The Dallas Cowboys are in a state of uncertainty as they enter what could be the final season of the Dak Prescott era.
They haven't made any sort of notable additions this offseason after getting eliminated in the wildcard round by the Green Bay Packers, and they are in the midst of needing to pay Prescott and CeeDee Lamb in order to keep them around long-term.
Lamb is one of the best receivers in the NFL, and is coming off one of the best individual seasons for a receiver in history. He caught 135 passes for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns, all of which were career highs.
Brandin Cooks also had a solid year as the team's No. 2 receiver, catching 54 passes for 657 yards and eight scores. Both Lamb and Cooks were also top 10 in the league against man coverage.
According to Field Vision Sports, Lamb was the league's best receiver against man coverage and Cooks was seventh. Their threat rating was calculated based on production, success rate, and EPA generated when facing man coverage.

With Michael Gallup gone, the Cowboys will be leaning on their top two receivers even more than before.
