  • Third straight 100-yard showing

    Lamb recorded six catches on 10 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' pass catchers almost universally disappointed in Sunday night's loss, with Lamb being the only exception. He paced the team in every statistical category while commanding double-digit targets for the sixth time in 11 games this season. Lamb was efficient with the opportunity primarily due to a pair of 30-yard receptions, and he topped 100 receiving yards for the third straight game.

  • 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.

    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.

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.

  • 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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    Analysis: Lamb looks set to mix into drills for the first time since he sustained a left high-ankle sprain Week 3 in Dallas' loss to the Bears and tentatively return to action after having missed three consecutive games.

    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.

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.

    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.

  • Not in line to play Saturday

  • Looks locked in during camp

    Lamb already appears ready for Week 1 as one of the standout performers for the Cowboys to begin training camp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It shouldn't be a surprise that the Cowboys' top wideout has looked good, as Lamb has made four straight Pro Bowls while topping 1,100 receiving yards in each of those seasons. The 26-year-old still finds ways to try and improve, however. "I had one drop a couple days ago," Lamb said Wednesday about his sole drop so far in practice. "It sucked. I hate it. It made me start all the way over." He saw his production decline last year along with the rest of the Cowboys' passing game, in part due to…read more

  • 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

    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.

    Analysis: Lamb continues to operate with a cap on his practice reps, as he's done most weeks since initially suffering an AC joint injury in his shoulder back in Week 9. In six games in the meantime, he's produced a 41-429-2 line on 60 targets. Lamb will have two more opportunities this week to practice fully or otherwise risk taking a designation into Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.

  • 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: Since sustaining an AC joint issue in his shoulder Week 9, Lamb has had his practice reps impacted on occasion, including back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 15 prep. He's still suited up for each of the Cowboys' ensuing five games, reeling in 32 of 47 passes from QB Cooper Rush for 313 yards and one touchdown while adding four carries for 18 yards. Friday's injury report will clarify whether or not Lamb enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game in Carolina.

    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 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.

He had first injured the shoulder in a Nov. 3 loss to the Falcons, but the apparent aggravation isn't quite as severe, as Lamb said Thursday that he has full range of motion in the shoulder and has regained strength over the past week.

The coach didn't suggest that Lamb's status for Monday's game was in any danger, but the Cowboys will take it easy on the star wideout to begin Week 14 prep by managing his reps.

    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.

The Cowboys listed him on their Week 13 injury report with back and foot injuries, neither of which was serious enough to warrant a game designation.

    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.

    Analysis: This is a significant development given Lamb did not appear on the injury report at any point throughout the week. We'll have to await more information before the 8:15 p.m. ET primetime kickoff Monday.

    Analysis: Lamb fell victim to the Cowboys' poor quarterback situation Sunday, netting just 24 yards off of seven touches in a one-sided loss. Dak Prescott (hamstring) is expected to miss a significant amount of time, which hurts every skill position player on Dallas' roster significantly.

    Analysis: Lamb is believed to be dealing with an AC joint injury in his shoulder, which he suffered in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He was able to return to the game after briefly exiting, so perhaps he can continue to play through the issue if it's more of a pain tolerance thing. If he's able to suit up against Philadelphia, Lamb is expected to be catching passes from a different quarterback, with Dak Prescott (hamstring) likely out several weeks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL…read more

  • MRI scheduled on shoulder

    Lamb is dealing with an AC joint injury in his right shoulder following Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Falcons, and he's scheduled to get an MRI on the injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed optimism that Lamb will be able to play through the injury, as Lamb returned against Atlanta after initially hurting his shoulder. Lamb finished the game with eight catches for 47 yards on 12 targets while adding two rushing attempts for 15 yards and catching a two-point conversion. The results of Lamb's MRI will determine whether he's in danger of sitting out against the Eagles in Week 10. Dallas' quarterback situation is also uncertain, as Dak Prescott…read more

  • Returns to Sunday's game

    Lamb (shoulder) returned to Sunday's 27-21 loss in Atlanta.

    Analysis: Lamb seemed to be playing through the pain in the second half before making a brief exit in the fourth quarter due to a shoulder injury. Having said that, he tallied a two-point conversion on a connection with QB Dak Prescott on the Cowboys' last score and finished Week 9 with eight catches (on 12 targets) for 47 yards and two carries for 15 yards.

