CeeDee Lamb 2025 Season in Review

CeeDee Lamb finished 2025 as the number 22 wide receiver in total PPR scoring — and the number 10 wide receiver in PPR per game. That gap tells you everything. When he played, Lamb was a top-ten asset; he only suited up for 13 games, and the missing month is why his season total slid down the leaderboard. He was still the alpha when healthy, commanding a massive share of the Cowboys' passing game alongside George Pickens, who quietly went for over 1,400 yards as the secondary target. This wasn't a down year for Lamb the football player. It was an availability year for Lamb the fantasy asset.

Now let's dig into the numbers. Lamb posted 75 catches for 1,077 yards and 3 touchdowns on 117 targets across 13 games — 15.5 PPR points per game, elite weekly production on a remarkably steady floor. He cleared 14 PPR in 10 of those 13 games, hit 20-plus three times, and logged only two duds. He commanded a 25 percent target share and a 34 percent air yards share, meaning he was both the volume hub and the downfield engine of an attack that ranked fourth in the league in total expected points added at plus 107. The drag on the profile is touchdowns. Just 3 receiving scores on 117 targets — for a receiver with this kind of target share, that's a real underperformance, and it's the single biggest reason the per-game number wasn't even higher.

The defining moment came in Week 7 against the Commanders — first and ten from the Dallas 26, early first quarter, Cowboys up 10 to 8. Prescott took the snap, hit Lamb on a deep middle dig, and Lamb took it the distance for a 74-yard touchdown — half the route in the air, half on the ground after the catch. The play was worth more than five expected points and captured the exact ceiling that made Lamb the number 10 wide receiver in per-game scoring. The frustration of the season is that the ceiling only showed up 13 times.
