Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb Expected To Break NFL Receptions Record In 2025

The Dallas Cowboys are poised for a potentially historic 2025 NFL season, with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb predicted to break the single-season receptions record previously set by Michael Thomas in 2019. Lamb, who recorded 135 receptions in 2023 with a healthy quarterback Dak Prescott, fell to 101 catches in 2024 during Prescott's injury-shortened season. The team's acquisition of star wide receiver George Pickens is expected to alleviate defensive pressure on Lamb, creating more opportunities for Lamb to excel alongside Prescott's return. NFL experts, including Jeffri Chadiha, highlight that the combination of Lamb's slot reliability and Pickens' deep threat ability will make the Cowboys' passing attack one of the most dangerous in the league. The Cowboys will open their 2025 campaign against the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, setting the stage for a competitive season. Overall, expectations are high that Lamb's performance, boosted by team changes and a healthier roster, could lead to a record-breaking year.
