The team didn't provide any official update or give Lamb an injury designation, though his practice status will be worth monitoring heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.

Dak Prescott (hamstring) is expected to miss a significant amount of time, which hurts every skill position player on Dallas' roster significantly.

Lamb recorded seven receptions on 14 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 49-7 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Lamb turned in a reasonable fantasy performance on the surface, but his path to getting there is less reassuring. He got off to a quick start by tallying three receptions for 31 yards on the Cowboys' opening drive but was then limited to very short gains until he turned in a pair of 19-yard receptions with Dallas down by four scores late in the third quarter. Overall, Lamb averaged only 6.4 yards per target and has still yet to hit 100 receiving yards in a game this season.

Lamb had five receptions (nine targets) for 62 yards while adding one rush for three yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Lamb didn't have a standout performance on Sunday Night Football, and teammates Rico Dowdle and Jalen Tolbert collected both of Dak Prescott's touchdown passes in the comeback victory. The 25-year-old Lamb has produced a 25-378-2 receiving line through five games with Dallas this year as the team prepares to host Detroit next Sunday.

Paces pass catchers in win
Lamb secured seven of eight targets for 98 yards and a touchdown and rushed three times for eight yards in the Cowboys' 20-15 win over the Giants on Thursday night.
Analysis: Lamb co-led the Cowboys in receptions and set the pace in both receiving yards and targets for the team on the night. The star wideout also recorded his second touchdown of the season on a 55-yard grab in the second quarter, a fitting antidote for any lingering tension there may have been between him and Dak Prescott stemming from a Week 3 sideline argument. Lamb still is on a quest for his first 100-yard game of the season, a benchmark he'll next have a chance of hitting in a Week 5 road…read more

Quiet against Baltimore
Lamb recorded four catches on seven targets for 67 yards while also losing a fumble in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Lamb saw a disappointing seven targets on Dak Prescott's 51 pass attempts and had a muted stat line against Baltimore. Interestingly, he had the majority of his production in the first half when Dallas struggled to move the ball, yet he was mostly silent as the team made a furious comeback late in the contest. Much like the Cowboys offense, Lamb has gotten off to a disappointing start to the season, as he's been held under 70 receiving yards in two of three games and has yet to hit 100 yards in…read more

Cleared to face Ravens
Lamb (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lamb rested Wednesday before upgrading to a limited practice Thursday and full participation Friday. He should be fine for his usual role as a near every-down player and target hog this Sunday against a Ravens defense that has started the season slow under new coordinator Zach Orr.

On track to play
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday that he's confident Lamb (ankle) will play Sunday against Baltimore, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Mike McCarthy expressed similar optimism Thursday, when Lamb returned to practice as a limited participant after missing Wednesday's session. Lamb himself told Machota that he's fine and that the issue is nothing more than soreness. It sounds like he may even avoid an injury designation on the Cowboys' final Week 3 injury report.

Back practicing, should play Week 3
Head coach Mike McCarthy said Lamb (ankle) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lamb was held out of the Cowboys' first Week 3 practice Wednesday, but McCarthy notes that the receiver's ankle injury is "not of high concern," according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. The Cowboys expect Lamb to be available for Sunday's game against the Ravens, though he might need to upgrade to full practice participation Friday to avoid taking a questionable tag into the weekend.

Sits out practice with ankle issue
Lamb was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: The ankle injury is the first mention of a health concern for Lamb this season, but he at least has two more sessions this week to put himself in a position to suit up Sunday against the Ravens. Through two games on the campaign, he's gathered in nine of 17 targets for 151 yards and one touchdown.

Catches first TD of 2024
Lamb caught four of seven targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: It didn't take Lamb too long to show that he was back up to speed after his training-camp holdout, hauling in a 65-yard TD in the second quarter that saw him beat two defenders along the sideline before sprinting to the end zone. It's Lamb's first touchdown of the season after he scored a career-high 14 in 2023, 12 receiving and two rushing. He remains Dak Prescott's top target heading into a Week 3 clash with the Ravens.

Limited production in blowout win
Lamb recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 33-17 win over Cleveland. He added three rushes for 25 yards.
Analysis: Lamb was unsurprisingly the leading producer among Dallas' receiving corps, though game context slowed his overall production. By halftime, Lamb had four receptions for 58 yards, highlighted by a 32-yard reception down the right sideline midway through the first quarter. However, with the Cowboys up 27-3 just two minutes into the second half, they rarely took to the air in the final 28 minutes of game time, thus limiting Lamb's Week 1 line.

Officially off exempt list
Lamb was officially removed from the reserve/commissioner's exempt list and will play in Sunday's season opener against the Browns, Nick Harris of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: After signing a massive four-year, $136 million extension last week, this was the expected outcome. Lamb will enter Sunday's difficult matchup against a potent Browns defense with little ramp up after holding out throughout the majority of training camp. However, with few reliable receiving options outside of Brandin Cooks, there's been zero indication the Cowboys plan to bring Lamb along slowly Week 1.

Ramping up for Week 1
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that Lamb, who remains on the reserve/commissioner's exempt list, is "building up to Sunday," Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After agreeing to a four-year, $136 million extension last week, Lamb was placed on the aforementioned exempt list, and the Cowboys consequently were granted a two-game roster exemption. There's an expectation that the wide receiver will return to the active roster in time for Sunday's game at Cleveland, but such a move has yet to come to pass.

