CeeDee Lamb Is The Cowboys No. 1

With Amari Cooper traded to the Cleveland Browns and Michael Gallup recovering from knee surgery, the Dallas Cowboys will need their new No. 1 option to step up in a big way.

 

Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has taken kindly to the challenge. The former first-round pick has produced alongside Cooper and Gallup for the first two years of his career, but it is clear more is expected of him.

 

“When one guy is on him he’s not covered in his head,” said quarterback Dak Prescott. “We’ll feature him. Some plays will be designed to get it to him but in a case where everybody is one on one across the board, yeah, he’s our guy to go to.”

 

Where that notion could come to life is in the red zone, where the box is stacked more often, leaving receivers with one man to beat. If Prescott is to be believed, Lamb could find the end zone frequently in 2022. FanDuel is offering -112 odds on Lamb to score over 7.5 touchdowns in 2022. A roughly one touchdown per two game pace is definitely believable given the quantity of passes the Cowboys will throw and the quality of the man throwing them.
