Dallas Cowboys Wide Receivers (6)

Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Cedrick Wilson, Simi Fehoko, Noah Brown

Easily the most stacked position on the team, Dallas goes six deep at wide receiver this season. The top three spots are completely unquestioned. Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup each have recorded 1,000-yard seasons (with them both doing so in 2019).

Cooper just quietly turns in Pro Bowl numbers whereas Gallup hasn’t had the same consistency but has proven time and again that he’s capable of carrying the load when asked. Third is CeeDee Lamb, and it’s not hyperbolic to say he’s going to be the best of the bunch before long.

The second-year player had 935 yards as a rookie despite the team’s quarterback struggles and has been balling out in camp. He could be in store for a monster season.

Their fourth wideout seems set as well, with Cedrick Wilson continuing to show he can get the job done when given the opportunity. He shouldn’t be in danger of losing his spot — or any of his snaps.

Lastly, there’s rookie Simi Fehoko and veteran Noah Brown. In all honesty, Brown is the better option of the two and is phenomenal as a blocker at the receiver position. Having said that, he’s the one who is listed last since Dallas did use a draft pick on Fehoko who has an insane mix of size and speed. He could develop into a real contributor.
