Patrik: ‘Tis an ideal query, it’s. In trying across the league, in each conferences I’m hard-pressed to discover a stronger duo at WR than CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. This isn’t a biased take, however moderately the science of the scenario. Lamb and Pickens aren’t WR1 and WR2. They’re two true WR1s which are additionally led by an All-Professional quarterback who, if not for a historically-bad protection in 2025, may’ve been within the MVP dialog (once more). Everybody is aware of what Lamb can do, and that’s why he’s among the best within the league on the place, no matter who you ask.
What many have been hoping to search out out is what Pickens might be, and that reply was carved in stone with a 1,400+ yard season (with 9 TDs) in Dallas that led to his first-ever Professional Bowl nod and and a Second-team All-Professional honor. I’ll cease quick, in the intervening time, of claiming they’re the No. 1 WR duo in all of the land — primarily as a result of the pattern dimension for what Pickens did final season is small as in comparison with, say, the highest two guys in a Rams uniform. However I’d put them greater than Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, squeezing them proper into the No. 2 spot.
Mickey: Can’t think about any decrease than Prime 5 within the NFL. Give it some thought, two Professional Bowl receivers in 2025 on the identical staff, and CeeDee Lamb achieved that recognition when restricted to only 14 video games however nonetheless producing 1,077 receiving yards whereas Pickens earned his first Professional Bowl choice by choosing up the slack in Lamb’s absence, ending with career-highs of 93 catches, 1,429 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns. Who else can match these numbers? Solely two different groups had two 1,000-yard receivers in 2025, Detroit with Amon-Ra St. Brown (1,401) and Jameson Williams (1,117) and Philadelphia with Devonta Smith (1,008) and A.J. Brown (1,003), not with the Eagles.
