From the episode
I still have them both top 12. Part of it is because I just don't love a lot of wide receivers to be on that elite tier this year. I think I like lamb better. I think he's safer than pickings.
STACKED’s take
Richard ranks Lamb top-12 despite teammate-duo regression risk; prefers him over Pickens.
Dave Richard expresses concern about ranking both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens as top-12 wide receivers, citing a historical stat showing that of 17 wide receiver teammate duos finishing top-12 in PPR points per game from 2014-2024, only one (Stefan Diggs and Adam Thielen in 2017-2018) repeated as top-12 the following year. However, Richard still ranks Lamb in the top 12 because he likes Lamb better and thinks he is safer than Pickens. Richard also notes that the Cowboys' defense should be considerably better this year with Quinn and Williams for the full season plus four to five new defensive stars, which should reduce track meets and help both receivers.
