CeeDee Lamb's Two-TD Night Powers Cowboys Back in Front of Eagles
Lamb hauled in a 16-yard strike from Dak Prescott for his second score, putting Dallas up 28-21 just over four minutes after falling behind.
Multi-TD games like this are exactly why he's a weekly lock.
- Lamb's 16-yd TD put Dallas up 28-21
- Second Lamb score of the night (first went 9 yds)
- Prescott: 14/25, 206 yds, 3 TD on the night
- Scoring drive: 61 yds, 9 plays, two 3rd-down conversions
- Lamb is WR5, our rank #24, 129 PPR pts in 2026
The Eagles held the lead for all of 4:14. That's how long it took Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb to erase a 21-20 Philadelphia edge and flip it back to Dallas, 28-21, on Lamb's 16-yard touchdown grab in the end zone. It was his second score of the night, following a 9-yard touchdown earlier.
Prescott was surgical on the go-ahead drive, finishing the night 14 of 25 for 206 yards and three touchdowns. Dallas covered 61 yards in nine plays, leaning on two third-down conversions — one of them aided by a defensive holding call on Riq Woolen, who drew Lamb in coverage. The five-yard penalty on a third-and-9 incompletion handed the Cowboys an automatic first down and kept the drive breathing.
That Woolen flag is a small detail with a big fantasy footprint. Lamb is drawing enough attention to force mistakes, and the targets keep flowing even when the catch doesn't. That's the kind of volume-plus-red-zone profile that turns good WRs into weekly difference-makers.
The Fantasy Fallout
Lamb came into this game as our WR5 and the #24 player overall, sitting on 48 catches for 577 yards and four touchdowns through six games in 2026 — good for 129 PPR points. A two-touchdown night only pads that resume and reinforces why he's one of the safest start-every-week assets at the position.
Prescott's stock is quieter but trending up. His 2026 line sat at 1,639 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and five picks across six games (103 PPR points, our QB19 at #49 overall) before this one. Three touchdown passes in a single night is exactly the kind of output that nudges a streaming-tier QB toward matchup-based starter status.
Bottom line: Lamb is a non-negotiable start and remains a cornerstone WR1 in all formats. If you somehow landed him via trade or waiver, you're set at the position. Prescott is more of a weekly matchup call, but nights like this make him a fine QB2 you can plug in when the spot is right.
