CeeDee Lamb made it clear during his incredible 2023 campaign that he is the NFL’s best receiver.

Although the Dallas Cowboys star had already secured a spot at the top of his position before his breakthrough season, he took his game to the next level by recording 135 catches for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns, a league-best mark.

Lamb thrived as the primary option in a high-flying Cowboys offense. Despite being constantly marked by opposing top corners, he still found a way to draw a ridiculous 181 targets and dropped just six passes all season.

Last year marked the third consecutive season in which the Oklahoma product eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark and earned Pro Bowl honors. While he already has career numbers of 5,145 yards and 32 touchdowns on 395 receptions, he is just entering what will ultimately be remembered as one of the most productive primes in NFL history.

There were fears that Lamb, who entered the record books last year as the legendary Cowboys’ all-time leader in catches and yards, would sit out part or all of the 2024 season because his contractual extension extended until the end of August.

The situation looked especially bleak after Lamb publicly posted an “lol” in response to a quote from Jerry Jones in which the owner indicated he had “no sense of urgency” to get a new deal done.

The Cowboys eventually found a way to strike a tenable deal with less than two weeks to go before the season begins. Even with a lack of training camp reps under his belt, it would hardly be a surprise if Lamb can improve on last year’s absurd numbers.

Considering Dallas parted ways with both Michael Gallup and Tony Pollard — two of the team’s top five pass-catchers last year — the offense will have to lean on him for even more production than it has in the past.

If Lamb answers the call and improves on his 2023 production, there will be little doubt about his status as the NFL’s top-ranked wideout.
