From that ute cowboy (@tjacobson0824): How concerning is the Cowboys’ WR situation to start the season in your opinion?
Well, with Michael Gallup and James Washington both coming back from injury, and Amari Cooper gone, there’s no question the onus is going to be on CeeDee Lamb to take a major step forward in his third year as a pro. And part of that will probably have to mean being halfway decent around him which, obviously, will be more difficult with Washington and Gallup on the shelf, presuming neither is out there for Week 1.
So who would I keep an eye on? Noah Brown’s taken advantage of his opportunities in camp, has lost some weight and, going into his sixth year, looks like he really knows what he’s doing out there. Then, there’s Simi Fehoko, who is big enough, and deployed in a certain way, that I actually thought he’d been playing tight end when I talked to Cowboys people about him after Tuesday’s practice. The reality is he’s very much like a hybrid in how they use him, which gives the staff another option.
And then there’s the reality here that when you pay your quarterback at the top of the market, you’ll probably eventually have times when you’re asking him to make the difference for some sort of deficiency you have. No question, to some degree, early in the season, it’ll be on Dak Prescott to do that for Dallas.
