“Who is the best wide receiver in the NFL?” is a fun question to debate for fans. It's one that seems to have many plausible responses as well. Not so, according to the Dallas Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb.
“I’m the top receiver in this game and there is no question about it. If there is, I’ll see you again next week,” Lamb told reporters after the Cowboys' 49-17 thrashing of the New York Giants, per the Dallas Morning News' David Moore.
Lamb torched the Giants' secondary repeatedly on Sunday. He finished the game with 11 receptions on 14 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown. He added a rushing touchdown on a 14-yard carry as well, displaying his versatility.
CeeDee Lamb the best wideout?
CeeDee Lamb's boast came after the Cowboys star's fourth straight monster performance. Since Week 6, the former Oklahoma Sooner has been on another planet. He has racked up 617 yards on 41 receptions in four games.
While Lamb absolutely deserves to be in the conversation for NFL's best receiver, he conspicuously made his claim during a week when two other players in the conversation were on a bye week.
Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins and A.J. Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles have both already cracked the 1,000-yard mark for the season. Hill has 1,076 receiving yards to lead the league, while Brown ranks second with 1,005. Hill has doubled Lamb's four touchdowns, while Brown has six on the season.
In Week 11, Lamb will face a Carolina Panthers pass defense that is allowing the sixth-fewest passing yards per game. Judging by his post-game comments, Lamb is ready to go out and prove there is no better receiver in the NFL.
