From the episode

Pickens actually had more targets than CeeDee Lamb in this game... I consider CeeDee the safer play on a week-to-week basis... CeeDee is actually getting targeted deeper down the field this year. 13-yard ADOT. Pickens, 11.9... it's more of the layup targets, scheme targets that go to Lamb that I think makes me feel like CeeDee is safer.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Lamb's 13-yard ADOT and layup targets make him safer than Pickens despite lower recent target share.

Evan Silva notes that CeeDee Lamb is the safer week-to-week play compared to Brandin Pickens, despite Pickens having more targets in the recent game. Silva observes that Lamb's 13-yard ADOT is actually higher than Pickens' 11.9-yard ADOT this year (compared to both being around 12 yards last year), and that Lamb receives more layup/scheme targets that make him safer. Lamb, Pickens, and Flournoy are on the field for almost every passing play in the Cowboys' three-wide receiver sets.
