If you have Dallas Cowboys superstar wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on your fantasy football team, congratulations (also, I hate you).
The standout pass catcher has been crushing it so far this season, sitting in the top three among all NFL wide receivers in receptions (60), yards (709), and touchdown grabs (six).
Sunday was another banner day for the five-time Pro Bowl selection, hauling in 10 catches for 195 yards and a score and proving to everyone why he is one of the best weapons in the league.

But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for Lamb, for as much as he helped America’s Team to a victory over the Indianapolis Colts this afternoon, he had a pretty massive blunder at a critical point in the fourth quarter of the game.
Hanging onto a three-point lead and facing a third-and-12 from their own 39-yard-line, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott tossed up a prayer to his dynamic WR1 while staring down the barrel of a blitz.
Lamb plucked the ball mere inches from the ground and proceeded to stand up and run for another 25 yards.
Seems like a clutch play from a clutch player in a high leverage situation, right?

Watch the whole thing.
Poor CeeDee did everything right and got his team from a nearly certain punting scenario to the red zone, only to cough it all up and give the Colts a huge shot in the arm.
And for those of you wondering if Indy linebacker Austin Ajiake was the one who tripped Lamb up, thus negating the fumble by way of the ground causing it as a result of a tackle, the play was reviewed and upheld.
Colts ball, and a rare blemish on an otherwise stellar day for CeeDee.
As I mentioned, the Cowboys would end up taking the win on the road in a back-and-forth 27-23 affair, but for a moment there, it looked like CeeDee Lamb went from GOAT to sacrificial lamb in just one wacky play.
