BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End WR2
ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has seen his fantasy value plummet due to the season-ending injury to his starting quarterback, Dak Prescott (hamstring). Lamb caught six of his 10 targets for just 21 yards and rushed one time for three in Week 10, scoring a measly 8.4 PPR fantasy points.
CeeDee Lamb on not catching the potential touchdown pass from Cooper Rush in the sun:
“I couldn’t see.”

It didn't help that he was completely blinded and unable to locate the ball when he was wide open for a touchdown catch. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has a stadium that sears the retinas of his players, but that's unlikely to change, because, in his words, it's a "home-field advantage".
Regardless, Cowboys backup quarterback Cooper Rush was abysmal, completing 13 of his 23 passes for just 45 passing yards and losing two fumbles. It's nearly impossible for a receiver to put up good numbers with that kind of passing volume. He will still be a target hog, but the yardage could decline significantly.
In non-PPR leagues, Lamb becomes a WR3/FLEX, and he may become completely reliant on garbage time to produce fantasy-startable point totals consistently.
