PositiveValueJul 31, 2026FantasyPros Articles

Lamb posted the second-lowest numbers of his career in 2025 with 117 targets, 75 receptions, and 1,077 receiving yards (only 2020 worse), plus a career-low three touchdowns. George Pickens recorded a 22.1% red-zone target share versus Lamb's 18.6%, behind Jake Ferguson's 23.1%, a sharp decline from Lamb's 27.7% in 2024 and 28.8% in 2023 when he led the team by 10%. However, if 2025 is viewed as a blip rather than the new normal, Lamb becomes a value pick at 1.12; betting on his well-established connection with Dak Prescott and the team's bounce-back potential is a reasonable wager.
