With George Pickens signing his tag (which I am so thankful for), the emergence of Ryan Flournoy last season and the offseason signings the Cowboys have made at receiver, is it fair to think we will see CeeDee Lamb in the slot more in 2026? Obviously, he is as effective on the outside as anyone, but I feel like his YAC numbers multiply with the mismatches he creates in the slot. – Brian Haul*/Winter Haven, FL*
Tommy: He could, but I think you're going to see Lamb play all over the place. Brian Schottenheimer has emphasized all offseason that he likes the idea of moving all of his receivers around, including Lamb, Pickens and Flournoy. Pickens is the one of the bunch who typically hasn't been utilized in motion or different areas of alignment, but it worked out well when Dallas did it last year.
That goes to say that sure, while there may be an uptick in the total number of snaps Lamb takes from the slot, I think you're going to see the same results as usual from Lamb in 2026. The great thing about where Dallas is right now in the receiver room is the ability to move their pieces around, which can create mismatches for defenses and continue to produce big results.
