ANDY BEHRENS: As your Yahoo friend Matt Harmon occasionally reminds everyone, it's OK to like two receivers on the same NFL team. This reminder is particularly important where the Dallas Cowboys are concerned, because this team's receiving corps is loaded.

Look, Amari Cooper is 27-years-old. He's already topped a thousand receiving yards in five different seasons playing for two different teams. He's great, very good player, a bankable fantasy weapon. You should go ahead and draft him. It's OK to like him and also to think that CeeDee Lamb is an emerging superstar, because that is what he is.

CeeDee Lamb, also right now, a crazy draft value in fantasy. He's going outside the top 50 overall picks. That, to me, is ridiculous. I've got a ranked as a wide receiver one, solidly inside my top 12 at the position.

Listen, I think he's a top three guy for dynasty purposes as well. If you look at the five games in which Lamb played last season with a healthy Dak Prescott, he was on pace for 93 catches, 1,386 yards, and six touchdowns. That is basically the Justin Jefferson season. The season that made Justin Jefferson an absolute alpha, a true star, a surefire top 10 fantasy receiver.

Lamb is that guy as well. He was on his way to that season. They're lining him up all over the formation. He is going to be absolutely great this year. I would drafted him ahead of any other Dallas receiver. It's OK to like them all, but I would draft Lamb solidly ahead of any of them.