The Cowboys were granted a two-game roster exemption for Lamb on Tuesday and have placed him on the commissioner's exempt list, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lamb returned to practice Tuesday, one day after inking a lucrative four-year, $136 million contract extension with the Cowboys, though Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports the star wideout is currently limited to individual drills as he begins ramping up his activity level. Dallas' placement of Lamb on the exempt list, where he doesn't have to count against the 53-man roster, is simply a way for the team to better navigate Tuesday's cutdown deadline and not any indication that the…read more

Massive extension finally gets done
Lamb (contract dispute) and the Cowboys agreed to terms Monday on a four-year, $136 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Lamb's contract dispute saw him miss the entirety of training camp and the preseason, but the star wide receiver now gets his new deal with roughly two weeks remaining to ramp up for Dallas' matchup against the Browns in Week 1. In addition to a $38 million signing bonus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that Lamb's new contract includes $100 million guaranteed.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Thursday that he doesn't have urgency to get Lamb's contract done, NFL.com's Grant Gordon reports.
Analysis: QB Dak Prescott disagreed, telling reporters afterward, "I got urgency for it to happen." Lamb had an ever shorter response, simply posting 'lol' on his X account. Lamb remains on the reserve/did not report list, holding out for a new contract while scheduled to make $17.99 million in 2024 under the fifth-year option on his rookie deal.

On reserve/did not report list
The Cowboys placed Lamb (holdout) on the reserve/did not report list Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The transaction is merely procedural to open up a spot on the 90-man roster as Lamb continues to hold out of training camp while seeking a contract extension. He's in line to earn $17.99 million in 2024 on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract, but after delivering career bests across the board last season -- a 135-1,749-12 line on 181 targets in 17 regular-season games -- he's looking to strike it big like Justin Jefferson did this offseason.

Expected to hold out
Lamb is not expected to report to training camp Wednesday with his Cowboys teammates, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Lamb and Dallas were unable to reach a contract extension during the offseason. The star pass catcher is entering the last year of a deal scheduled to earn him $17.99 million. This news does not come out of nowhere, as he also did not show up for June minicamp. While he is sidelined, Brandin Cooks will presumably handle No. 1 receiving duties, while Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks and KaVontae Turpin also figure to see more reps to build a rapport with Dak Prescott.

Could hold out from training camp
Lamb isn't likely to report for the start of training camp on July 24 if he doesn't have a new contract by then, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic.
Analysis: Lamb didn't show up for June minicamp, which means he can be fined a little more than $100,000. He's scheduled to make $17.99 million under a fifth-year option in 2024, whereas a long-term contract will cost the Cowboys nearly twice that much per season. It might nonetheless lower Lamb's cap hit for 2024, depending on how the deal is structured, and Machota suggests the most likely outcome is a long-term contract before Dallas players report to camp. If not, Lamb may continue his holdout and…read more

David Helman of FOX Sports reports that the Cowboys can fine Lamb around $100,000 in the likely event he misses all three days of June minicamp, though the wideout presumably won't care much if it helps him secure a new contract.

Lamb may be absent from the start of Cowboys offseason workouts April 15 as he seeks a new contract, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Lamb is currently scheduled to play out the 2024 season on the fifth-year option of his rookie deal, which would carry a $17.99 million salary. Skipping offseason workouts is one of Lamb's only bargaining chips if he seeks a contract extension immediately, other than attempting a more severe holdout.

Leading receiver in wild-card loss
Lamb caught nine of 17 targets for 110 yards in Sunday's 48-32 wild-card loss to the Packers.
Analysis: The NFL's receptions leader in 2023 barely made an impact in the first half as Dak Prescott struggled to move the offense, but Lamb wound up topping the Cowboys in receiving yards with a big, though futile, second half. The fourth-year wideout finished the regular season with a 135-1,749-12 line on 181 targets while adding 113 rushing yards and two more touchdowns on 14 carries, and assuming Prescott returns to Dallas, Lamb figures to come off the board very quickly in 2024 fantasy drafts.

Dazzles again in Week 18
Lamb caught all 13 of his targets for 98 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: With the Cowboys needing a victory to secure an NFC East title and the No. 2 seed in the NFC, Dak Prescott leaned heavily on Lamb once again. The fourth-year wideout put a bow on his incredible campaign with a four-yard TD grab just before halftime and a six-yard score in the third quarter, and Lamb's 135 catches on the season not only set a new franchise record, they made him the first player in Dallas history to lead the NFL in the category.

Lamb recorded 13 catches on 17 targets for 227 yards and one touchdown in Saturday's 20-19 win over the Lions. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: The Lions picked off Lamb's first target, which was a rare disappointing moment throughout his performance on the night. One possession later, he beat the Detroit secondary deep for a 92-yard touchdown on the way to a career-best 227-yard performance. Lamb also chipped in other big plays of 31 and 22 yards, marking the first time he's recorded three receptions of at least 20 yards since Week 10.

Big fantasy game despite loss
Lamb finished with six receptions on 10 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown while adding 14 rushing yards on two attempts in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Lamb did all the heavy lifting for the Cowboys' offense Sunday, finishing as the team's leading receiver in every category while also chipping in 14 rushing yards to help a struggling rushing attack. All of this was not enough to lift Dallas past Miami, who won Sunday's contest on a last-second field goal by Jason Sanders.

