CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Highest ranking: 3 | Lowest ranking: Unranked<br \/>Age: 27 | Last year\u2019s ranking: 4<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Lamb is coming off his worst statistical season since he was a rookie in 2020. He dealt with an early-season ankle issue and never quite took off, finishing with 1,077 yards and three touchdowns. Usually an after-the-catch standout, his 322 yards after the catch were down for his standards, too. And his eight drops tied for second in the NFL behind Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Even so, the goodwill he has built over six seasons helped him in the voting. He\u2019s still a game breaker and appeared on all but one ballot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201cWith his ability to separate and make big plays, the attention he demands creates opportunities for others in the offense,\u201d an NFC scout said. \u201cHe\u2019s still on the short list of guys who give you problems consistently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Lamb\u2019s 571 receptions are the fifth most in the NFL since 2020 and already the third most in Cowboys history, as he passed Dez Bryant last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI expect him to have a bounce-back year,\u201d an NFL coordinator said. \u201cHe was never quite the same [last year] off that ankle injury.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"6.
