Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb did what they've done for years, punching in a 1-yard touchdown to tie the Cowboys and Giants at 7-7 with 5:44 left in the second quarter. The score is the kind of goal-line reward fantasy managers bank on when they roster a WR1 in a good offense.
The drive was gift-wrapped by New York. On third-and-11 from the Dallas 24, Greg Newsome drew a pass-interference flag on a deep shot to George Pickens, flipping the field to the Giants' 38. Then on third-and-4 from the 21, Dru Phillips got tagged for another DPI, planting the ball on the 2 and setting up Prescott's short toss to Lamb a couple of plays later.
There was some drama on the score itself — Lamb looked like he may have pushed off in the end zone, but officials kept their flags in their pockets. New York had reason to feel aggrieved. Before Dallas even started the drive, the Giants were flagged for a phantom false start on a fourth-down look that replay couldn't confirm, with NBC's Terry McAuley saying he checked multiple angles and saw no lineman move.
For fantasy purposes, the details of the officiating matter less than the box score. A touchdown is a touchdown, and Lamb's involvement at the goal line is exactly what you draft him for. He posted 201 PPR points across 14 games last season (2025), with 75 catches for 1,077 yards and three scores.
The nuance is the recent trend. Lamb has been running about 2.9 fantasy points below his season average over his last five games (2025), and Pickens — our WR5 with 290 PPR points and 1,429 yards last season — is siphoning volume. Prescott himself is down 4.8 points versus his average over that same stretch, so the offense hasn't been a fantasy fire hose lately.
Still, Prescott's full 2025 line — 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, zero interceptions — tells you the ceiling is real when this passing game clicks, and this drive showed the ceiling is still there. Lamb sits at our No. 63 overall and No. 19 at receiver.
The verdict: start Lamb without a second thought. The target share and red-zone role haven't gone anywhere, and one quiet stretch doesn't override a season's worth of production. If a nervous manager in your league is souring on the recent dip, that's your window to buy — but from your own roster, he's a lock-in every week.
