Wide Receiver (6):

CeeDee Lamb
Michael Gallup
James Washington
Jalen Tolbert
Simi Fehoko
Noah Brown

Last season, the Dallas Cowboys had arguably the best receiving corps in the NFL. Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, and Michael Gallup were all three 1,000-yard talents at the position. Even their fourth wideout was a contributor as Cedrick Wilson put up 602 yards receiving as he filled in following Michael Gallup’s torn ACL.

Looking ahead to 2022, the receiving group is still solid but no longer the best in the league. Cooper is in Cleveland and Wilson is in Miami. Gallup was re-signed to a long extension but he’s coming off another knee injury which should be concerning.

Behind him and Lamb — who is ready to break out into stardom — is James Washington. A former second-round pick for the Steelers, Washington never got rolling in Pittsburgh and hopes to find new life in Big D.

He will have to try and hold off Jalen Tolbert, a third-round pick this season from South Alabama. Tolbert played for a smaller program but has a lot to offer. In time, he could prove to be their best pick from 2022.

Dallas ends up going six deep here as they keep both Simi Fehoko and Noah Brown. Fehoko was a fifth-round pick in 2021 who possesses great size and athleticism. As for Brown, he continues to make the roster as a player who does a lot of the small things the right way.
