Cedric Tillman vs CeeDee Lamb: The Full Breakdown

CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys) came in at 12.6 PPG over 13 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

CeeDee Lamb carries a 4.4-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Target volume is the story here. CeeDee Lamb saw 117 targets in 2025, while Cedric Tillman drew 78.

Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

One scheduling note: Cedric Tillman is off Week 10 and CeeDee Lamb Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
