CeeDee Lamb Poised to Break NFL Receptions Record

NFL analysts predict Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb could break Michael Thomas's single-season receptions record of 149 in 2025, thanks to the return of quarterback Dak Prescott and the addition of deep threat George Pickens. Lamb, who posted 135 receptions in 2023 and has three consecutive 100-catch seasons, is expected to benefit from the revamped receiving corps and the team's limited running game. Rookie quarterback Joe Milton has impressed coaches during OTAs and minicamp with his arm talent and mobility, making him a strong candidate for the backup QB role behind Prescott. Some media outlets have speculated about Milton challenging Prescott for the starting position, though local reports consider such speculation premature. The Cowboys' passing attack is projected to be among the league's most dangerous this season. Dallas will open their 2025 campaign facing the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
