Cowboys begin their voluntary spring workout program one week from today. Barring a surprise departure from precedent, WR CeeDee Lamb won’t participate, as a potential holdout looms.

Gehlken continues, "Barring a contract extension that, when complete, is expected to make Lamb the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, Lamb won’t take the field."

This is always a tricky path in fantasy, as we've seen holdouts last into the regular season, and that puts a question mark on his value in drafts. Lamb is the WR2 in current 4for4 Rankings, but missing time will obviously put a damper on that. We'll keep an eye on the situation throughout the offseason.

Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb was estimated as a limited practice participant Monday with an ankle injury. But he was upgraded to full participation Tuesday and guarantees he will play Thanksgiving Day.

Lamb was quotes in the story as saying, “I’m straight. I’ll be out there,” Lamb said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. He's been perhaps the hottest fantasy player as of late and owners should again have high expectations heading into a game with the Commanders.

The Cowboys again have high expectations for Jalen Tolbert heading into the 2023 season.

“We had high expectations last year for him,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday. “He’s living up those we had for him last year this year without equivocation.”

Tolbert has locked up the fourth wide receiver spot behind CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Michael Gallup, executive vice president Stephen Jones said Tuesday.

Last year, Tolbert appeared in only eight games, playing 89 offensive snaps and 53 on special teams and making only two catches for 12 yards. While this is likely only news for deeper leagues, Tolbert could be an injury away from having fantasy value.

Wanting to add speed and a complement to Pro Bowler CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys acquired Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks on Sunday for a fifth-round pick in 2023 and a sixth-round pick in 2024.

As the luster has worn off of Michael Gallup as the Cowboys' WR2, Dallas looks to add a compliment to CeeDee Lamb. Last year's offseason additions, James Washington and Jalen Tolbert, combined for two receptions on the season. Cooks should have some useful fantasy games but is still currently ranked as a WR4.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (hip) said he was “full go” in practice today, feeling explosive with nothing restricting him. “I’m great. I’m ready to go.” Set to start Sunday at Lions.

The Cowboys are suddenly looking very enticing after being forced to lean on their defense en route to a 4-2 start. Lamb is set to meet back up with Dak Prescott in a Week 7 matchup against fantasy's most giving defenses.

Michael Gallup could return slightly sooner than expected but he'll do so with Cooper Rush at the helm, and one would assume they will ease him back into the lineup.

Noah Brown has actually performed admirably in his chance as the team's WR2, ranking 17th in yards per route run (2.5 YPRR) amongst 60 qualifying wide receivers through two weeks. Regardless of who is behind him, CeeDee Lamb should be the focal point of the offense throughout the year.

Gallup has been trending toward an early return ever since the team didn't put him on the PUP list. After being inactive the first two weeks, Gallup appears to be heading toward playing in Week 3. He'll be a welcome return to the offense that has Cooper Rush at QB. Gallup should slide in as the team's WR2 behind Lamb, with Brown as the WR3. Gallup could be one some kind of pitch count his first week back, especially with Rush having a nice connection with Brown. Continue to stay updated on Gallup's status as the week goes on. Unfortunately for owners, Gallup and the Cowboys are at the Giants on Monday night.

Mike McCarthy said the hope is Michael Gallup (knee) can go from doing individual drills last week to some “group stuff,” this week. He wasn’t ready to say Gallup could play Sunday.

In all likelihood, Gallup will need at least another week before he gets into a game, the tweet went on to say. Brown should see an increased role again, but with Dak Prescott out and Cooper Rush in, the Cowboys offense likely takes a big step back in terms of fantasy production.

Gallup avoided the PUP list which means the team sees him coming back before Week 4. Owner Jerry Jones said if Week 1 was the Super Bowl, Gallup would probably be able to play. As a result, many speculate he's close to returning, but most reports have him out for Week 1, possibly Week 2 as well. When he's back, he'll be the WR2 behind Lamb, and for now Tolbert and Brown will pick up the slack.

Washington can return for Week 5 and other reports say he should at least be close at that point. Washington should battle for WR3 snaps, but by Week 5 could also be behind Tolbert and/or Brown.
