Pat Fantasy Dog Pound said CeeDee Lamb is an elite first-round pick in Best Ball Mania 6 because the Cowboys’ playoff schedule sets up perfectly for spike-week stacking. He highlighted the Week-16 trip to indoor SoFi against the Chargers and the Week-17 matchup at Washington, projecting the latter for at least a 48.5-point total. Calling it one of his three favorite Week-17 shootouts, he advised pairing Lamb with Commanders pieces—specifically Terry McLaurin and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels—as a bring-back to maximize correlation in the tournament’s finals.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound highlighted Week-17’s Dallas-Washington tilt as a ceiling game for Jaden Daniels and encouraged drafters to prioritize Commander stacks before his ADP rises. Pat argued that Dallas projects as an overrated defense after losing both starting linebackers and ranking 29th in explosive-run rate allowed over the final six weeks of 2023. He envisions Washington trailing in a shootout where Daniels’ dual-threat profile—1,134 collegiate rushing yards last season—translates into 30-point fantasy upside. Because Terry McLaurin’s ADP sits just eight picks after CeeDee Lamb, Pat expects "stacking gravity" to yank McLaurin into the early-third round soon and recommends pairing Daniels with McLaurin now while the cost gap still exists. He noted that missing on Daniels is not fatal since Dak Prescott remains a late fallback, giving drafters multiple outs to complete the game stack.
