CeeDee Lamb Back Soon?

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb's holdout should be done soon. "I've heard from two different league sources that Lamb's deal in Dallas is getting done soon, in plenty of time for him to be on the field and fully up to speed when the Cowboys take their first snap of the regular season in Cleveland."

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Lamb, of course, has yet to see the field since training camp began. And Cowboys owner/GM/anchor Jerry Jones hasn't sent the best signals.

But Russini's word choice here makes a new deal seem imminent. And it should be. The rest of the league has worked hard to set the WR market this offseason, including multiple draft classmates of Lamb's. It should just be a matter of ironing out the details -- or Dallas deciding they won't pay the premium and trading Lamb.

As long as Lamb does get back well before Week 1, we'll continue drafting him early and counting on the Dallas target hog to remain a consistent lineup driver in fantasy football.

Other Winners & Losers

QB Dak Prescott would obviously win by getting his lead WR back.

We haven't altered our projections for Lamb -- and will continue to keep him perched high assuming he returns.
