2. Suspicious CeeDee Lamb.
Coaches have had issues with their No. 1 receiver this season. They will meet her one of the best pass catchers this year at Thanksgiving in CeeDee Lamb.
Lamb is the catalyst for the Cowboys' fifth-ranked passing offense. His catch percentage was 77.9%, with 74 catches on 95 targets, a mark unmatched at any other point in his professional career. He has reached 100 yards in four of the last five games, including 11 catches for 191 yards against the Eagles. He is on pace to set career highs in every major statistical category as a receiver.
Ram will be a problem for commanders that desperately needs to be solved. They lead the league in explosive play, allowing receivers over 100 yards in six of 11 games.
Improving communication in the secondary will be paramount if a manager with the league's third-worst pass defense wants to prevent the Lambs from beating them on Thanksgiving. Missteps in this area are one of the group's biggest problems, including last week's 40-yard touchdown by Darius Slayton and several others I won't mention here to avoid pushing that point further. Here is an example. At this point, I get it.
Of course, Ram isn't the Cowboys' only weapon. Tony Pollard is dynamic with the ball in his hands, and Michael Gallup has the size to play with any defensive back. But if the managers can prevent Lamb from hitting home runs, they will probably take away the Cowboys' best weapon.