Lamb recorded seven receptions on 10 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills. He added one rush for three yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: The Cowboys' offense disappeared for much of the game, so this was a forgettable performance for Lamb. However, he managed to turn in a respectable stat line thanks to a garbage-time drive late in the fourth quarter, during which he recorded three receptions for 15 yards and also tallied his rushing score.

The standout fourth-year pro broke out of what had been a rare two-game funk where he'd produced a modest-by-his-standards 10-91-2 line, posting his fifth 100-yard game in the last seven in the process.

Hauls in TD in Thanksgiving rout
Lamb caught four of nine targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 45-10 win over the Commanders. He added a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The wideout had trouble connecting with Dak Prescott early in the game, and Lamb was overthrown on what could have been a walk-in TD on the Cowboys' first possession. The QB made it up to him in the second half though, and Lamb hauled in a 15-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, plus the subsequent two-point conversions attempt, as Dallas pulled away late.

Lamb caught six of nine targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Lamb's sensational three-week streak of 150-yard games was snapped, but the wideout still compensated with a five-yard touchdown. With Dallas nursing a comfortable lead for the most of Sunday's contest, the team's dependence on Lamb wasn't as significant, resulting in his second-lowest yardage of the campaign. The star wideout will now face a quick turnaround ahead of a Thanksgiving clash against the Commanders in Week 12.

Makes history in Sunday's rout
Lamb caught 11 of 14 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-17 win over the Giants. He also ran in a 14-yard TD on his only carry.
Analysis: The fourth-year wideout didn't even lead the Cowboys in receiving yards on the day -- that honor belonged to Brandin Cooks in a breakout 173-yard performance -- but Lamb's own huge effort put him in the NFL record books, as he became the first player in league history with three straight games of at least 10 catches and 150 yards.

Analysis: While he couldn't get into the end zone, Lamb still had a massive day and set a new career high in yardage for a single game. The fourth-year wideout has topped 100 yards in three straight contests as the Dallas passing game has roared to life, posting a 30-466-2 line on 37 targets over that stretch, but Lamb doesn't figure to be as busy in Week 10 against a Giants team that the Cowboys routed 40-0 in their first meeting this season.

He took advantage by dominating the Rams secondary, finding the end zone from 22 and 10 yards away.

The 24-year-old has contributed 379 yards from scrimmage over the first five games of the season, but his value has been limited by a lack of touchdowns.

Analysis: While the Cowboys had some success on the ground, Lamb and the passing game didn't make much of an impact with Dak Prescott working behind an offensive line missing three starters, including Zack Martin (ankle). Lamb has still topped 50 receiving yards in all three games in 2023, but he faces a tough matchup in Week 4 against a Patriots defense that's been the only one to somewhat contain Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins' passing attack so far this season.

Analysis: Per Mickey Spagnola of the Cowboys' official site, Lamb appeared to be favoring his left leg after landing awkwardly while making a catch during Wednesday's session, but the issue doesn't look like anything serious and shouldn't impact Lamb's status for next month's training camp. This coming season, the 2020 first-rounder is in line to continue to head a Dallas pass-catching corps that bid adieu to TE Dalton Schultz this offseason while adding veteran wideout Brandin Cooks. In 17 games in…read more

Gets fifth-year option
The Cowboys exercised the fifth-year option on Lamb's rookie contract Thursday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Teams have a deadline of May 1 to make such decisions with first-round picks from the 2020 Draft, and the 17th overall selection that year now is locked in with Dallas through the 2024 season. Lamb is coming off a second consecutive 1,000-yard campaign, having put together a 107-1,359-9 line on 156 targets in 17 games last season. He's also been plenty durable during his three-year career, missing just one of a possible 50 regular-season contests to date. After the Cowboys added Brandin Cooks…read more

Leading receiver in losing effort
Lamb corralled 10 of 13 targets for 117 yards and rushed twice for six yards in Sunday's 19-12 divisional-round loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Lamb took advantage of the 49ers' Achilles heel -- its cornerbacks -- and produced the first 100-yard receiving game of his young postseason career. The rest of Dallas' offense sputtered in the loss, bringing the star wideout's 2022 season to a close. Lamb finished with career highs across the board during the regular season, finishing with 107 receptions for 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns across 17 games. The 23-year-old will enter the fourth year of his rookie contract in 2023, and he will…read more

Finds end zone in wild-card win
Lamb brought in four of six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 31-14 wild-card win over the Buccaneers on Monday night.
Analysis: Lamb was having a fairly underwhelming night until he rounded it out nicely with an 18-yard scoring grab early in the fourth quarter. The third-year wideout ultimately finished second on Dallas in receiving yards and tied for second in targets on a night in which Dak Prescott shined with a 300-yard, four-touchdown performance. Lamb figures to play an integral role once again in Sunday's divisional-round road clash against a talented but occasionally vulnerable 49ers secondary.

Salvages day with TD
Lamb caught five of seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-6 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: The third-year wideout was the lone bright spot for the Dallas offense as it put together maybe its worst performance of the year. Lamb wraps up the regular season with career highs in catches (107), targets (156), receiving yards (1,359) and TDs (nine), and he'll likely need to come up big on the road in the wild-card round if the Cowboys are going to advance past the Buccaneers.

