The Cowboys’ offense is loaded with names people in fantasy football know, and that could be how somebody ends up drafting one of those guys too early.
I’ve been there before.
I love what Dallas has on offense, and before long I will talk myself into taking a Cowboys player probably before I should, because I know the potential of this offense.
That is where I think several Cowboys fans could get themselves into trouble.
I’m not going to overcomplicate this one because, if healthy, Lamb is a beast.
He averaged 14.3 points per game (PPG) last season with only three touchdowns. I would expect the touchdowns number to climb, and the targets should keep him from killing a lineup during a rough week.
In his career, the fantasy football PPG was nearly three points higher at 17.0.
We all know he has a connection with Dak Prescott, so that part isn’t going to be a problem. They have been together long enough to be able to almost feel where each other is at on the field.
I would be perfectly fine taking CeeDee Lamb in the back half of the first round. If he gets pushed near the top of drafts, I would personally take an elite running back because they are harder to find.
Lamb is the safest Cowboys pick, but he’s not the only good one.
I don’t see George Pickens as the second receiver in Dallas. I see him as the other number 1.
Pickens averaged 17.2 points per game in 2025, which was higher than Lamb. The thing with Pickens that I quickly found out last season is that he is boom or bust. In nine games last season, he had less than 15 PPG.
Lamb normally gives the steadier score, but Pickens can make one or two catches that travel half the field.
If CeeDee Lamb goes in the first-round, George Pickens may be taken shortly after. If you’re in a league where he falls to the second or third round, you better pounce on him.
Dak averaged 18.5 PPG in 2025, but now he is going into his second year with George Pickens and a revamped offense with a running game.
Last season, Dak Prescott was hovering around the 10th quarterback taken. His draft rank was around 77th, which would put him in that 5th to 6th round range.
In smaller leagues, you could get him in the 7th round, but would you spend a pick on a quarterback early and let the top receivers and running backs go? If another manager wants to grab him too early, more power to them. I’ll take the skill position.
I don’t believe Javonte Williams will last until the fourth-round in 2026, but if...
