2. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys (vs. WAS)

Between Amari Cooper being banged up and also recently recovering from COVID-19, CeeDee Lamb has taken a firm grasp on the number one wide receiver position in Dallas. He’s had seven or more targets in four of his last five games, and he’s coming off of a 7-89 game against New Orleans.

Lamb gets a terrible Washington secondary, who rank 30th in the league in passing yards per game, and allow the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers this year. Lamb’s 8.2 targets per game and 5.2 catches per game put him in solid, low-end WR1 territory, and he should return that production again this week with a solid matchup on hand.

Lamb has top-10 upside and will be a popular daily fantasy pick this week.
