8,135
Range 7,226–8,695
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection In-season usage moved the score inside this range.
Proven WR in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.02
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Lamb caught 39 passes for 507 yards in 2026, ranking WR3 through 5 games. He ranks WR3 through 5 games, after WR20. The season isn't over. 2026 still looks like a starter, not a stash. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
