CeeDee Lamb Week 5 Outlook - Cowboys at Steelers

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Wed, Oct 2nd 2024, 11:14pm EDT

CeeDee Lamb came through with a long touchdown catch-and-run for the second time in his last three games on the way to a top-five weekly finish. Though fantasy managers should be satisfied with Lamb's year-to-date performance, it feels like there has been meat left on the bone. Lamb has 300 first-half yards through four games, but just 16 total yards after intermission. There should be a more concerted effort to keep Lamb involved for four quarters this week versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dallas has not proven they can run the ball, and Pittsburgh boasts one of the best run defenses in the NFL. The Cowboys will also be without number-two wideout Brandin Cooks. The Steelers will surely pay extra attention to Lamb. But this feels like a game where Dak Prescott could target his star wide receiver 15 or more times. That makes CeeDee Lamb an elite WR1 in all leagues.