Another busy night Thursday
Lamb secured 11 of 14 targets for 100 yards in the Cowboys' 27-13 win over the Titans on Thursday night.
Analysis: Lamb comfortably led the Cowboys in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, repeatedly capitalizing on a very short-handed Titans defense. The third-year wideout's performance included his fifth 100-yard tally of 2022 and tied his season high in receptions, and it also put him over the 100-catch mark for the campaign. Lamb's final opportunity to tune up for the postseason comes in a Week 18 road matchup versus the Commanders a week from Sunday.

Double-digit catches Saturday
Lamb secured 10 of 11 targets for 120 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 40-34 win over the Eagles on Saturday.
Analysis: Lamb paced the Cowboys' pass-catching corps across the board in what was a spectacular performance. The star wideout recorded 36- and seven-yard touchdown grabs in the second and fourth quarters, the second capping off an eight-play, 75-yard drive and erasing a 34-27 deficit. Lamb's pair of touchdowns gave him a new career high of eight for the campaign and locked in his second multi-score tally of the season.

Perfect against Jags
Lamb recorded a reception on all seven of his targets for 126 yards in Sunday's 40-34 loss to Jacksonville.
Analysis: Lamb was surprisingly out-targeted by Noah Brown in Sunday's loss, though he put together a far more efficient performance. Lamb ripped through the Jaguars' secondary for long gains on 39, 25, and 22 yards on his way to his third 100-yard performance of the season, all which have come in the last six games. The only thing missing from his effort was a trip to the end zone, though Lamb still needs just one more touchdown to reach a career high.

Disappears against Texans
Lamb recorded five receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Texans.
Analysis: The Cowboys came into the game as heavy favorites and operated as such, focusing on establishing the rushing attack. However, the Texans hung around and held a small lead for the majority of the game, which forced Dallas to open up its offense. Even so, Lamb couldn't get going and had to settle for a 13-yard reception as his longest gain of the game. Lamb's yardage total was his second lowest of the season and worst output since Week 1.

Shines on SNF
Lamb corralled five of seven targets for 71 yards and a touchdown while adding 23 rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 54-19 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Lamb led the Cowboys in receiving and had his way with the Colts' banged up secondary. Dallas' star wideout could have had an even bigger game had Indianapolis kept the score closer in the second half of this lopsided affair. Lamb is closing in on his second consecutive 1,000-yard season with a 69-938-6 receiving line through 12 games. The Cowboys will take on the 1-10-1 Texans on Sunday, giving Lamb another prime opportunity to take advantage of a weak opponent in Week 14.

Tops century mark against Giants
Lamb caught six of 11 targets for 106 yards in Thursday's 28-20 win over the Giants.
Analysis: He added 11 rushing yards on two carries. Lamb, and the entire Dallas offense, had a sluggish first half, heading into the locker room down 13-7. The receiver got going after intermission though and nearly hauled in a two-yard TD midway through the fourth quarter, but he couldn't quite get both feet in bounds at the back of the end zone. It was Lamb's second 100-yard game of the season, both of which have come in the last three weeks, and he'll take plenty of momentum into a Week 13 matchup…read more

Low usage in blowout win
Lamb caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 40-3 blowout victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: Lamb was able to haul in 100 percent of the passes thrown his way for the first time this season, but the five targets also marked a season low. The 23-year-old was used sparingly due to a crooked score and a combined four touchdowns from Dallas' running backs.

Dallas' star wideout also tallied his first double-digit reception and multi-score game in this monster fantasy performance.

Scores, records 77 yards
Lamb recorded five receptions on seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 49-29 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Lamb narrowly beat out Dalton Schultz to lead Dallas in receiving yards, and he now has 13 targets combined in the two games since Dak Prescott has returned. Lamb's performance was highlighted by receptions of 22 and 21 yards -- the latter of which went for his third touchdown of the season. He has still yet to surpass the century mark in a game this season, but Lamb has at least 70 yards in five of eight contests.

Team-high receiving yardage Sunday
Lamb brought in four of six targets for 70 yards and netted minus-4 yards on one carry in the Cowboys' 24-6 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Lamb's receiving yardage total was a team high, while his reception tally was second behind only the team-high five catches secured by Noah Brown and Dalton Schultz. Lamb's first game back with Dak Prescott didn't result in better numbers than he compiled in a couple of his games with Cooper Rush under center, but the third-year receiver naturally should have a chance to reignite his chemistry with the talented quarterback the more they play together moving forward.

While he opened Week 7 prep with a limited session, he told Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News after Thursday's practice that he was a "full go," which was confirmed on the team's ensuing injury report.

It didn't stop him from playing this past Sunday at Philadelphia and turning 10 targets into five catches for 68 yards and two carries into nine yards.

Gains 77 yards on seven touches
Lamb (hip) had five receptions on 10 targets for 68 yards while adding nine yards on two rush attempts in Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Lamb's fantasy managers suffered a late-week scare when the star wideout was added to the injury report due to his hip at Friday's practice. The 23-year-old was expected to play based on early reports Sunday, and he followed through and provided solid fantasy production.

Five grabs against Rams
Lamb caught five of eight targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Rams.
Analysis: The Dallas passing game never really needed to get going in this one, but Lamb was on the other end of exactly half of Cooper Rush's attempts and completions. It was still Lamb's weakest production in any of Rush's four starts, and the third-year wideout will likely need to be a lot more productive in what has shaped up to be a huge Week 6 matchup against the Eagles.