    Analysis: Prior to that, Lamb had caught eight of his 12 targets for 47 yards and carried twice for 15 yards. In his absence, QB Cooper Rush -- who is in for Dak Prescott (hamstring) - has WRs Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Brooks, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy to throw to.

  • Two TDs in stellar fourth quarter

    Lamb caught 13 of 17 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Lamb scored a seven-yard touchdown to cut the deficit to 30-17 in the fourth quarter, then produced catches of 21, 29 and 20 yards on three consecutive plays, the last of which was a touchdown to make it a one-score game before Dallas' comeback bid fizzled out. Prior to the late surge, Lamb was busy on short and intermediate routes, catching seven of eight targets for 48 yards before halftime. Lamb's up to four touchdowns heading into a Week 9 trip to Atlanta, and he finally has his first…read more

  • Limited production on 14 targets

    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.

  • Modest numbers on six touches

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    Analysis: Lamb led the way in receiving yards for the Cowboys on the night while notching a 100 percent catch rate. Both the reception and yardage totals were Lamb's second highest of the season, and the standout performance snapped a three-game downturn that had seen Lamb record 53 receiving yards or less in each contest. Lamb and the Cowboys next face the Rams at home on Sunday, Oct. 29 following a Week 7 bye.

  • Leads team with 49 yards

    Lamb finished with four receptions on five targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Lamb finished as Dallas' leading receiver Sunday, but it didn't result in a big game with the offense mustering just 161 passing yards against the 49ers. 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. Lamb has made just one trip to the end zone after scoring nine TDs over 17 games in 2022. He will look to correct that against the Chargers' league-worst pass defense on Monday Night Football…read more

  • Finds end zone in quiet performance

    Lamb recorded four receptions on six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Lamb was overshadowed by Jake Ferguson and Michael Gallup in the offense. While that may have been the byproduct of Dallas having a significant advantage on the scoreboard, Lamb has now seen seven or fewer targets in three of four games on the season. Despite the limited volume, he still managed to salvage his fantasy performance with a 20-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter -- his first trip to the end zone this season. He'll turn his attention to another tough defensive matchup in…read more

  • Held in check in Sunday's loss

    Lamb caught four of seven targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 28-16 loss to the Cardinals.

    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.

  • Ties career high in receptions

    Lamb caught 11 of 13 targets for 143 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Despite being matched up frequently against Sauce Gardner, Lamb put together a huge performance as he tied his career high in catches while accounting for over 56 percent of Dak Prescott's passing yards. In fact, no other Cowboy came within 100 yards of Lamb's output -- Tony Pollard finished second on the team with 37 receiving yards. The No. 1 wideout could be busy again in Week 3 against a Cardinals defense that just gave up 321 passing yards to Daniel Jones, most of which came in an epic…read more

  • Gains 77 yards in blowout win

    Lamb caught all four of his targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 40-0 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Lamb finished as the Cowboys' leading receiver in a comfortable win. The star wideout was well on his way to a monster performance had the Giants put up a fight, but there was little need for Dallas to pass after starting the second half up by 26 points. Lamb and the rest of the starters should be fresh for the Cowboys' home opener against the Jets on Sunday.

  • Unlikely to play Saturday

    Lamb isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars, The Athletic's Jon Machota reports.

    Analysis: This comes as no surprise. Lamb is expected to be joined on the sidelines by fellow veterans Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, and Brandin Cooks. Lamb has unsurprisingly been a standout at Cowboys camp this summer and should be teed up as a surefire fantasy WR1 this season.

    Lamb (leg) took part in practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Lamb's participation at the beginning of training camp confirms he's moved past the minor leg injury that caused him to miss a practice or two in June. The fourth-year wideout is locked in as Dak Prescott's favorite target, albeit with a bit more competition for the quarterback's attention after the Cowboys traded for Brandin Cooks and have a healthier version of Michael Gallup. Of course, Dallas also lost tight end Dalton Schultz this offseason, and there's room for the 24-year-old Lamb to…read more

    Lamb, who appeared to be favoring his left leg after making a catch in Wednesday's minicamp practice, isn't in line to participate in Thursday's session, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While the Cowboys plan to err on the side of caution with Lamb in the team's last practice prior to training camp, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News relays that coach Mike McCarthy noted Thursday that he had "no concern" about Lamb's health. Once the 2020 first-rounder resumes practicing next month, he'll be in line to reprise his role as the top option in a Dallas wideout corps that also includes fellow returnee Michael Gallup as well as newcomer Brandin Cooks.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

The 23-year-old was used sparingly due to a crooked score and a combined four touchdowns from Dallas' running backs.

