CeeDee Lamb's performance in the 2023 season was nothing short of spectacular, securing him as a top-tier fantasy wide receiver. Although it is uncertain whether he would have maintained his overall WR1 status had Tyreek Hill not been hindered by a late-season injury, Lamb exceeded all expectations for those who drafted him. He led the NFL in targets with 181 and receptions with 135, finishing second in receiving yards and just one touchdown behind league leaders Mike Evans and Tyreek Hill. This impressive combination of talent and opportunity demonstrated Lamb's undeniable status as a cornerstone fantasy stud.
Now entering his fifth season, Lamb is poised to remain among the league leaders in all of the major receiving statistics. The Cowboys' offense has seen minimal changes from the previous year, and there hasn't been any significant change to his target competition. Despite ongoing contract negotiations with the front office, there is also no indication that this situation will impact Lamb's ability to get on the field and perform in 2024. In fact, he may be motivated to have an even bigger season to strengthen his case for becoming the highest-paid wide receiver ever next offseason.
Lamb's substantial target share in the high-powered Cowboys offense makes him one of the safest and most valuable picks in fantasy drafts. His potential to deliver a league-winning season has solidified his position as a top-three pick in nearly every draft. The combination of consistent performance, opportunity, and the drive to secure a lucrative contract ensures that Lamb will be a focal point of the Cowboys' offense and a key player for fantasy managers in 2024.

CeeDee Lamb lands massive contract extension
WR ends holdout with second-largest non-QB deal in league history
By: Doug Orth | Mon Aug 26, 2:15 pm
|  | ESPN Sources: Cowboys and All-Pro WR CeeDee Lamb reached agreement today on a record four-year, $136 million deal that now makes him the second highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. The deal includes a $38 million signing bonus, the largest ever given to a wide receiver. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Fantasy football's reigning overall WR1 now has two weeks to get his mind and body right for Week 1 against the Browns. The Cowboys really had no choice but to get this deal done if they wanted to sell their fans on the idea of being competitive this season, as Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert would have likely started the year as the top two receivers. Expect Lamb and Dak Prescott to pick up right where they left off last season when the former earned 181 targets. Lamb should remain in contention for the No. 1 overall pick in fantasy drafts.
