4. CeeDee Lamb will lead Dallas in receiving yards again

Amari Cooper was the brightest star in Dallas’ receiving corps during their Week 1 loss, but the focus shifted to Lamb last week. The fact that Philadelphia corner Darius Slay will likely shadow Cooper in this game gives Lamb another big chance to put up numbers.

If the Eagles try to cover Lamb one-on-one with Steven Nelson isn’t going to end in disaster for the Philadelphia defense. Lamb is just in a different class as a player. His speed and length give him a tremendous advantage over almost every corner in the NFL.

The Cowboys’ improved pass blocking in Week 2 gave Lamb more time to work his clever routes down the field. That’s going to happen again against the Eagles on Monday night.

Look for Lamb to go over 100-yards receiving again and to add another score to his season totals. There’s even an outside chance that he flirts with the 200-yard receiving mark if things break his way. One big catch could make Lamb this week’s top fantasy wide receiver.
