2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lamb has progressed as expected since going 17th overall in the 2020 draft, jumping from 935 yards as a rookie to 1,102 as a sophomore all the way to 1,359 last season. Amari Cooper's departure from Dallas in a trade paved the way for Lamb to become the unquestioned No. 1 receiver and average 9.2 targets per game -- volume that he could repeat even after the Cowboys added Brandin Cooks this spring. Lamb had fairly modest numbers through six games last season, averaging 5.5 catches for 68.2 yards with two touchdowns, then really got going once Dak Prescott returned from an injury Week 7, putting up 6.7 catches for 86.4 yards with seven TDs in the final 11 games. A healthier season from Prescott combined with the offseason departures of TE Dalton Schultz and RB Ezekiel Elliott would help Lamb avoid any problems from increased target competition at WR in the form of Cooks. The 24-year-old is set up well to at least approach his 2022 production, if not exceed it. Read Past Outlooks

Seeking new contract
Lamb is not expected to attend the start of Dallas' offseason workouts as he continues negotiations with the team on a contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Lamb is currently entering the final season of his rookie contract, which would see him earn roughly $18 million on the fifth-year option, but he's been clear about his desire to come to terms on a long-term deal to keep him with the Cowboys. Patrik Walker of the team's official site reports that Lamb recently responded to rumors of a potential holdout by saying he'll "be in Dallas" this season, though mandatory workouts won't begin until minicamp in early June. DeVonta Smith, a 2021 first-round pick, is fresh off signing a three-year, $75 million extension including $51 million guaranteed with the Eagles, but Lamb's production could well warrant a top-of-the-market deal closer to $30 million per year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No-show for offseason program
Lamb isn't expected to attend the Cowboys' voluntary offseason program, which begins Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Heading into the final year of his rookie contract, Lamb is set to make $17.2 million in 2024, but getting a contract extension is his priority this offseason. The Eagles just reset the wide receiver market by giving DeVonta Smith a three-year, $75 million extension with $51 million in guaranteed money, and Lamb can reasonably expect to land a deal north of that after posting career-best numbers in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Lamb made progress between Years 1 and 2, but it wasn't the leap forward some expected as he instead settled for incremental gains in a balanced Dallas offense. This year it's less
crowded, after Amari Cooper was traded to Cleveland and Cedrick Wilson left for Miami. The
Cowboys added wideouts James Washington and Jalen Tolbert, and they kept both TE Dalton
Schultz and WR Michael Gallup, but there's no longer any question about who's the No. 1 receiver. Lamb previously filled that role with aplomb at Oklahoma, progressing from 807 yards
as a true freshman to 2,485 (and 25 TDs) combined in his sophomore and junior seasons. He
then put up mediocre numbers at the 2020 Combine, including a 4.50 40, and fell to Dallas in
the middle of Round 1. He's no speed demon, to be sure, but makes up for it with agility,
balance and precision. He's also a proverbial "plays bigger than he is" guy, having ranked second among WRs with 12 broken tackles last year. Versatility is another plus for Lamb, who has 19 career carries for 158 yards and a TD, in addition to playing both the slot and perimeter. After taking more than 90 percent of his snaps in the slot as a rookie, Lamb dropped to 36 percent in 2021, with his aDOT rising modestly from 9.3 to 10.3. He should see even more work downfield this season, entering Year 3 as the clear No. 1 receiver in an offense that has quality QB and O-line play.
