Pro Football Focus’s Trevor Sikkema ranked the NFL’s best receiver corps. Where did he place the Dallas Cowboys after the acquisition of former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, and who did he rank at the top spot?
The Cowboys were ranked at No. 15, with Sikkema noting the team needed more production from Jalen Tolbert and Jake Ferguson.
CeeDee Lamb carries the Cowboys’ ranking here. His 79.9 PFF receiving grade in 2024 was low for his standards, but he recorded a 91.2 mark the year prior when Dak Prescott was fully healthy. Dallas traded for George Pickens, who is coming off a career-high 78.6 PFF overall grade, but they need more from Jake Ferguson, Jalen Tolbert and someone — anyone — out of the backfield.
Ferguson’s numbers fell across the board last season with fewer receptions (59), yards (494) and touchdowns (0) while Tolbert had career highs in targets, yards, catches and touchdowns, finishing the season with 49 receptions for 610 yards with seven touchdowns.
The top spot on the list went to NFC East rival and defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, whom the Cowboys will face in their first game of the season.