Lamb caught six passes for 97 yards and one touchdown on eight targets in a loss to Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: Lamb has seemed locked in since his brutal dropped pass in Week 3, both in that game and in this strong Week 4 showing. Although Washington's pass defense is among the league's weakest, it's still reassuring to see Lamb post this clean box score with his backup quarterback, especially after a slow start to the season. Lamb will need to keep playing well to maintain his momentum against the Rams in Week 5 -- a matchup where hopefully he can avoid the coverage of Jalen Ramsey as much as possible.

Analysis: Lamb dropped a deep pass that would have gone for at least a 40-yard gain and potentially a touchdown late in the second quarter. However, he redeemed himself by recording six receptions for 67 yards across the final two quarters, including a one-yard touchdown reception that put the Cowboys ahead for good.

Lamb caught seven of 11 targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: For the second straight game, Lamb led the Cowboys in targets with 11, but the third-year wideout was a lot more productive with that volume this time around. He also posted a 6-112-0 line in Week 8 last season with Cooper Rush under center, and losing Dak Prescott (thumb) for a few weeks may not result in a big hit to Lamb's fantasy value heading into a Week 3 clash with a Giants secondary that has yet to allow more than 66 receiving yards to a WR.

Analysis: Lamb was an observer at Wednesday's practice and is expected to sit out Thursday's session, too, meaning that he's unlikely to suit up in Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers.

Held out with minor hammy injury
Lamb was held out of June minicamp with a hamstring injury but isn't worried about his availability for training camp, Mickey Spagnola of DallasCowboys.com reports.
Analysis: Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News believes Lamb would've been able to practice if it had been the regular season. The 23-year-old wideout has missed one game through two years in the NFL, and he doesn't have a noteworthy history of soft-tissue injuries, hamstring or otherwise.

Only one catch in loss
Lamb caught one of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the 49ers in the wild-card round. He also gained five yards on his only carry.
Analysis: It was a disappointing ending to the season for Lamb and for the Cowboys, and the second-year wideout failed to find the end zone or reach 90 receiving yards in his final eight games between the regular season and the playoffs. Lamb's overall numbers still took a step forward, as he set career highs across the board with 79 catches for 1,102 yards and six TDs on 120 targets over 16 games, and he should head into 2022 as a key part of a potent passing game alongside Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper.

Although Lamb hasn't topped 70 yards over his last five contests and hasn't scored since Week 10, he still improved his rookie production across the board this season.

Lamb caught three of four targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Cardinals.

Lamb has still topped his rookie-year production with 77 catches for 1,057 yards this season, and he'll get one more chance to pad those numbers in Week 18 against the Eagles.

Analysis: Amari Cooper (7-85-1) and Dalton Schultz (8-82-1) saw the bulk of the receiving action while the starters were still in the game, but Lamb still had a decent showing when factoring in that most of Dallas' offensive production came in the first half. There was plenty of garbage time in this one, so the Cowboys rested their starters for most of the second half, which could have resulted in a bigger game for the entire unit had this contest been more competitive. Lamb has continued his solid 2021…read more

Modest yardage on six grabs
Lamb brought in six of nine targets for 50 yards in the Cowboys' 21-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Lamb paced the Cowboys in targets and checked in second in both receptions and receiving yards to Dalton Schultz, but a lack of trips to the end zone and just an 8.3 YPC made for a relatively modest fantasy performance overall. Lamb's numbers naturally played much better in PPR formats, and he's now posted at least six receptions in three straight games. The second-year standout does have a four-game touchdown drought, however, a matter he'll next get a chance to rectify in a Week 16 battle…read more

Leads struggling passing game
Lamb caught seven passes for 61 yards on 10 targets against Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: Lamb's box score is inefficient at a glance (70 percent catch rate, 6.1 yards per target), but he was Dallas' highest-volume pass catcher Sunday and his struggles were arguably more attributable to the play of Dak Prescott, who completed only 56.5 percent of his passes at 5.4 yards per attempt. Lamb's usage is reliably very high from week to week, and his numbers are almost certain to improve if Prescott turns in a better performance in Week 15 against the Giants.

Busy night in return
Lamb brought in seven of 13 targets for 89 yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 win over the Saints on Thursday night. He also rushed once for 33 yards and returned three punts for 35 yards.
Analysis: Making his return after a one-game absence while in concussion protocol, Lamb turned in an excellent all-purpose effort, one that saw him pace the Cowboys in receptions and receiving yards. The second-year wideout's target tally was also a team-high figure and his second highest of the season, and his rush attempt yielded a career-long run. Lamb's first opportunity to build on what was his most well-balanced performance of the season comes a week from Sunday in a Week 14 road contest versus…read more

Practices fully, clears protocol
Lamb was a full participant in Monday's practice and is in line to play Thursday against the Saints after clearing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. "Going through the protocol, it was tough," Lamb said. "I feel a lot better."
Analysis: After he was diagnosed with the concussion following his early exit from the Cowboys' Week 11 loss to the Chiefs, Lamb made a strong push to clear the five-step protocol for head injuries ahead of the team's Thanksgiving Day game four days later, but he ultimately didn't receive the green light from an independent neurologist ahead of Dallas' 36-33 overtime loss to the Raiders.

