Jefferson is getting 22.5% of Minnesota's targets vs roughly 17.5% of Dallas' targets for Lamb. So yes Lamb is getting a little more volume due to the Cowboys throwing far more than the Vikings, but Jefferson is also benefiting from getting a much larger share of his teams passing attack. Plus Jefferson hasn't had the QB instability that Lamb has been dealing with and having to play with third string or practice squad QBs at times. Lamb was my #1 WR in the rookie class before the season and he's having a great year, so I'm not going to have a knee jerk reaction and suddenly move him down in my rankings 3/4 of the way through his first season because someone else is having a slightly better one in a situation that is slightly more favorable at the moment. If we were talking redraft or DFS then sure give me Jefferson over Lamb all day, but this is dynasty and more than the immediate results need to be taken into account.
Yes, but Lamb still has more raw targets and faces lighter coverage so that factor is a net benefit for him relative to Jefferson. And as noted by another poster...he hasn't been producing anywhere near the same clip since Dak went down, so you can't say he's doing anything "in spite" of a volatile QB situation. He was performing
because of an elite QB situation, record-setting passing volume for the team, and favorable defensive matchups due to being the 3rd WR.
Also this is less about moving Lamb
down and more about moving Jefferson
up.
