DALLAS — DraftKings listed CeeDee Lamb at 11/1 to lead the NFL in receiving yards in 2026, the fifth-shortest price on a board NorthJersey.com published Thursday. The odds were current as of Aug. 12.
Four receivers carried shorter prices than the Dallas Cowboys wideout. Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams was the favorite at +550, followed by Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals at 6/1, Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seattle Seahawks at +650, and Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions at +950. NorthJersey.com writer Albert Bainbridge IV picked St. Brown to win the title.
Smith-Njigba finished 2025 on top of the league with 1,793 receiving yards and won Offensive Player of the Year. Nacua was next with 1,715 yards. The last player to repeat as the NFL’s receiving-yardage leader was Calvin Johnson in 2012.
What CeeDee Lamb Produced In 2025
Lamb caught 75 passes for 1,077 yards and 3 touchdowns in 14 games last season. His 14 games and his 3 touchdowns were both career lows, and the 1,077 yards were his fewest since he had 935 as a rookie in 2020. Last season was his fifth straight with at least 1,000 receiving yards, a run no Cowboys receiver had put together since Michael Irvin. ESPN’s annual Top 100 dropped Lamb 14 spots this summer.
George Pickens made an immediate impact in his first season with Dallas, catching 93 passes for 1,429 yards and 9 touchdowns over 17 games. Only two players finished with more receiving yards. DraftKings had Pickens at 30/1.
Lamb spoke Tuesday at The Star. He said the Cowboys have spent the offseason building toward the chance to show what the group can do.
“We can be real, real vicious together,” Lamb said. “And I know that, he knows that.”
Lamb and Pickens combined for 168 catches, 2,506 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. Dallas ranked second in the league in passing yards but finished 7-9-1, missing the playoffs for a second consecutive year. Pickens has said playing alongside Lamb created more creativity and more freedom for both receivers.
Where The Two Contracts Stand
Lamb’s current deal came before the 2024 season, a four-year extension worth $136 million. Pickens is on the franchise tag for 2026 at a fully guaranteed $27.3 million after he and Dallas did not reach a multiyear agreement by the July 15 deadline.
Dak Prescott is going into Year 11 in the NFL and Year 2 in Brian Schottenheimer‘s offense. Every starter from last season’s Dallas offense is back.
The season begins Sept. 13 on the road against the New York Giants. NBC has the 7:20 p.m. CT kickoff.
