Earlier on in the game, Lamb dropped a 45-yard catch that led to his trolling on social media. He is a high draft pick in this year’s fantasy football league and is expected to perform well now that Amari Cooper has left the team for Cleveland Browns. 

“How all of us feel about the CeeDee Lamb drop. Trying to stay happy while crying inside,” a user tweeted.

Over the past two seasons, he has played in all of Cowboys league matches and has 11 receiving touchdowns under his belt. In two years, he has recorded a combined total of 2037 receiving yards in 153 passes.
