3) CeeDee Lamb vs. Broncos
Three players in, and this list is looking a lot like the first round of most of our fantasy drafts. Lamb reclaims his place in the top 5 after a multi-week absence due to an ankle injury. CeeDee made his return in grand fashion last week as he grabbed 5 passes for 110 yards and a score on 8 targets. In his absence, George Pickens staked his claim as at least a “co-alpha,” and he will likely remain in the role for the remainder of the season. This shouldn’t hurt Lamb’s numbers, as last week’s game wasn’t competitive in the second half, which likely had more to do with his single-digit target share. It will be interesting to see who Patrick Surtain will cover this Sunday, but either way, Lamb should get plenty of looks from Dak Prescott. This game should be high scoring, and we want to get any piece of it we can into our lineups.
4) Drake London vs. Dolphins
London enters the matchup coming off three straight games with 10 targets or more. He has been Michael Penix’s favorite target ever since the lefty took over as the Falcons‘ signal caller at the tail end of the 2024 season. Last week, London wasn’t able to convert his 10 targets into much production as they only yielded 4 grabs for 42 yards, but this week he looks to get back on track against a Miami defense that has allowed an average of 29.3 points a game this season, which ranks 29th overall in the league. While the majority of the damage has generally come on the ground, we have seen plenty of receivers put up big numbers with volume against Miami this year. Most notably, Ladd McConkey was able to put up 7 grabs for 100 yards and score just two weeks ago.
5) Courtland Sutton vs. Cowboys
Sutton is coming off a solid game against the Giants, as he was able to convert 10 targets into 6 receptions for 87 yards. While he was held scoreless for the third week in a row, I expect him to find paydirt this weekend against a Cowboys defense that currently ranks at the bottom of the league against the pass. Any piece of this game you are able to get in your lineup should be starting this week, including Sutton as well as his teammates Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims. Sutton should pace the Broncos receiving room in what I expect to be a big day from Bo Nix.
