4. CeeDee Lamb vs. Jalen Ramsey

Perhaps what will be the most exciting thing to watch this weekend is the matchup between CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Ramsey. In years past, generally, Ramsey would be shadowing Amari Cooper or Michael Gallup, but now, Lamb is the guy.

With Lamb’s flexibility in the slot, Ramsey will likely see some of Gallup as well, but the biggest storyline will certainly be about the WR1 and CB1. Can Lamb live up to the WR1 hype against arguably the best cornerback in the game?

According to Todd Archer, the Cowboys’ star receiver has been dealing with a groin injury this week. While this hopefully will not hinder his game on Sunday, he also said that he feels ‘fine’ and doesn’t want anybody to worry too much about it.

This will be the first real test for Lamb and what he is made of. Playing against Ramsey is no joke, and he will put a lot of pressure on Lamb and attempt to get in his head. This will be one of the biggest matchups of the weekend.
