Dallas Cowboys receiver George Pickens has played like a true No. 1 receiver in CeeDee Lamb’s absence, posting totals of 134, 57, and 168 yards.<\/p>\n

And now that Lamb is expected to be back in Week 7 against the Washington Commanders, the dynamic duo will hit the field together once again, which is a massive boost to Brian Schottenheimer’s offense.<\/p>\n

When the trade for Pickens was made, many were skeptical about whether the pair could co-exist on the field, given both are considered top receivers, and when asked about George’s form, CeeDee made a point to tell reporters a case of “I told you so” when it comes to Pickens being seen as a No. 1.<\/p>\n

“I gave y’all a warning,” Lamb said. “I want to say I was at K1 softball [in the offseason] and I was like, you got two ones. I don’t think everybody really believed me until one of us went down, and then you saw. So, it’s like a prove me right and prove everybody else wrong about who he is, his humility, and the presence he bring to this team and to this game.<\/p>\n

“He’s a dominant receiver, we all know that, and he’s a very exciting player.”<\/p>\n

Cowboys facing crucial Commanders clash<\/h2>\n

Given the state of the NFC East, the Cowboys, with a win over Washington, have the chance to move into second place, behind the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n

Dallas had a chance to close the gap last week against the Carolina Panthers, but failed to take advantage, the same can’t happen here, plus it would be nice to have the tie-breaker over the Commanders as well.<\/p>\n

With Lamb returning home and Washington potentially without Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, the Cowboys have an opportunity to take advantage.<\/p>\n

With Lamb and Pickens set to terrorize the Commanders’ defense, it might be up to Dallas’ defense to get one stop, just one, to move to 3-3-1 and to be in the mix for the division after an up-and-down start to the year.<\/p>\n
