Nobody needs any help to start CeeDee Lamb, but it's worth pointing out just how good a matchup he has on Thanksgiving. The Cowbosy host Washington, which has struggled to cover wide receivers all season long.
Given that, Brandin Cooks might be a little more desirable than normal (Cooks has scored in three of his last five). Washington's future opponents (Dolphins, Rams and, er, Jets) also should have some nice wide receiver numbers. If you're playing in a fantasy Super Bowl in Week 17, you'll be glad to have Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel in lineups.
Here are the best wide receiver performances against Washington in the last 10 games. Not all of these players are No. 1s, but a whole lot of recent No. 1 and No. 2 wideouts have put up great numbers (or their best numbers, at least) against this pass defense. Eight different scorers in this group, and four with multiple touchdowns.