Lamb's performance was highlighted by receptions of 22 and 21 yards -- the latter of which went for his third touchdown of the season.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    Lamb (foot) is among the Cowboys' starters not in line to play in Friday's preseason finale against Seattle, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Lamb, who is bouncing back from a foot laceration, has resumed practicing, which puts him on track to be available for Week 1 action versus the Buccaneers. Once the season starts, the 2020 first-rounder is slated to to serve at QB Dak Prescott's No. 1 wideout target.

  • Logs individual drills

    Lamb (foot) returned to the practice field as a participant in individual drills Tuesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Lamb has been sidelined for the past week after sustaining a foot laceration. The injury was never considered serious, and his return to the practice field indicates he is trending in the right direction. It remains likely that he will sit out the team's final preseason game Saturday versus the Seahawks, as there is no reason for the Cowboys to risk his health. Barring any setbacks, he is presumably on track to suit up Week 1 as the team's No. 1 pass catcher.

  • Misses another practice

    Lamb (foot) won't practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Lamb, who is dealing with what Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News describes as a cut toe, also missed Wednesday's session, but coach Mike McCarthy anticipates that the wideout will be able to return to practice next week. With that in mind, it appears as though Lamb will sit out Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers.

  • Battling minor foot issue

    Lamb sat out Wednesday's practice with a foot laceration that isn't considered serious, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    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. The foot issue isn't anything that should keep him off the field for long, and he'll enter Week 1 as Dallas' unquestioned No. 1 receiver with Amari Cooper now in Cleveland and with Michael Gallup (knee) working his way back from an ACL tear.

  • Dealing with minor injury

    Lamb will miss Wednesday's practice due to a minor injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gehlken reports that Lamb isn't dealing with any structural damage, adding that the term "injury" might even be too strong of a descriptor. Lamb should thus be back on the field before long, though perhaps not in time for Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers. Either way, he's locked in as Dak Prescott's go-to receiver this season.

  • Not likely to play Saturday

    Lamb isn't slated to suit up for Saturday's preseason game in Denver, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: All of Lamb, quarterback Dak Prescott and running backs Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard are in store for no action in the Cowboys' exhibition opener. With Michael Gallup (knee) still on the PUP list and James Washington out until late September due to a broken foot, rookie third-rounder Jalen Tolbert, Noah Brown and Dennis Houston, among others, are the team's available wide receivers Saturday.

  • Headed for increased volume

    Lamb is the clear top option at wide receiver for the Cowboys this season, and quarterback Dak Prescott indicated Thursday he intends to look for the third-year player every chance he gets, Nick Eatman of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: "CeeDee is a guy that wants the ball, expects the ball," Prescott said. "When one guy is on him he's not covered in his head. And I appreciate that and like that. So I think in that sense yeah, as Kellen said, we'll feature him. Some plays will be designed to get it to him but in a case where everybody is one on one across the board, yeah, he's our guy to go to."

  • Healthy for training camp

    Lamb (hamstring) is practicing Wednesday on the first day of training camp, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Lamb and new position mate James Washington (foot) both made it back for the start of camp after missing June minicamp. Rookie third-round pick Jalen Tolbert is also participating, while Michael Gallup (knee) is on the PUP list after having ACL surgery in February. The Cowboys seem optimistic about Gallup contributing early in the season, but he's no threat to Lamb's status as the No. 1 receiver in Dallas.

  • 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. This shouldn't have much impact on Lamb's second-round ADP in summer fantasy drafts as he prepares for his first season as the Cowboys' clear-cut No. 1 receiver.

  • 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.

  • Just two catches

    Lamb caught both of his targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 51-26 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Lamb wasn't involved much, but he picked up first downs on both of his grabs, including a long reception of 31 yards. 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. The 22-year-old will now turn his attention toward his first career playoff appearance, when he figures to be a big factor for the Cowboys.