Lamb (concussion) was deemed a full participant Sunday in the Cowboys' unofficial practice session, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

The Cowboys will have another quick turnaround for Week 13 with a Thursday night matchup against the Saints, but Lamb's ability to increase his practice activity a few days later bodes well for his chances of being able to play in New Orleans.

Should play Week 13
Lamb (concussion) will practice Sunday, with the Cowboys expecting him to return for Thursday's game at New Orleans in Week 13, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb seems to have come close to clearing concussion protocol in time for Thursday's overtime loss to the Raiders, but he ultimately wasn't able to play four days after suffering the injury. While he's expected to avoid another absence, the situation still needs to be monitored given that recovery from concussions isn't always linear. It does, however, seem likely that both Lamb and Amari Cooper (reserve/COVID-19) will be back in the lineup Week 13.

Analysis: With both Lamb and Amari Cooper (reserve/COVID-19 list) unavailable for the contest, the Cowboys' Week 12 wideout corps will be led by Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson, with Noah Brown, Malik Turner and Simi Fehoko also in the mix.

Lamb, who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raiders, won't clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol ahead of the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff and is set to be inactive for the contest, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Though team executives as well as head coach Mike McCarthy expressed confidence that Lamb would be ready to go for Thanksgiving Day after he returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, the second-year receiver likely wasn't able to gain medical clearance from either team doctors or an independent neurologist (or both).

Officially questionable for Week 12
Lamb (concussion) officially is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Raiders, though the Cowboys appear optimistic he'll be ready to play. "He hasn't missed a step on a short week," coach Mike McCarthy told Todd Archer of ESPN.com after Wednesday's practice. "Just as we discussed on Monday, if he's able to keep progressing through, we see him as available for the game."
Analysis: After being estimated as a non-participant on Monday's and Tuesday's practice reports, Lamb bumped up to limited activity Wednesday, the first tangible sign of progress as he recovers from a concussion sustained this past Sunday at Kansas City. Despite such a tight window for Lamb to clear all five phases of the NFL's protocol for head injuries, the Cowboys have exuded confidence in the second-year wideout being ready to go ahead of the Thanksgiving Day showdown with the Raiders.

Needs clearance after full practice
Lamb (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's non-padded practice and now needs joint clearance from a club physician and an independent neurologist to play in Thursday's game against the Raiders, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Pending the results of his upcoming examinations, Lamb appears to be trending toward playing Thanksgiving Day, just four days after being diagnosed with a concussion. The Cowboys presumably will list him as questionable on their final weekly injury report, but Lamb's status may ultimately be known well before the team's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff Thursday.

Lamb (concussion) will return to practice Wednesday, giving him a shot to play in Thursday's game against the Raiders, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The star wideout seems to be making quick progress through the five-step concussion protocol and likely would be on track to suit up if the Cowboys played Sunday rather than Thursday. As it is, Lamb remains uncertain to play Thanksgiving Day, though his return to practice reportedly has the Cowboys feeling optimistic that he'll clear protocol ahead of the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Lamb (concussion) is "doing really well" and will have a chance to play Thursday against the Raiders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Lamb sustained a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, and while he apparently improved overnight, the receiver will have several steps to clear under the league's protocol for head injuries to be able to play. Because Amari Cooper (illness) will be unavailable Thursday, Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson would take on leading roles if Lamb doesn't gain clearance in time.

Suffers concussion Sunday
Lamb won't return to Sunday's game at Kansas City due to a concussion, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Lamb may have been injured when he attempted to break up a Dak Prescott interception at the end of the first half, when his helmet hit the turf as he landed. The second-year wide receiver stayed down for a few seconds and then didn't emerge from the locker room after halftime with his teammates. With a concussion confirmed, Lamb is in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Raiders, as is Amari Cooper, who won't suit up next week after testing positive for COVID-19 on Friday.

Only 23 yards
Lamb recorded two receptions on nine targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Lamb led the team with nine targets, but his line was representative of the Cowboys offensive dysfunction. His longest reception of the day went for 18 yards and served as his primary production for the entire game. While it was a disappointing performance, Lamb should be in for a bounce-back effort in Week 10 against Atlanta, as he entered the contest having posted consecutive 100-yard performances.

Fellow wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) also had practice limitations this week but will be available to Dak Prescott (calf) as the quarterback makes his return after missing one game.

Overtime hero in two-TD game
Lamb caught nine of 11 targets for 149 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-29 overtime win over the Patriots.
Analysis: After a quiet first half, Lamb shredded the New England secondary after the break, grabbing a one-yard TD strike late in the third quarter and then settling under a 35-yard pass from Dak Prescott for the game-winning score in OT while making a number of crucial catches in between. The second-year receiver heads into Dallas' Week 7 bye with 33 receptions on 49 targets for 497 yards and four TDs.

The second-year wideout's overall production was a welcome contrast to Lamb's season-worst 2-13 line in Week 5 against the Panthers, and he'll look to keep the momentum in a Week 6 road showdown with the tough Patriots secondary.

Lamb recorded two receptions on five targets for 13 yards in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Despite the down performance, Lamb managed to finish second on the team with five targets. However, Dak Prescott attempted only 22 passes, which limited the volume for all Dallas receivers. Even taking that into account, Lamb's production across the last two weeks has become concerning, as he's commanded only eight targets for five receptions and 79 yards combined.

Analysis: The second-year receiver was the only Cowboy to see more than five targets or catch more than three passes on the afternoon, and he hauled in more than double the yardage of any of his teammates.

