There has been something of a merry-go-round at the top wide receiver in fantasy football drafts the past few seasons. Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, Tyreek Hill — all have held claim to the No. 1-ranked WR.
Looks like it's CeeDee Lamb's turn.
... that is, as long as he reports for the season. Lamb, who's in the middle of a contract standoff with the Dallas Cowboys, seeking a top-of-the-market extension, has yet to report for training camp. He'll be subject to fines of $40,000 for each day he misses, on top of the reps he'll be missing out on as the team syncs up for the season. The Cowboys officially placed Lamb on the reserve/did not report list on August 6.
Still, if they can manage to get him in on a new deal, the upside is endless. There's a chance the Cowboys' star wideout could inhale even more targets and catches this season than he did last.