  • Three catches in loss

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

    Analysis: The Cowboys' offense didn't really get going until late in the second quarter, and Lamb's volume suffered the most among the team's top wideouts -- four other Dallas players, including Cedrick Wilson, saw more targets. 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.

  • Tallies 66 yards in blowout win

    Lamb had four receptions (five targets) for 66 yards and lost two yards on his lone carry in Sunday's 56-14 rout of Washington.

    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

    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.

  • 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.

Lamb now will target a return action Week 13, when Dallas faces New Orleans next Thursday.

    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).

    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.

"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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

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. In Week 5, Lamb and the Cowboys will take on the Giants.

  • Catches three passes

    Lamb caught all three of his targets for 66 yards in Monday night's 41-21 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Lamb made his presence felt with a deep ball off play-action early on, going 44 yards to the one-yard line on Dallas' opening drive. The second-year wideout made a couple grabs afterward as well, but it surprisingly was tight end Dalton Schultz who led the Cowboys in all major receiving categories. Still, with at least 65 yards in each of his first three games, Lamb heads into Week 4's matchup against an improved Panthers defense -- albeit one without top rookie cornerback Jaycee Horn (foot) --…read more

  • Leading receiver in win

    Lamb caught eight of nine targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chargers. He also gained 13 rushing yards on his lone carry.

    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. It was a quiet day overall for the team's aerial attack as offensive coordinator Kellen Moore focused on getting the Dallas running game going, but Lamb has so far been matchup-proof in 2021 heading into a Week 3 clash with the Eagles.

  • Excels in Week 1 loss

    Lamb secured seven of 15 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 31-29 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night. He also returned one punt for 12 yards.

    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. Even with the sub-50-percent catch rate for the night, Lamb and Dak Prescott appear to already be in sync despite a relatively sparse…read more

  • 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. Lamb was well on his way to a 1,000-yard rookie campaign before Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle fracture in Week 5 last year.

    The Cowboys plan to activate Lamb from the reserve/COVID list Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The same goes for Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee and defensive tackle Carlos Watkins. All three will rejoin the team with plenty of time to prepare for Week 1, though Lamb did miss more than a week of practice. Meanwhile, QB Dak Prescott has recovered from a shoulder injury, giving the Cowboys their full stable of playmakers for next Thursday's season opener at Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Also headed for the reserve/COVID-19 list are teammates Carlos Watkins, Malik Hooker and Israel Mukuamu. Per David Moore of The Dallas Morning News, the players won't be eligible to practice until they clear league protocols but should do so before Week 1. The Cowboys open their regular-season slate Sept. 9 against the Buccaneers.

  • 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.

    Lamb failed to haul in his only target during Friday's preseason loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: After sitting out last week's Hall of Fame Game against the Steelers, Lamb saw a few snaps in this one before making a quick exit. Expect the second-year receiver to see more extensive work next week against the Texans as he gets tuned up for the regular season.

    Lamb is slated to play in Friday's preseason game at Arizona, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Lamb was held out of last Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, but considering he's in uniform during pregame warmups Friday, he should log some action for the first time in an exhibition. There's a good chance he doesn't see more than a series or two, though, with two more preseason games on the slate after Friday's contest.

    Lamb may not play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against Pittsburgh, according to DallasCowboys.com.

    Analysis: Lamb is healthy and isn't on the list of 16 players who won't make the trip, but that doesn't mean he'll actually play snaps in the first of Dallas' four preseason games. Reports out of Cowboys camp suggest the second-year pro has been fantastic this summer, with David Helman of the Cowboys' official site even noting that Lamb has reached the "Dez [Bryant] level" of domination in practice.

  • 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. Assuming Prescott is back and healthy in…read more

  • Finds end zone twice against Eagles

    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.

    Analysis: While he managed only about half of the yardage Michael Gallup or Amari Cooper did through the air, Lamb made up for it with his fourth-quarter touchdown run, capping the scoring in the rout. 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 will take aim at that milestone in Week 17's clash with the Giants, as both teams remain alive in the hunt…read more

  • Scores on onside kick return

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

Lamb and Amari Cooper torched the depleted Falcons secondary, combining for a dozen catches and more than 200 yards on the afternoon.

    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

    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.