Analysis: If not for the otherworldly exploits of teammate Amari Cooper (13-139-2), Lamb's play would have been the talk of the Cowboys' pass-catching corps. The second-year pro was an effective complementary source of production throughout the night alongside Cooper and helped answer an early Buccaneers touchdown with a 22-yard scoring grab late in the first quarter.

Rejoins teammates
Lamb was activated from the reserve/COVID list Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The second-year pro missed a little more than a week of practice and finished the preseason with just one catch for 13 yards. The Cowboys start their campaign on the road against the Super Bowl champion Buccaneers, but with Dak Prescott (shoulder) seemingly healthy, Dallas should at least be able to move the ball Thursday night.

Little work in Saturday's loss
Lamb caught one of two targets for 13 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The Cowboys only had their offensive starters on the field for the first quarter, but as the group included Garrett Gilbert under center and not Dak Prescott (shoulder), there wasn't much production to go around. Lamb is locked into a significant role in the passing game when the regular season begins, but the second-year wideout's chances of putting together an explosive campaign will be tied to Prescott's health.

Getting more perimeter work
Lamb has been working at four different receiver spots this offseason, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Most NFL offenses have an X receiver, a Z and a slot, but the Cowboys apparently have a fourth designation as well. The larger point is that Lamb has become more comfortable in Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore's scheme, so the young wideout may now see more work on the perimeter, after largely playing the slot as a rookie. He'll still see plenty of inside work in three-wide formations, perhaps moving outside to replace Michael Gallup in two-wide sets. That could in turn allow Lamb to run a few…read more

Five grabs in Sunday's finale
Lamb caught five of seven targets for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants, adding three rushing yards on his only carry.
Analysis: The 17th overall pick in the 2020 draft more than lived up to his prospect hype with a strong rookie season, as Lamb posted a 74-935-5 line on 111 targets despite losing his starting quarterback, Dak Prescott (ankle), in Week 5. Had Prescott stayed under center, Lamb might have been neck and neck with Minnesota's Justin Jefferson in a race to re-write the rookie WR record book -- he was on pace for 93 catches and 1,385 yards through his first five games.

Lamb caught three of five targets for 65 yards and a touchdown and added a second TD on a 19-yard carry in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Eagles.

The rookie has now scored seven TDs on the season -- five receiving, one rushing and one on last week's return of an onside kick -- and he needs 108 more receiving yards for 1,000 on the year.

Lamb caught five of seven targets for 85 yards and scored a touchdown on an onside kick return during Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Lamb averaged an impressive 17.0 yards per catch thanks in large part to a career-long 45-yard reception. He finished with his third-best receiving output of the season and topped off his day with a touchdown on an onside kick return in the final moments. This strong showing represented Lamb's third-best receiving output of the season and his best since Week 5. He'll look to add to his impressive rookie numbers next Sunday against the Eagles.

Just two catches in win
Lamb caught both his targets for 46 yards and gained 15 rushing yards on one carry in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: The Cowboys' passing game didn't need to do much after three early Cincinnati fumbles led to 17 first-half points for Dallas, but Lamb made the most of his limited opportunities. The two targets were a season low for the rookie, and he hasn't reached 50 receiving yards in four straight games heading into Week 15's clash with the 49ers.

Tallies six grabs in loss
Lamb secured six of nine targets for 46 yards in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night.
Analysis: The rookie was particularly involved in the first half, and even though his involvement waned in the latter portions of the contest, he still finished second to Michael Gallup in targets, receptions and receiving yards. Lamb's now gone without a touchdown in two straight contests following back-to-back games with a score, so he'll look to start a new streak at the expense of the Bengals in Week 14.

Five catches against Washington
Lamb caught five of seven targets for 21 yards in Thursday's loss to Washington.
Analysis: He saw only one less catch and one less target than Amari Cooper or Michael Gallup, but the rookie receiver did very little with his opportunities and dropped what should have been a 10-yard touchdown late in the third quarter when the game's outcome was still in doubt. Lamb has now failed to top 40 yards in four of the last five games, posting a 17-153-2 line on 30 targets over that stretch, but his steady target volume should keep him on the fantasy radar even if he's little more than a…read more

TD grab in win over Vikings
Lamb caught four of six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Vikings. He also gained 12 rushing yards on two carries and ran in a two-point conversion.
Analysis: While the rookie didn't gain much real estate, Lamb grabbed his fourth TD of the season in the second quarter on a four-yard toss from Andy Dalton. The entire Cowboys offense looked much improved after the team's bye with Dalton back under center, and as a result Lamb's fantasy fortunes are on the upswing again heading into a Thanksgiving clash with Washington.

Hauls in third TD in loss
Lamb caught four of seven targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: The switch to Garrett Gilbert at quarterback restored a bit of a spark to the Cowboys' passing game, and Lamb put together his best performance since Dak Prescott (ankle) was injured, with his second-quarter TD giving the Cowboys a surprising 10-0 lead that eventually evaporated. Despite the turmoil around him, the rookie wideout continues to impress, but whether Gilbert or Andy Dalton (concussion/illness) will be throwing him passes coming out of the team's Week 10 bye remains to be seen.

