Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb took his game to the next level in his third NFL season. He stayed healthy and played all 17 games in 2022, but could that be in jeopardy this season? Will Lamb be ready for the Training Camp?
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb took his game to the next level in his third NFL season. Following the trade of Amari Cooper during the 2022 offseason, Lamb stepped up as the undisputed WR1 in Dallas' offense and put up big numbers.
He totaled 107 catches for 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns last season, all career-highs. His WR5 PPR finish was also the best of his young career. He stayed healthy and played all 17 games in 2022, but could that be in jeopardy this upcoming season?
Lamb left the Cowboys OTAs early on Wednesday with an apparent leg injury. Will he be ready for the Training Camp?

Is Ceedee Lamb Injured Or Healthy?
Lamb left the Cowboys' minicamp practice early on Wednesday with a leg injury after making a spectacular one-handed catch. He was seen limping afterward but only took off a couple of plays before returning later.
The Pro Bowl wideout, though, missed Dallas' final OTAs on Thursday because of the leg issue. However, the Cowboys don't view the injury as a real "concern," which is great news. The team likely wanted to give him the day off and let him rest before Training Camp starts in late July.
It appears the Cowboys are taking a careful approach with their 24-year-old superstar wideout before Traning Camp begins later next month. There shouldn't be any worry that Lamb will miss the start of Training Camp. He should be good to go by then.
Ceedee Lamb 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook
Lamb was a fantasy football superstar last season and should be again in 2023. In 2022, Lamb averaged 17.74 PPR points per game and had seven top-12 wide receiver finishes. He was a surefire WR1 and had 19.7 points (Week 15), 34 points (Week 16), and 21 points (Week 17) in PPR formats in the fantasy playoffs last season.
Dallas added Brandin Cooks this offseason to join Lamb and Michael Gallup in the receiving game. But, the Cooks' move could actually help the young receiver more than it can hurt him. He will likely face fewer double teams in the offense with the veteran speedster now there.
Assuming his injury is minor, Lamb should put up similar stats in 2023 and be a second-round pick in drafts. He finished as the WR5 in fantasy last season, and there's no reason to believe he can't finish better than that in year four in Dallas' electric offense.
