CeeDee Lamb, Puka Nacua, NFL Injury Statuses and Fantasy Impact for Week 7

CeeDee Lamb will make his return from injury just in time for a massive NFC East clash involving the Dallas Cowboys.

CeeDee Lamb Back For NFC East Clash

CeeDee Lamb's month-long absence comes to an end on Sunday.

Dallas' star wide receiver, who missed time with an ankle injury suffered in Week 3, will be on the field for the NFC East clash with the Washington Commanders.

Prior to his injury, Lamb put up consecutive 100-yard games to start the season. A year ago, he had 10 catches for 67 in his lone matchup with Washington.

Dallas and Washington each rank in the top six in total yards allowed in the NFL, so Sunday's matchup is expected to be a shootout.

All of Dallas' opponents recorded at least 300 total yards and the Cowboys themselves prodcued at least 290 total yards in every game.

Lamb should immediately return to near the top of the fantasy wide receiver rankings. He might not have Ja'Marr Chase's output from Thursday night, but Lamb could be pretty darn close.

Lamb's return obviously hurts the long-term fantasy stock of George Pickens, but Pickens could still make an impact on Sunday given the matchup in play.

Dak Prescott will receive a fantasy boost as well. With Lamb back and Pickens playing at a high level, Prescott has the potential to be a top-five fantasy QB in Week 7.

Puka Nacua Out For London Game

Puka Nacua won't be available for the Rams on Sunday morning in London.

Nacua suffered an ankle injury last week against the Baltimore Ravens. With Sunday off and a Week 8 bye, Nacua has plenty of time to rest up for a Week 9 return against the New Orleans Saints.

Davante Adams and Tutu Atwell are the obvious waiver-wire pickups from the Rams roster. Adams had over 50 receiving yards in five of his six games, while Atwell should be more than just a deep-play threat without Nacua on the field.

Tight end Tyler Higbee should receive a boost in production as well. He only has 10 catches for 102 yards this season, but he did catch all four of his targets and put up 40 receiving yards in Week 6.

Jacksonville's allowed the fourth-most passing yards in the NFL, so it could be an ideal matchup for all of the Rams pass-catchers with elevated roles.

Green Bay's Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs are worth looks, if available on the waiver wire, for their clash with Arizona's sixth-worst passing defense.

The Denver pair of Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims are underrated waiver-wire pickups for spot starts with Nacua out. They face the New York Giants with the seventh-worst passing defense. Each player should have lower roster percentages than the Green Bay pair.