Five touches in SNF loss
Lamb caught four of five targets for 27 yards while adding 19 yards on his lone carry in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Lamb was held without a catch last week, so while his production was modest at best, it was actually a step in the right direction during the Ben Dinucci Era. The talented rookie is unlikely to put up those triple-digit receiving games we saw earlier this year until Dak Prescott (leg) returns next season, and it looks like he may not be posting any useful fantasy lines so long as the team is deploying its third-string quarterback. Andy Dalton (concussion) could return this week, but the…read more

Held without a catch
Lamb failed to catch any of his five targets and gained one yard on his lone rushing attempt during Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Football Team.
Analysis: Lamb couldn't bring in any passes from Andy Dalton (concussion) and hardly stood a chance on any of the looks rookie third-string quarterback Ben DiNucci sent his way after entering the game. He had at least five receptions and seven targets in every game entering this contest, so the goose egg was a large departure from what fantasy managers had come to expect. Lamb's struggles could continue in next Sunday night's game against the Eagles if the team can't field a competent starter at…read more

Team-high reception tally Monday
Lamb hauled in seven of 10 targets for 64 yards in the Cowboys' 38-10 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night. He also netted one yard on two punt returns and fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Lamb tied Amari Cooper for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to him in receiving yardage. New starter Andy Dalton locked in on Lamb frequently during the second half, although as the rookie receiver's final line demonstrates, almost all of the throws were very close to the line of scrimmage. The fact that Lamb logged a double-digit target total in his first game with Dalton under center gives fantasy managers reason for optimism, and he'll look to put together another…read more

Career-high yardage in win
Lamb caught eight of 11 targets for a career-high 124 yards in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Giants.
Analysis: The rookie was Dak Prescott's favorite target through the early part of the game, and no other Cowboys receiver ended the afternoon with more than four targets. However, after Prescott left in the third quarter with a likely season-ending ankle injury and Andy Dalton took over under center, it was Michael Gallup who was on the end of two huge completions to set up the game-winning field goal. It remains to be seen what the Dallas passing game will look like with Dalton taking the reins, but…read more

Scores first two TDs
Lamb caught five of seven targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns while adding one three-yard carry during Sunday's 49-38 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Lamb was wide open for a 43-yard touchdown in the first quarter and capped off his team's scoring for the day with a five-yard strike in the fourth. He had yet to reach the end zone through his first three NFL games, so his ability to get behind the defense and his usage in the red zone Sunday were positive developments for his future fantasy value. Moreover, Lamb finished second on the team in receiving yards and is now on pace for over 1,200 yards in his rookie year, making him a viable…read more

Solid numbers in loss
Lamb caught five of six targets for 65 yards and gained one rushing yard on one carry in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: In a vacuum it looks like a solid performance, but Lamb actually finished fourth on the Cowboys in receiving yards on a day when Dak Prescott aired it out 57 times. The rookie wideout has looked good to begin his career, catching 16 of 21 targets for 230 yards and a TD through three games, and he'll try to add to those numbers Week 4 against a Browns defense that's already given up five touchdowns to opposing WRs.

Team's top receiver against Atlanta
Lamb hauled in six of nine targets for 106 receiving yards during Sunday's 40-39 win against the Falcons.
Analysis: The first-round rookie wideout had an encouraging yet modest NFL debut last week, registering 59 receiving yards on five catches. However, Week 2 marked his breakout. Lamb and Amari Cooper torched the depleted Falcons secondary, combining for a dozen catches and more than 200 yards on the afternoon. Lamb contributed an enormous play in the waning stages of Sunday's contest, tearing off a 24-yard gain on Dallas' final drive to set up Greg Zuerlein with a 46-yard field goal for the walkoff win.…read more

Posts 59 yards in NFL debut
Lamb had five catches (six targets) for 59 yards in a 20-17 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Lamb made a big splash with a 33-yard reception on a deep crossing pattern, but it was otherwise a quiet night for the 17th overall pick in his NFL debut. Even without a preseason, the rookie didn't look overmatched in his first taste of action against an NFL defense (and a good one at that). Amari Cooper led all Cowboy wideouts by a wide margin in terms of receptions (10) and targets (14), so it appears Lamb and fellow starter Michael Gallup (three receptions for 50 yards) will share No. 2…read more

Continues to impress in camp
Lamb has lined up both outside and in the slot during camp and has looked comfortable in all formations, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore seems intent on finding ways to get the ball into the rookie's hands, as Lamb has been used on jet sweeps and reverses as well. It remains to be seen how big a workload Lamb can carve out working behind established options Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup this season, but he has the talent to make an impact on a per-touch basis even if he doesn't get a lot of volume.

Wows with one-handed grab
Lamb made a big impression during individual drills Friday by making a spectacular one-handed grab, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: While the catch itself was noteworthy enough, Lamb also got a chance to showcase his elite body control as he adjusted to a throw that was high and behind him. The rookie also took reps as a punt returner, but it's his ability as a receiver in a potentially high-volume Dallas passing game that gives Lamb such intrigue as a fantasy asset, even with Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup ahead of him on the depth chart.

Could make impact as returner
Lamb could be used as the Cowboys' primary punt returner in addition to his duties on offense, Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com reports.
Analysis: Dallas hasn't had a player return a punt for a touchdown since 2017 and didn't have a single punt return over 15 yards last season, so the door is wide open for Lamb to seize the job. The rookie receiver had three returns of 40-plus yards during his college career and an 8.8 yard average on punt returns, and his elusiveness in the open field could make him a weapon on new coach John Fassel's special teams unit.
